A Study to Assess the Efficacy of a 5-day, 10- mg PBF-680 Oral Administration on Late Asthmatic Responses (LAR) in Mild to Moderate Asthmatic Patients.

Summary

This study is the second Phase-II trial analyzing efficacy outcomes of PBF-680 in asthmatic subjects, following the supportive data from the proof-of-concept trial on the effect of PBF-680 on airway hyperresponsiveness to adenosine monophasphate (AMP). The purpose of the present study is to provide an assessment on the efficacy of a 5-day treatment course of once daily, orally administered, 10-mg PBF-680 doses, to attenuate "Late Asthmatic Responses" (LAR) as a primary efficacy outcome. The study also aims at analyzing the effect of the PBF-680 treatment course on airway inflammation-related outcomes including airway hyperresponsiveness to AMP at 24 h after allergen bronchoprovocation, plus nitric oxide fraction in exhaled air (FeNO) and airway inflammatory cells counts in induced sputum under the effect of an additional 10-mg PBF-680 dose on the 6th treatment period day. Overall, the study aims at providing evidence on the efficacy of PBF-680 on outcomes, particularly the LAR, that are well established to screen valid drugs for asthma maintenance therapy.
