Phase 2a, AMP Challenge, Dose Escalation Study to Assess the Dose Response for Topical Efficacy and Systemic Activity in Asthmatic Subjects
An Escalating Dose, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Incomplete-block, 2-period Cross-over Study to Assess the Dose Response for Topical Efficacy Via Airway Responsiveness to Adenosine-5'-Monophosphate (AMP) Challenge and the Dose Response for Systemic Activity Via 24h Plasma Cortisol Suppression and Thereby the Relative Therapeutic Index for Fluticasone Furoate (FF), Fluticasone Propionate (FP) and Budesonide (BUD) in Asthmatic Subjects

Brief Summary
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, 2-period crossover, escalating repeat dose study, aiming to investigate whether higher potency of different inhaled corticosteroid confers an improvement in the topical efficacy to systemic activity ratio in asthmatic subjects. It will compare the dose response for topical efficacy via airway responsiveness (to adenosine-5'-monophosphate \[AMP\] challenge), and the dose response for systemic activity via 24 hour plasma cortisol suppression, and thereby compare the relative therapeutic index, for the following inhaled corticosteroids: fluticasone furoate (FF), fluticasone propionate (FP) and budesonide (BUD). There will be a screening visit 4 - 42 days before the first dose of study treatment, and AMP challenge Provocative concentration 20 (PC20) of \<=80 milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL) at screening visit 2 i.e. at 4 - 14 days before the first dose of study treatment. Subjects will be randomized to one of 5 or 12 treatment sequences, and will have one or two treatment periods, each comprising 5 consecutive 7-day phases of escalating doses of either FF, FP, BUD or placebo. There will be a 25- to 42-day washout period between treatment periods. The study duration for each subject will be approximately 13 or 24 weeks including the follow-up period.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Provocative Concentration (PC) of Adenosine 5' Monophosphate (AMP) Causing a 20 Percent (%) Reduction in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) (AMP PC20)- Dose Response Analysis
The percentage fall in FEV1 was calculated using highest FEV1 (post saline) minus highest FEV1 (post AMP) divided by highest FEV1 (post saline)\*100 where highest FEV1 (post saline) is the highest value of two FEV1 measurements at 60 and 180 seconds after the saline control, highest FEV1 (post AMP) is the highest value of the two FEV1 measurements at 60 and 180 seconds after the dose of AMP. Results are presented treatment wise. The analysis method was a 3 parameter Emax model with log 2 transformed AMP PC20 as the outcome variable, assuming common Emax across FF, FP and BUD, and with an unstructured variance-covariance matrix. Mean and 95% Confidence Interval (CI) presented are predicted estimate.
12 hours post last dose on Day 7
Cortisol Suppression 0-24 Hours Weighted Mean-Dose Response Analysis
Blood samples for measurement of plasma cortisol were collected at given time point. The weighted means were derived by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) over the 0-24-hour period using the trapezoidal rule, and then dividing it by the actual time interval. Results are presented treatment wise. Mean and 95% CI presented are predicted estimate. The analysis method was an inhibitory exponential power-law model with log e transformed cortisol as the outcome variable, assuming 100% inhibition at highest doses.
Pre-dose PM dose on Day 6 to pre-dose PM dose Day 7
Theraputic Index of FF
Therapeutic Index was calculated by ED20 for Cortisol Suppression 0-24 Hours Weighted Mean (nanomoles per liter\[nmol/L\]) divided by Dose at which 80% of the maximum effect is reached (ED80) for AMP PC20 for FF 25 mcg, FF 100 mcg, FF 200 mcg, FF 400 mcg, FF 800 mcg. Theraputic index has been presented. Only those participants with data available at the specified time points were analyzed. The timeframe mentioned is for AMP PC20 and Cortisol suppression respectively.
12 hours post-dose on Day 7, pre-dose PM dose on Day 6 to pre-dose PM dose Day 7
Theraputic Index of FP

Theraputic index has been presented. The timeframe mentioned is for AMP PC20 and Cortisol suppression respectively.
12 hours post-dose on Day 7, pre-dose PM dose on Day 6 to pre-dose PM dose Day 7
Theraputic Index of BUD
Therapeutic Index was calculated by ED20 for Cortisol Suppression 0-24 Hours Weighted Mean (nanomoles per liter\[nmol/L\]) divided by ED80 for AMP PC20 for BUD 100 mcg, BUD 400 mcg, BUD 800 mcg, BUD 1600 mcg, BUD 3200 mcg. Theraputic index has been presented. The timeframe mentioned is for AMP PC20 and Cortisol suppression respectively.
