Trial overview
This study is an interventional trial, which means researchers give one or more treatments and then compare the results.[1] It is studying asthma in children and looking at whether QMF149, which includes Indacaterol Acetate, works better than budesonide for improving lung function.[1]
Who can participate
The trial is designed for children from 6 to less than 12 years of age who have asthma.[1] This means the study is focused on a pediatric population, so the findings are meant for children rather than adults.[1]
What is being measured
The main outcome is the change from baseline in FEV1 at Week 12 of each treatment period.[1] Baseline means the starting point before treatment begins, and FEV1 is a breathing test that shows how much air a child can blow out in one second.[1] In simple words, the study wants to see if lung function improves after treatment.[1]
Trial phase and status
This is a Phase 3 study.[1] Phase 3 trials usually test how well a treatment works in a larger group and continue to check safety.[1] The status is Authorised, which means the study has been approved to proceed.[1]
Treatments being compared
The study compares QMF149 with budesonide.[1] QMF149 is the name used in the trial for a combination that includes Indacaterol Acetate and mometasone furoate.[1] The purpose of the comparison is to see whether QMF149 is better at improving lung function than the control treatment.[1]
- QMF149: the study treatment being tested in this trial.[1]
- Budesonide: the comparison treatment used to judge whether the study treatment works better.[1]
- FEV1: the main breathing measure used to check lung function.[1]
Why this study matters
Asthma can affect breathing in children, so studies like this try to find treatments that improve lung function in a reliable way.[1] This trial adds information about Indacaterol Acetate in a specific age group and helps researchers compare it with an existing treatment approach.[1] The enrolled group is 194 participants, which gives the study a defined sample size for evaluation.[1]
