Evidence outlook · lead readout
NCT01978119 · Asthma
The completed lead evidence has the design features that historically survive confirmatory trials: randomized, controlled, and adequately powered against a prespecified clinically accepted endpoint.
NCT01978119: Participants were randomized to receive both inhaler devices in a double-blind crossover design, so each patient effectively served as their own comparator between the capsule-based and multi-dose delivery systems. The primary endpoint, change in trough FEV1 (a hard lung-function measure), showed a difference of 0.028 L between devices with a 95% CI of -0.024 to 0.080 L, which fell entirely inside the pre-specified non-inferiority margin, meaning the two devices were confirmed to work equivalently as intended.
