Evidence outlook · lead readout
NCT01449162 · 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.
NCT01449162: This was a randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 420 patients that measured the rate of severe asthma exacerbations, a hard clinical outcome. Masitinib added to oral corticosteroids reduced the exacerbation rate by 35% compared with placebo added to oral corticosteroids, a statistically significant result.
