Introduction: Growth impairment is a known adverse event (AE) of corticosteroids in children. This study aimed to assess the effect of once-daily (QD) inhaled fluticasone furoate (FF) versus placebo on growth velocity over 1 year in prepubertal children with well-controlled asthma.
Materials And Methods: This randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, multicenter study (NCT02889809) included prepubertal children, aged 5 to <9 years (boys), and 5 to <8 years (girls), with ≥6 months' asthma history.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSK3772847, compared with placebo administered subcutaneously (SC) in healthy participants, including cohorts of Japanese and Chinese participants. This was a single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, single ascending dose study. Following a screening period of up to 28 days, eligible participants were assigned to one of four cohorts receiving a single dose of GSK3772847 70 mg (cohort 1) or 140 mg (cohorts 2, 3, and 4) or placebo SC.

Background: Most biologics for severe asthma target only type 2 immunity. Inhibition of IL-33 signaling has the potential to target type 2 and non-type 2 pathways.
Objective: This multicenter phase IIA study evaluated the safety and efficacy of GSK3772847, a human mAb directed against the IL-33 receptor (IL-33R) in subjects with moderate-to-severe uncontrolled asthma.
Purpose: A dry powder inhaler formulation of the inhaled corticosteroid fluticasone furoate (FF) is being evaluated for use in children. An important potential risk associated with the use of inhaled corticosteroids in children is growth suppression. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the short-term lower leg growth in children with asthma treated for 2 weeks with inhaled FF versus placebo from the ELLIPTA inhaler.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of the ICS/LABA combination fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (FF/VI) 100/25 μg in Asian patients with asthma.
Methods: A randomized (1:1), 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter phase III study of once-daily FF/VI 100/25 μg versus placebo in patients of Asian ancestry ages ≥12 years with asthma, uncontrolled on a low- to mid-strength ICS or low-dose ICS/LABA.
Background: This study investigated the efficacy and safety of the inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) combination fluticasone furoate (FF)/vilanterol (VI) in Asian asthma patients.
Methods: A 12-week, double-blind, double-dummy, active-comparator, parallel-group, multicenter study. 309 Asian asthma patients (≥12 years, uncontrolled with high-strength ICS or mid-dose ICS/LABA) were randomized (1:1) and included in the intent-to-treat population; 155 received once-daily FF/VI 200/25 mcg and 154 received twice-daily fluticasone propionate (FP) 500 mcg.
Background: Inhaled corticosteroids are a mainstay of therapy for persistent asthma, but suboptimal adherence with twice-daily use is widespread. Fluticasone furoate (FF) is a new inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) suitable for once-daily dosing in asthma. This study was performed to descriptively assess the efficacy and safety of two doses of FF, with no planned formal statistical hypothesis testing.

Our objective was to assess the efficacy and safety of the novel ICS fluticasone furoate (FF) over 24 weeks versus placebo. This was a 24-week double-blind, double-dummy, placebo- and active-controlled study (NCT01159912) of 343 asthma patients (≥12 years) not controlled by their current ICS.

This study evaluated the novel, once-daily LABA vilanterol trifenatate (VI) in asthma patients who remained symptomatic despite existing ICS therapy. The study involved a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of VI (3, 6.
