Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety and Tolerability of Glycopyrronium (Bromide) in Children (6 to Less Than 12 Years) With Asthma

The study design is a double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized sequence, three-treatment, three-period, six-sequence, cross-over multiple-dose study to evaluate efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety and tolerability of glycopyrronium bromide (bromide) in children from 6 to less than 12 years of age with asthma with forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) ≥60% and ≤ 90% of the predicted normal value for the participant. This study will consist of 4 phases: Screening, Run-in, Treatment and Follow-up. After the screening phase, participants will enter the Run-in Phase to further assess eligibility and those participants that meet all eligibility criteria will be randomized. Study treatment will be administered in addition to background asthma LABA+ICS controller therapy (salmeterol xinafoate 50µg/fluticasone propionate 100µg) from entering the run-in period, through to the end of the treatment phase, including the 2 wash-out periods. Participants will be randomized to one of 6 different sequences with an equal (1:1:1:1:1:1) randomization ratio. The Treatment Phase will last 10 weeks, and every sequence is divided in three treatment periods: Glycopyrronium bromide 12.5 µg, Glycopyrronium bromide 25µg or matching placebo dry powder in capsules for inhalation, via Breezhaler. Each treatment period lasts 2 weeks and 2 consecutive treatment periods are separated by a 2-week wash-out period. Participants who discontinue their study treatment prematurely will be required to return to the clinic for an Early Termination Visit. 30 days after last treatment date, a final telephone contact must be conducted for safety follow-up. The total duration of the trial for a participant (from screening to follow up) is approximately 20 weeks including safety follow-up.
