Late Breaking Abstract - Efficacy of CSJ117 on allergen-induced asthmatic responses in mild atopic asthma patients
2020
Introduction: CSJ117 is a potent neutralizing antibody fragment against human Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), formulated as a PulmoSol™ engineered powder in hard capsules for delivery to the lungs via dry powder inhaler. Methods: In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 28 mild, atopic asthmatics meeting elibility criteria were randomized to receive 4mg CSJ117 (n = 15) or placebo (n = 13) inhaled daily for 12 weeks. Allergen inhalation challenge (AIC) was conducted at screening, day 42 and day 84. The primary efficacy variable was the late asthmatic response (LAR), measured 3 to 7 hours after AIC at day 84. Other outcomes included the early asthmatic response (EAR) measured with…

Technical standards in allergen exposure chambers worldwide - an EAACI Task Force Report
2021
Allergen exposure chambers (AECs) can be used for controlled exposure to allergenic and non-allergenic airborne particles in an enclosed environment, in order to (i) characterize the pathological features of respiratory diseases and (ii) contribute to and accelerate the clinical development of pharmacological treatments and allergen immunotherapy for allergic disease of the respiratory tract (such as allergic rhinitis, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and allergic asthma). In the guidelines of the European Medicines Agency for the clinical development of products for allergen immunotherapy (AIT), the role of AECs in determining primary endpoints in dose-finding Phase II trials is emphasized. A…
The effect of tiotropium/olodaterol versus fluticasone propionate/salmeterol on left ventricular filling and lung hyperinflation in patients with COPD
2020
This exploratory, randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, multicentre, cross-over study explored the effect of 6 weeks of treatment with tiotropium/olodaterol (T/O) versus fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (F/S) on left ventricular filling in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with functional residual capacity (FRC) >120% predicted and postbronchodilator improvement of FRC ≥7.5%. Overall, 76 patients were randomised across nine sites. Treatment with T/O or F/S increased left ventricular end-diastolic volume index from baseline (adjusted mean change: T/O: 2.317 mL/m2, F/S: 2.855 mL/m2), with no statistically significant difference between treatments. However, T/O resulted…
