Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with planned enrolment of 264 patients from the UK and Singapore. Eligible patients are 18-80 years old with ≥6 weeks' duration of non-specific respi...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Written informed consent is obtained before conducting any study-related procedures
  • The patient is a man or woman aged 18 to 80 years as of the screening visit
  • The patient is experiencing non-specific respiratory symptoms defined as follows: Cough and/or wheeze and/or chronic dyspnoea for ≥ 6 weeks prior to visit 1
  • Patients displaying an FEV1\< 90% predicted at visit 1, will also need to show a reversibility to a short-acting beta-agonist of \< 20% at visit 1 or within the previous year
  • Women of childbearing potential (post-menarche or less than 2 years post-menopausal or not surgically sterile) must be willing to commit to using a medically accepted method of contraception for the duration of the study. Accepted methods of contraception include: intrauterine devices (IUD), systemic contraception e.g. steroidal contraceptives (oral, implanted transdermal or injected), barrier methods with spermicide, and partner vasectomy

Exclusion

  • The patient has ever been diagnosed with asthma as evidenced by the UK quality outcome framework approved Read code as well as a reversibility of ≥ 20% predicted
  • The patient has received oral, inhaled or systemic corticosteroids, a leukotriene modifier or long-acting-beta-agonist within four weeks prior to visit 1. All therapy and treatment other than those outlined are permitted during the study
  • The patient has a significant chronic respiratory disorder other than asthma, e.g. COPD (fixed obstruction, post-bronchodilator) cystic fibrosis, severe and untreated bronchiectasis or interstitial lung disease
  • The patient has a significant medical condition that would make it unlikely for the patient to complete the study
  • The patient has a known significant risk factor for cough or wheeze, including but not limited to: taking an ACE inhibitor, severe untreated rhinitis, or significant gastroesophageal reflux disease
  • The patient is asymptomatic (ACQ \< 1) after the initial 2-week assessment
  • The patient has had a respiratory tract infection as judged clinically, within four weeks prior to visit 1, or displays an acute respiratory tract infection at the time of the study
  • The patient is a pregnant woman or intends to get pregnant (Any woman becoming pregnant during the study will be withdrawn from the study)
