Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Peak Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Within 4 Hours Post-dose Following 1 Week of Treatment
baseline and 4 hours post dose after 1 week of treatment

Peak change from baseline in FEV1 within 4 hours post-dose was defined as the maximum of the FEV1 assessments within 4 hours post-dosing at each visit minus baseline, provided that there were at least 2 non-missing values during the first 4 hours post dose.

Secondary Endpoints

Area Under the Curve for Change From Baseline in FEV1 From Area Under the Curve 0 to 4 Hours (AUC0-4 h) Following 1 Week of Treatment
baseline and 4 hours post dose after 1 week of treatment
Change From Baseline in Pre-dose FEV1 Following 1 Week of Treatment
baseline and after 1 week of treatment
Change From Baseline in 2-hour Post-dose Inspiratory Capacity (IC) Following 1 Week of Treatment
baseline and 2 hours post dose after 1 week of treatment

Frequently asked questions about BFF

What is BFF used for in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)?

BFF is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is a dual combination product containing budesonide and formoterol, delivered via an inhaler. BFF is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

What does BFF target?

BFF is a combination of two active ingredients: budesonide, a corticosteroid, and formoterol, a long-acting beta-agonist. These components work together to reduce inflammation and relax airway muscles, helping to improve breathing in patients with COPD. The specific molecular targets are the glucocorticoid receptor for budesonide and the beta-2 adrenergic receptor for formoterol.

Who makes BFF?

BFF is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a multinational pharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol AZN. AstraZeneca is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BFF in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

What phase is BFF in?

BFF is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet received regulatory approval and is still undergoing clinical trials to assess its safety and effectiveness.

What clinical trials is BFF in?

BFF has one completed Phase 3 clinical trial registered under NCT04078126. This study compared the dual combination of budesonide and formoterol delivered via two different inhalers to determine which one results in the best effect on breathing. The trial enrolled 35 participants with COPD in Germany and was active-controlled.

Is BFF the same as a budesonide and formoterol combination?

Yes, BFF is a dual combination product containing budesonide and formoterol, two active pharmaceutical ingredients commonly used together for respiratory conditions. The drug is administered via an inhaler and is being studied specifically for the treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
