Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Trough Morning Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Day 85
Baseline and Day 85 of each treatment period

Pulmonary function was measured by FEV1, defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. The trough FEV1 is defined as morning prebronchodilator and predose (12 hours after the last evening dose Day 84). Trough FEV1 was measured electronically by spirometer in the morning, before using the bronchodilator and predose, at Week 12 (Day 85) of each Treatment Period. Baseline was defined as the value obtained predose (0 minutes) on day 1 in each treatment period. Change from Baseline within each period was calculated as trough FEV1 at Day 85 minus the period specific Baseline value. The change from Baseline in trough FEV1 was analyzed using mixed model for repeated measures analysis, having fixed effect participant level Baseline, adjusted period-specific Baseline, treatment group, period, visit, visit by treatment, visit by participant level Baseline, visit by adjusted period-specific Baseline, with participant as random effect.

Frequently asked questions about FSC

What is FSC used for?

FSC is an investigational combination therapy being studied for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is a small molecule respiratory drug developed by GSK plc.

What does FSC target?

FSC is a combination of fluticasone propionate and salmeterol. Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, while salmeterol is a long-acting beta-agonist that relaxes airway muscles. Together they target both inflammation and bronchoconstriction in respiratory diseases.

Who makes FSC?

FSC is being developed by GSK plc, a global pharmaceutical company listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker GSK.

What phase is FSC in?

FSC is in Phase 3 clinical development. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed, one in asthma and one in COPD. It is not yet approved and remains an investigational drug.

What clinical trials is FSC in?

FSC has completed two Phase 3 trials. NCT01978119 evaluated FSC 250/50 mcg twice daily in 124 adults and adolescents with asthma. NCT01978145 evaluated FSC 250/50 mcg twice daily in 665 adults with COPD. Both trials were randomized, double-blind, and controlled.
