Table 5.

On-treatment analysis of rate of moderate-to-severe asthma exacerbations during the total treatment period

Treatment Annualized rate (95% CI) Comparison Rate ratio 95% CI
Overall population
 Fevipiprant 150 mg (n = 748) 0.4 (0.3, 0.4) Fevipiprant 150 mg/Placebo 0.58 (0.44, 0.77)
 Fevipiprant 450 mg (n = 744) 0.3 (0.3, 0.4) Fevipiprant 450 mg/Placebo 0.55 (0.41, 0.74)
Fevipiprant 450 mg/Fevipiprant 150 mg 0.95 (0.75, 1.20)
 Placebo (n = 245) 0.6 (0.5, 0.8)
Patients with blood eosinophil count ≥ 250 cells/μL
 Fevipiprant 150 mg (n = 457) 0.4 (0.3, 0.5) Fevipiprant 150 mg /Placebo 0.61 (0.43, 0.87)
 Fevipiprant 450 mg (n = 460) 0.4 (0.4, 0.5) Fevipiprant 450 mg/Placebo 0.64 (0.44, 0.92)
Fevipiprant 450 mg/Fevipiprant 150 mg 1.04 (0.78, 1.40)
 Placebo (n = 145) 0.7 (0.5, 0.9)

Negative binomial regression model: log (exacerbation rate) = randomization stratum

(fevipiprant 150 mg in LUSTER-1/LUSTER-2, fevipiprant 450 mg in LUSTER-1/LUSTER-2, Placebo in LUSTER-1/LUSTER-2, New patients) + treatment + severity of asthma (GINA steps 3, 4, and 5) + region + the natural logarithm of the number of asthma exacerbations in the 12 months prior to screening, and for overall population, plus blood eosinophil count at screening (≥ 250 cells/μL, < 250 cells/μL). For rollover patients, asthma exacerbation and blood eosinophil count recorded at screening of prior study are used. The log (duration of follow-up in years) is used as an off-set variable

A rate ratio < 1 favors treatment group in the numerator of the ratio
