A Randomised, Double-blind, Parallel Group, Multicentre, Stratified, Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Once Daily Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol Inhalation Powder Compared to Once Daily Fluticasone Furoate Inhalation Powder in the Treatment of Asthma in Participants Aged 5 to 17 Years Old (Inclusive) Currently Uncontrolled on Inhaled Corticosteroids

The goal of asthma treatment is to achieve and maintain asthma control and to reduce the
future risk of exacerbations. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are considered as the most
effective anti- inflammatory treatment for all severities of persistent asthma. For children
>=5 years of age and adolescents whose asthma is uncontrolled, low-dose ICS plus adjunctive
therapy with long-acting beta agonist (LABA) is considered as effective. Thus, this study is
designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FF (ICS component)/VI (LABA component)
compared to FF alone for the treatment of asthma, in subjects aged 5 to 17 years old
currently uncontrolled on ICS. The study will be conducted over a total duration of
approximately 29 weeks: 4 week run-in period, 24-week double-blind treatment period and
1-week follow-up period. Subjects will be randomized to receive FDC of FF/VI or FF
administered via ELLIPTA® dry powder inhaler (DPI). The dose of both FF/VI and FF alone will
be selected based on the age of subjects. Subjects will receive a short acting beta 2 agonist
(SABA) (albuterol /salbutamol) as a rescue medication throughout the study. A total of 870
subjects will be randomized in the study. Of this, 652 subjects will be aged 5 to 11 years
(cohort A), and 218 will be aged 12 to 17 years inclusive (cohort B). ELLIPTA is a registered
trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) group of companies.


Inclusion Criteria:

- For all subjects: Between 5 and 17 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the
informed consent.

- A history of symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of asthma for at least 6 months.

- Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 >50 percent to <=90 percent predicted normal. A minimum of 2
efforts that are considered acceptable (not necessarily repeatable) are required to be
eligible.

- Lung function reversibility defined as an increase of >=12 percent in FEV1 within 10
to 40 minutes following 2 to 4 inhalations of salbutamol inhalation aerosol (or 1
nebulized treatment with albuterol/salbutamol solution). Use of a spacer is permitted.

- Uncontrolled asthma, with a childhood asthma control test (cACT)/ACT score <=19.

- Receiving stable asthma therapy (SABA inhaler plus ICS [total daily dose <=FP 250
micrograms (mcg) or equivalent]) for at least 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 (i.e.
screening).

- Able to replace their current SABA treatment with salbutamol aerosol inhaler at Visit
1 for use as needed for the duration of the study. Salbutamol metered dose inhaler
(MDI) will be administered with or without a spacer, to be used as determined by the
investigator. The use or non-use of the spacer should be consistent for an individual
subject throughout the study.

- Male or female subjects will be included. Females of reproductive potential must agree
to follow 1 of the options listed (which include abstinence) in the Modified List of
Highly Effective Methods for Avoiding Pregnancy in Females of Reproductive Potential
(FRP) from 30 days prior to the first dose of study medication and until at least five
terminal half-lives or until any continuing pharmacologic effect has ended, whichever
is longer after the last dose of study medication and completion of the follow-up
call. The investigator is responsible for ensuring that subjects understand how to
properly use these methods of contraception.

- Written informed consent from at least 1 parent/care giver (legal guardian) and
accompanying informed assent from the subject (where the subject is able to provide
assent) prior to admission to the study. If applicable, subject must be able and
willing to give assent to take part in the study according to the local requirement.
The study investigator is accountable for determining a child's capacity to assent to
participation in a research study, taking into consideration any standards set by the
responsible independent ethics committee (IEC); subject and their legal guardian(s)
understand that the study requires them to be treated on an outpatient basis; subject
and their legal guardian(s) understand that they must comply with study medication and
study assessments including recording of PEF and rescue SABA use, attending scheduled
study visits, and being accessible by a telephone call.

- For subjects eligible for randomization; asthma control: uncontrolled asthma, with a
cACT/ACT score <=19.

- A technically acceptable pre-bronchodilator FEV1 >50 percent to <=90 percent predicted
normal at Visit 2. A minimum of 2 efforts that are considered acceptable and
repeatable following the over read are required to be eligible.

- Symptoms and rescue use: demonstrated and reported in a daily diary symptoms of asthma
(a score of >=1 on the day-time or night-time asthma symptom scores) and/or daily
albuterol/salbutamol on at least 3 of the last 7 consecutive days of the run-in period
(not including the date of randomization).

- Compliance with run-in medication: compliance is defined as use of run-in medication
on at least 4 of the last 7 consecutive days of the run-in period (not including the
date of randomization) recorded in the electronic subject diary.

- Compliance with completion of the daily diary reporting: defined as completion of all
questions on 4 out of the last 7 days during the run-in period (not including the date
of randomization).

Exclusion Criteria:

- For all subjects: History of life threatening asthma defined as an asthma episode that
required intubation and/or was associated with hypercapnea, respiratory arrest or
hypoxic seizures.

- Any asthma exacerbation requiring the use of oral steroids within 6 weeks of Visit 1,
systemic or depot corticosteroids within 12 weeks of Visit 1, or ER attendance within
3 months of Visit 1 or hospitalization within 6 months of Visit 1.

- A culture documented or suspected bacterial or viral infection of the upper or lower
respiratory tract, sinus or middle ear that has not resolved within 4 weeks of Visit 1
and which led to a change in asthma management or, in the opinion of the investigator,
is expected to affect the subject's asthma status or the subject's ability to
participate in the study.

- Clinical visual evidence of oropharyngeal candidiasis.

- Fasting blood glucose at screening >100 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) (5.6 moles per
liter [mol/L]).
