Assessment of Physical Functioning and Handling of Spiolto® Respimat® in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Requiring Long-acting Dual Bronchodilation in Routine Clinical Practice
- Registration Number
- NCT02675517
- Lead Sponsor
- Boehringer Ingelheim
- Brief Summary
The primary objective of the study is to measure changes in physical functioning - serving as a surrogate for physical activity and exercise capacity - in COPD patients being treated with Spiolto® Respimat® after approximately 6 weeks. A secondary objective is to evaluate the patient¿s general condition (physician¿s evaluation) at visit 1 (baseline visit at the start of the study) and at visit 2 (final visit at the end of the study, approx. 6 weeks after visit 1), as well as patient satisfaction with Spiolto® Respimat® at visit 2.

Group Intervention Description Spiolto Respimat Spiolto Respimat COPD patients requiring a fixed combination therapy of two long-acting bronchodilators (LAMA + LABA) according to approved Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) and Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD)guidelines
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Patients With Therapeutic Success at Week 6 (Approx.) (Visit 2). after approximately 6 weeks Therapeutic success defined as a minimum 10-point increase of Physical functioning questionnaire (PF-10 ) score after approximately 6 weeks of Spiolto® Respimat® treatment The PF-10 used for assessing the primary outcome "physical functioning" is a sub-domain of the validated Short Form 36 (SF-36) quality of life questionnaire and consists of 10 questions evaluating the extent of experienced restrictions while conducting usual activities. The total score ranges from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a better physical functioning.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Patient Satisfaction With Inhaling From the Respimat® Device at Week 6 (Approx.) (Visit 2). Week 6 (approx.) (Visit 2) At Week 6 (approx.) (Visit 2) patients were asked how satisfied they were by inhaling with the Respimat® device.
Changes in the PF-10 Score From Visit 1 to Visit 2 baseline and approx. week 6 Change in PF-10 score was determined by taking into account the individual change of each patient between Baseline (Visit 1) and Week 6 (approx.) (Visit 2).
General Condition of the Patient, Evaluated by the Physician (PGE Score) at Visit 1 and Visit 2. Baseline (Visit 1) and Week 6 (approx.) (Visit 2) Physician's Global Evaluation (PGE) score documented by physicians at visit 1 (baseline) and at visit 2 (approx. 6 weeks later). the PGE score documented from 1 to 8. The highest value (=8) representing an excellent general condition
Patient Satisfaction With Handling of the Respimat® Inhalation Device at Week 6 (Approx.) (Visit 2). Week 6 (approx.) (Visit 2) At Week 6 (approx.) (Visit 2) patients were asked how satisfied they were with handling of the Respimat® inhalation device
Patient Overall Satisfaction With Spiolto® Respimat® at Week 6 (Approx.) (Visit 2). Week 6 (approx.) (Visit 2) At Week 6 (approx.) (Visit 2) patients were asked how overall satisfied they were with the Spiolto® Respimat® treatment.
