Effect of Glycopyrronium on Morning Symptoms and Pulmonary Function in Patients With Moderate to Severe COPD

Registration Number
NCT01959516
Lead Sponsor
Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

This study purpose is to further study the profiles of glycopyrronium (NVA237) and tiotropium during the first hours after dosing and their impact on pulmonary function, COPD symptoms and ability to perform daily activities by the patient.

Detailed Description

Randomized, multicenter, blinded, two-period cross-over design. Each treatment will last 28 days. All patients will receive both treatments in a cross-over design, with a wash-out period of 14-19 days in between. The total duration of the study for each patient is approximately 70 days (from randomization) plus 30 days of safety follow-up.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) AUC0-4h After First Dose of Treatment.Day 1

Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) Area Under the Curve (AUC) will measured via spirometry and calculated from 0 to 4 hours post-dose on day 1 of study treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparison of Glycopyrronium QD Versus Tiotropium QD on Symptoms Outcomeday 1 (baseline) and week 4

Comparison of symptoms outcome between glycopyrronium QD versus tiotropium QD will be conducted via the PROMorning COPD Symptoms questionnaire. This questionnaire will be completed by participants at waking-up, pre-inhalation of study treatment (at home), and they will complete Part 2 of PRO-Morning COPD Symptoms questionnaire at site, 3hours post-inhalation of study treatment. The PRO-Morning COPD Symptoms Questionnaire is a self-administered patient reported outcome (PRO) instrument developed by the sponsor to evaluate patients' experience of early morning symptoms of COPD. The questionnaire consists of two parts : predose and postdose.

Each part has 6 questions and for each question a scale of 0 to 10 can be reached. For the predose and postdose part of the questionnaire you will have then each a total score of 0-60 by adding the sub-scores for each question, higher scores represent worse severity of COPD morning symptoms
