Assessment In a Real World Setting of the Effect of Inhaled Steroid-based Triple Therapy Versus the Combination of Tiotropium and Olodaterol on Reducing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbations [AIRWISE]

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive
Interventions
Drug: ICS (Inhaled Corticosteroid) (Triple therapy)
Drug: LABA (Long-Acting Beta Agonist) (Triple therapy)
Drug: LAMA (Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonist) (Triple therapy)
Registration Number
NCT03265145
Lead Sponsor
Boehringer Ingelheim
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this pragmatic study is to compare the time to first moderate or severe COPD exacerbation in patients, not controlled on their current therapy, randomized to Stiolto Respimat versus triple therapy over 12 months of treatment

The secondary objectives of this study include:

1. To compare the annual rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations for patients on Stiolto Respimat with patients on triple therapy.

2. To compare the time to first severe COPD exacerbation in both treatment arms.

3. To compare the annual rate of severe COPD exacerbations in both treatment arms.

4. To compare the proportion of patients with moderate or severe COPD exacerbations in both treatment arms.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to First Moderate or Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbation Over the 12 Month Study PeriodBaseline till end of study, up to 12 months.

Time to first moderate or severe chronic obstructive (COPD) exacerbation over 12 months of treatment pulmonary disease.

Moderate exacerbation was a patient receiving an exacerbation-related prescription such as oral corticosteroid (prednisone or prednisolone) and/or antibiotic, but not requiring hospitalization.

Severe exacerbation was a patient requiring hospitalization or emergency room visit due to COPD (ICD-9-491.21 or ICD-10-J44.1).

Median survival time as well as 95% confidence interval was calculated using Kaplan-Meier curves.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to First Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbation Over 12 Months of Treatment Pulmonary DiseaseBaseline till end of study, up to 12 months.

Time to first severe chronic obstructive (COPD) exacerbation over 12 months of treatment pulmonary disease.

Moderate exacerbation was a patient receiving an exacerbation-related prescription such as oral corticosteroid (prednisone or prednisolone) and/or antibiotic, but not requiring hospitalization.

Severe exacerbation was a patient requiring hospitalization or emergency room visit due to COPD (ICD-9-491.21 or ICD-10-J44.1).

Median survival time as well as 95% confidence interval was calculated using Kaplan-Meier curves.

Annual Rate of Moderate or Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) ExacerbationsBaseline till end of study, up to 12 months.

Annual rate of moderate or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations.

Moderate exacerbation was a patient receiving an exacerbation-related prescription such as oral corticosteroid (prednisone or prednisolone) and/or antibiotic, but not requiring hospitalization.

Severe exacerbation was a patient requiring hospitalization or emergency room visit due to COPD (ICD-9-491.21 or ICD-10-J44.1).

Annual rate analysis utilized a negative binomial model with fixed effect of treatment (Stiolto Respimat versus triple therapy), logarithm of observational time as offset, and baseline prior ICS was used as a covariate.

Annual Rate of Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) ExacerbationsBaseline till end of study, up to 12 months.

Annual rate of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations.

Severe exacerbation was a patient requiring hospitalization or emergency room visit due to COPD (ICD-9-491.21 or ICD-10-J44.1).

Annual rate analysis utilized a negative binomial model with fixed effect of treatment (Stiolto Respimat versus triple therapy), logarithm of observational time as offset, and baseline prior ICS was used as a covariate.

Number of Patients With Moderate or Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbations Over the 12 Month Observation Period12 months after baseline.

Number of patients with moderate or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations over the 12 month observation period.

Moderate exacerbation was a patient receiving an exacerbation-related prescription such as oral corticosteroid (prednisone or prednisolone) and/or antibiotic, but not requiring hospitalization.

Severe exacerbation was a patient requiring hospitalization or emergency room visit due to COPD (ICD-9-491.21 or ICD-10-J44.1).
