Phase 3

Completed

Conditions: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Interventions: Drug: GP MDI (PT001)
Drug: FF MDI (PT005)
Drug: Open-label tiotropium bromide inhalation (Spiriva® Handihaler®)

Registration Number: NCT01970878

Lead Sponsor: Pearl Therapeutics, Inc.

Brief Summary: This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, chronic dosing, active-controlled, 28-week safety extension study of the two pivotal 24-week safety and efficacy studies (Studies PT003006 and PT003007). This study is designed to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of Glycopyrrolate (GP) and Formoterol Fumarate (FF) combination (GFF) metered dose inhaler (MDI), GP MDI, and FF MDI in subjects with moderate to very severe COPD over a total observation period of 52 weeks. Open-label Spiriva is included as an active control. To be eligible for this study, a subject must complete participation in Study PT003006 (NCT01854645) or Study PT003007 (NCT01854658).

Key

Exclusion Criteria

Significant diseases other than COPD, i.e. disease or condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, may put the patient at risk because of participation in the study or may influence either the results of the study or the subject's ability to participate in the study
Current diagnosis of asthma or alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
Other active pulmonary disease such as active tuberculosis, lung cancer, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, idiopathic interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, primary pulmonary hypertension, or uncontrolled sleep apnea
Hospitalized due to poorly controlled COPD within 3 months prior to screening or during the Screening Period
Poorly controlled COPD, defined as acute worsening of COPD that requires treatment with oral corticosteroids or antibiotics within 6 weeks prior to screening or during the Screening Period
Lower respiratory tract infections that required antibiotics within 6 weeks prior to screening or during the Screening Period
Unstable ischemic heart disease, left ventricular failure, or documented myocardial infarction within 12 months of enrollment.
Recent history of acute coronary syndrome, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft within the past three months
Congestive heart failure (CHF) New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III/IV)
Clinically significant abnormal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)
Abnormal liver function tests defined as alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminanse (AST), or total bilirubin ≥ 1.5 times upper limit of normal at Visit 1 and on repeat testing
Cancer not in complete remission for at least five years
History of hypersensitivity to β2-agonists, glycopyrronium or other muscarinic anticholinergics, lactose/milk protein or any component of the MDI

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change From Baseline in Morning -Pre-dose Trough FEV1 Over 52 Weeks	Baseline and Weeks 2 to 52	Change From Baseline in Morning Pre-Dose Trough FEV1 Over 52 Weeks as a Model-Based Average (ITT Population). FEV1 was assessed at multiple time points post-baseline, and a model-based average of all visits starting from Week 2 through week 52 inclusive was calculated. The change values reported in the table represent the change between the baseline and the average FEV1 post-baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Self-Administered Computerized (SAC) TDI Focal Score Over 52 Weeks	Baseline and Weeks 4 to 52	SAC TDI focal score over 52 Weeks as a Model-Based Average (ITT Population) The TDI is an instrument which measures the changes in the participant's dyspnea from Baseline. The scores in the TDI evaluate ratings for 3 different categories (functional impairment, magnitude of task in exertional capacity, and magnitude of effort). TDI scores ranged from -3 (major deterioration) to +3 (major improvement); total score = -9 to 9.
Change From Baseline in SGRQ Total Score	Baseline and Weeks 12 to 52	The SGRQ is a disease-specific questionnaire, self-completed by participants, used to evaluate the effect of GFF MDI, FF MDI and GP MDI on health-related quality of life as compared to placebo in subjects with COPD. The scores range from 0 (best possible health status) to 100 (worst possible health status). The SGRQ contains 76 items grouped into three domains (symptoms, activity and impacts). Change from Baseline in total score of -4 units or lower is considered as clinically meaningful improvement in quality of life. SGRQ Total Score was assessed at multiple visits post-baseline, and a model-based average of all visits starting from Week 12 through week 52 inclusive was calculated. The change values reported in the table represent the change between the baseline and the average SGRQ Total Score post-baseline.
Peak Change From Baseline in FEV1 Within 2 Hrs Post-dosing	Baseline and Weeks 2 to 52	Peak change from Baseline FEV1 Over 52 Weeks is a Model-Based Average (ITT Population). Peak FEV1 was assessed at multiple visits post-baseline, and a model-based average of all visits starting from Week 2 through week 52 inclusive was calculated. The change values reported in the table represent the change between the baseline and the average Peak FEV1 post-baseline.
Change From Baseline in Average Daily Rescue Ventolin Use	Baseline through Week 52	Subjects recorded in their diary the number of puffs of rescue Ventolin HFA taken on each study day. The subject's average daily number of puffs of rescue Ventolin HFA was calculated over the entire 52-week treatment period. Missing values were ignored in both the numerator and denominator. Diary data recorded during the last 7 days of the 10-14 day screening period were used to calculate the baseline average. Change in rescue Ventolin HFA use was calculated by subtracting the baseline average from the 52-week average.
