Tiotropium / Respimat One Year Study in COPD.

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive
Interventions
Device: Respimat
Registration Number
NCT00387088
Lead Sponsor

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Day 337Baseline and Day 337

Trough FEV1 is defined as the FEV1 measured at the -10 min time point at the end of the dosing interval (24 h post drug administration).

Time to First Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) ExacerbationDuring actual study treatment period (planned Day 1 to Day 337)

Time to first COPD exacerbation (defined as a complex of respiratory events/symptoms (increase or new onset) with a duration of 3 days or more requiring a change in treatment). Time is days from start of study treatment to onset of exacerbation.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Day 29Baseline and Day 29

Trough FEV1 is the mean volume of air that can be forced out in one second after taking a deep breath approximately 24 hours after the last administration of study drug.

Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Day 169Baseline and Day 169

Trough FEV1 is the mean volume of air that can be forced out in one second after taking a deep breath approximately 24 hours after the last administration of study drug.

Number of COPD Exacerbations Per Patient - Exposure AdjustedDuring actual study treatment period (planned Day 1 to Day 337)

Number of COPD exacerbations (defined as a complex of respiratory events/symptoms (increase or new onset) with a duration of 3 days or more requiring a change in treatment) per patient adjusted by length of treatment exposure (i.e. number of exacerbations multiplied by 365.25 and then divided by days of treatment exposure)

Number of COPD Exacerbations Per Patient - naïve EstimateDuring actual study treatment period (planned Day 1 to Day 337)

Number of COPD exacerbations (defined as a complex of respiratory events/symptoms (increase or new onset) with a duration of 3 days or more requiring a change in treatment) per patient not adjusted for treatment exposure (i.e. naïve estimate)

Number of Patients With at Least One COPD ExacerbationDuring actual study treatment period (planned Day 1 to Day 337)

Number of patients with at least one COPD exacerbation (defined as a complex of respiratory events/symptoms (increase or new onset) with a duration of 3 days or more requiring a change in treatment)

Time to First Hospitalisation for COPD ExacerbationDuring actual study treatment period (planned Day 1 to Day 337)

Time to first hospitalisation for COPD exacerbation (a complex of respiratory events/symptoms (increase or new onset) with a duration of 3 days or more requiring a change in treatment). Time is days from start of study treatment to onset of exacerbation

Number of Hospitalisations for COPD Exacerbations Per Patient - Exposure AdjustedDuring actual study treatment period (planned Day 1 to Day 337)

Number of hospitalisations for COPD exacerbations (a complex of respiratory events/symptoms (increase or new onset) with a duration of 3 days or more requiring a change in treatment) per patient adjusted by length of treatment exposure (i.e. no. of exacerbations multiplied by 365.25 and then divided by days of treatment exposure)

Number of Hospitalisations for COPD Exacerbations Per Patient - naïve EstimateDuring actual study treatment period (planned Day 1 to Day 337)

Number of hospitalisations for COPD exacerbations (a complex of respiratory events/symptoms (increase or new onset) with a duration of 3 days or more requiring a change in treatment) per patient not adjusted for treatment exposure (i.e. naïve estimate)

Number of Patients With at Least One Hospitalisation for a COPD ExacerbationDuring actual study treatment period (planned Day 1 to Day 337)

Number of patients with at least one hospitalisation for a COPD exacerbation (a complex of respiratory events/symptoms (increase or new onset) with a duration of 3 days or more requiring a change in treatment)

Change From Baseline in Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score at Day 337Baseline and Day 337

The SGRQ total score measures quality of life on a continuous scale ranging from 0=best state to 100=worst state

Change From Baseline in Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score at Day 169Baseline and Day 169

Trough FVC is the mean maximum volume of air that can be forcibly expired from the lungs; measured approximately 24 hours after the last administration of study drug.

Marked Changes From Baseline in Vital Signs at End of TreatmentBaseline and end of treatment

Marked changes from baseline in vital signs (diastolic and systolic blood pressure (DBP and SBP) and pulse rate (PR)) at end of treatment.

SBP - Increase means SBP \>150 mmHg and an increase above baseline of \>25 mmHg. SBP - Decrease means SBP \<100 mmHg and a decrease below baseline of \>10 mmHg.

DBP - Increase means DBP \>90 mmHg and an increase above baseline of \>10 mmHg. DBP - Decrease means DBP \<60 mmHg and a decrease below baseline of \>10 mmHg.

PR - Increase means PR \>100 bpm and an increase above baseline of \>10 bpm. PR - Decrease means PR \<60 bpm and a decrease below baseline of \>10 bpm.
