Comparison of Tiotropium and Ipratropium in a Double-Blind, Double-dummy, Efficacy and Safety Study in Adults With COPD

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive
Registration Number
NCT00274040
Lead Sponsor
Boehringer Ingelheim
Brief Summary

Comparison of 18 mcg of Tiotropium Inhalation Capsules and ipratropiumMetered Dose Inhaler (2 puffs of 20 mcg, four times daily) in a Double-Blind, Double-dummy, Efficacy and Safety Study in Adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

The objective of this study is to compare the bronchodilator efficacy and safety of tiotropium inhalation capsules (18 mcg once daily) and ipratropium MDI (2 puffs of 20 mcg q.i.d.) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Detailed Description

This is a 2-treatment, randomized, double-blind, parallel design trial in adult patient with COPD.

Each dose of tiotropium or placebo will consist of one capsule self administered from the HandiHaler device once daily during the treatment period (tiotropium or placebo). Each dose will be taken at the same time each morning between 08:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.

Each dose of ipratropium MDI or placebo MDI will consist of 2 puffs; patients will inhale 2 puffs four times daily. The first dose will be taken at the same time each morning between 08:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.; subsequent doses will be taken at lunch, at dinner and when going to bed.

Study Hypothesis:

The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in mean response between tiotropium and ipratropium.

The alternative hypothesis is that there is a difference in mean response between tiotropium and ipratropium.

Comparison(s):

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group trial to compare the bronchodilator efficacy and safety of Tiotropium (18 mcg once a day) and ipratropium Metered Dose Inhaler (2 puffs of 18 mcg four times a day).
