- Brief Summary
Efficacy of Fluticasone/Formoterol in COPD Treatment. The Effect study.
- Detailed Description
This study is a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group study, in male and female subjects who will be assigned into 1 of 3 treatment groups based on 1:1:1 ratio. Following a 2 week run-in phase all subjects will receive treatment for 1 year (52 weeks) followed by a final follow up 2 weeks after their last visit, during this time subjects will be required to attend 10 clinic visits while the final follow up can be completed by telephone. Throughout the study subjects will be assessed on a mixture of symptom based measurements as well as lung function tests to monitor their progress in the study.

Group Intervention Description Flutiform 125/5 micrograms Flutiform Flutiform 125/5 µg (2 puffs twice daily) Flutiform 250/10 micrograms Flutiform Flutiform 250/10 µg (2 puffs twice daily) Formoterol 12 micrograms Formoterol Formoterol 12 µg 1 puff twice daily
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Annual rate of moderate and severe COPD exacerbations 52 weeks To show superiority in the efficacy of flutiform 250/10 µg (2 puffs BID) compared with formoterol 12 µg (1 puff BID) based on the annual rate of moderate and severe COPD exacerbations
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Annual rate of moderate and severe COPD exacerbations 52 Weeks To show superiority in the efficacy of flutiform 125/5 µg (2 puffs BID) compared with formoterol 12 µg (1 puff BID) based on the annual rate of moderate and severe COPD exacerbations. (Different dose to Primary Outcome)
Efficacy confirmed by lack of exacerbations, lung function and safety by collection of adverse events in all patients throughout the study. 52 Weeks To compare flutiform (at each dose) with formoterol 12 µg (1 puff BID) for the secondary efficacy, and safety endpoints.
