简要总结
This is a Phase IV multi-center, randomized, open-label, cross-over, placebo study in subjects with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to compare inhaler-specific preference attributes of two inhalers - ELLIPTA dry powder inhaler (DPI) and the HANDIHALER DPI. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether more subjects with COPD prefer the ELLIPTA inhaler to the HANDIHALER DPI based on the number of steps needed to take medication.
All subjects will use the ELLIPTA inhaler and the HANDIHALER inhaler in the corresponding treatment periods based on the randomisation scheme, and at the end of 2 periods, complete the inhaler preference questionnaire. Subjects will self-administer the inhalation once daily for 5-9 days in each treatment period.
This study will be placebo-only, and neither inhaler will contain active treatment. Subjects will continue their current COPD medication(s) as prescribed, and will follow up with their regular physician for their COPD healthcare during the study.
Approximately 211 subjects will be enrolled in the study.

- •Currently receiving maintenance therapy with one or more long-acting bronchodilators, such as a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA; also known as a long-acting anti-cholinergic), long-acting beta 2-agonist (LABA), or inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/LABA combination for the treatment of COPD. Subjects must be able to continue using their currently prescribed COPD maintenance inhaler therapy throughout the study and as needed short acting beta-adrenergic agonist (SABA) or short acting muscarinic antagonist (SAMA) for rescue use.

- •Females who are not pregnant or not planning a pregnancy during the study or not lactating.
- •Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions defined for this study.
- •Subject understands and is willing, able, and likely to comply with study procedures and restrictions.
- •Subject must be able to read, comprehend, and record information in English.
排除标准
- •Asthma: Subjects with a current diagnosis of asthma. Subjects with a prior history of asthma are eligible if they have a current diagnosis of COPD.

Significant is defined as any disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the safety of the subject at risk through participation, or which would affect the analysis if the disease/condition exacerbated during the study.
- •Subjects with a history of psychiatric disease, intellectual deficiency, poor motivation or other conditions that will limit the validity of informed consent to participate in the study.

主要结局
Percentage of Participants Preferring the Inhaler Based on the Number of Steps Needed to Take the COPD Medication
时间窗: Up to 18 days
Preference between ELLIPTA inhaler and Handihaler based on the number of steps needed to take the medication was assessed by the inhaler preference questionnaire at Visit 3 or Early Withdrawal (EW) visit. The responses were analyzed using a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test, adjusted for study inhaler use sequence and preference questionnaire version. The analysis was performed on the Modified Intent-to-treat (ITT) Population comprised of all participants in the ITT Population (comprised all randomized participants who received 1 dose of at least 1 study inhaler) who completed at least one question from the 5 preference questions.
