Bone Mineral Density Study In Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. DISKUS® Inhaler is a Trademark of the GSK Group of Companies.

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00355342
Lead Sponsor
GlaxoSmithKline
Brief Summary

This study will last up to 3 years. You will visit the clinic up to 14 times. Certain visits will include lung function tests and scans of your bones. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the steroid component of an inhaled product on bone mineral density in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Salmeterol 50 mcg BIDSalmeterol 50 mcg BIDParticipants randomized to this arm received salmeterol 50 microgram (mcg), formulated with lactose via the DISKUS™ inhaler one inhalation twice daily (BID) one inhalation in the morning and one inhalation in the evening for 156 Weeks. Each DISKUS contained 60 doses of study medication. Participant were provided with albuterol/salbutamol as relief medication. DISCUS is registered trademark product of GlaxoSmithKline.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the Lumbar Spine L1-L4Baseline and Week 26, 52, 78, 104, 130, and 156

BMD, a measure of bone density, reflecting the strength of bones as represented by calcium content. The BMD test detects osteopenia (mild bone loss) and osteoporosis (more severe bone loss, which may cause symptoms). BMD at the lumber spine (L1-L4) was measured via dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) (using DEXA equipment) scans at Baseline and every 26 weeks during the study. Acceptable DEXA measurements must be conducted prior to the first dose of randomized study medication. Baseline was defined as the collections taken on Day 1 of treatment period. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline value from indicated time point value.
