研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether exercise can be prolonged in COPD can by the inhaled bronchodilator Stiolto Respimat. The study will identify whether any endurance benefit is due to reduction in fatigue that originates within the skeletal muscles and/or from effects on neural activation of the skeletal muscles.
详细描述
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have reduced exercise tolerance. One mechanism for this is thought to be due to dynamic hyperinflation during exercise (an increase in the end-expiratory lung volume) that contributes to the sensation of breathlessness. Whether this also contributes to inhibiting motor recruitment, and reduces the available power output (termed performance fatigue; PF), is not well understood. Preliminary data suggests that many COPD patients, unlike healthy subjects, stop exercise with a 'skeletal muscle power reserve' i.e. the ability to acutely increase muscle power output. This suggests that they are limited in the exercise task by mechanisms other than acute intramuscular limitations to power production (termed muscle fatigue; MF). Exercise tolerance is increased by treatment with the fixed-dose combination bronchodilator, STIOLTO™ RESPIMAT®. We hypothesize that increased exercise tolerance with STIOLTO™ RESPIMAT® (reduced performance fatigue; PF) will be mediated by a combination of: 1) reduced inhibition of muscle activation (termed activation fatigue; AF) allowing patients to drive their leg muscles harder, and thus; 2) increased muscle fatigue (MF).

- •Patients must be able to inhale medication in a competent manner from the inhalers used in the study.
排除标准
- •Patients with a significant disease other than COPD; a significant disease is defined as a disease which, in the opinion of the investigator, may (i) put the patient at risk because of participation in the study, (ii) influence the results of the study, or (iii) cause concern regarding the patient's ability to participate in the study.
- •Patients with a documented history of asthma. For patients with allergic rhinitis or atopy, medical records will be required to verify that the patient does not have asthma.
- •Patients with any of the following conditions:
- •A history of myocardial infarction within 1 year of screening visit.
- •Unstable or life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia.
- •Hospitalized for heart failure within the past year.
- •Known active tuberculosis.
- •A malignancy for which patient has undergone resection, radiation therapy or chemotherapy within last two years (patients with treated basal cell carcinoma are allowed).
- •A history of life-threatening pulmonary obstruction within the past two years.
- •A history of cystic fibrosis.
- •Clinically evident bronchiectasis.
- •A history of significant alcohol or drug abuse within the past two years.
- •Any contraindications for exercise testing as outlined below (see contraindications to exercise).
- •Patients who have undergone thoracotomy with pulmonary resection.
- •Patients being treated with oral corticosteroid medication at unstable doses (i.e., less than six weeks on a stable dose) or at doses in excess of the equivalent of 10 mg of prednisone per day or 20 mg every other day.
- •Patients who regularly use daytime oxygen therapy for more than one hour per day and in the investigator's opinion will be unable to abstain from the use of oxygen therapy during clinic visits.
- •Patients who desaturate to SpO2 <85% on screening incremental exercise testing.
- •Patients who have completed a pulmonary rehabilitation program in the six weeks prior to the screening visit or patients who are currently in a pulmonary rehabilitation program.
- •Patients who have a limitation of exercise performance as a result of factors other than fatigue or exertional dyspnea, such as arthritis in the leg, angina pectoris or claudication or morbid obesity.
- •Patients with a constant power cycle ergometry endurance time less than 4 or greater than 10 minutes after work rate adjustment procedures (described below).
- •Patients who have taken an investigational drug within one month or six half-lives (whichever is greater) prior to screening visit (Visit 1).
- •Pregnant or nursing women.
- •Women of childbearing who have the potential not to be using a highly effective method of birth control. Female patients will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless surgically sterilized by hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation, or post-menopausal for at least two years.
- •Patients who are currently participating in another interventional study.

结局指标
主要结局
The Magnitude of Change in Isokinetic Power (Performance Fatigue, PF) Associated With Stiolto Respimat Compared With Placebo Respimat at Isotime During Constant Work Rate Exercise (CWR)
时间窗: Baseline and day 7 of each treatment period
Constant work rate (CWR) exercise causes fatigue. Fatigue is measured by the difference between pre-CWR and post-CWR maximal voluntary isokinetic power i.e. how much maximal voluntary isokinetic power declines during CWR. The magnitude of fatigue is measured in watts at the time of the shortest exercise duration in either study arm, which is termed "isotime". A smaller value (in watts) of performance fatigue means that the intervention was associated with less fatigue after a given CWR exercise duration (i.e. at isotime).
