Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Exercise Endurance and Lung Hyperinflation in Patients With Moderate to Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (NCT NCT00500318)

NCT ID: NCT00500318

Last Updated: 2017-01-06

Results Overview

Exercise endurance time is defined as the time from the increase in work rate at 75% Wmax (watts) to the point of symptom limitation. The Wmax is defined as the highest work rate the patients were able to maintain for at least 30 seconds.

Participant Flow

Patient recruitment occurred from July to October of 2007 at 52 study sites (42 sites in the United States and 10 additional sites in Canada)

All demographic and baseline characteristics were analyzed descriptively just for the Safety population.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline Week 0 (Visit 4) to Week 6 (Visit 6)

Population: Missing data for patients who withdrew due to COPD exacerbations was imputed using the Worst Observation Carried Forward (WOCF) of all Endurance time (ET), while ETs that were missing for other reasons were imputed using the Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method based on the last visit available.

Exercise endurance time is defined as the time from the increase in work rate at 75% Wmax (watts) to the point of symptom limitation. The Wmax is defined as the highest work rate the patients were able to maintain for at least 30 seconds.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from baseline (Visit 4) at Week 6 (Visit 6)

Population: The Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population consisted of all patients in the Safety Population who had at least a baseline and one post-baseline assessment of the primary efficacy parameter. Missing values due to a premature discontinuation or patients who missed specific trial visits were imputed by Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF).

Change in trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second. FEV1 was assessed at the end of the daily dosing interval (Trough).
