Trial Outcomes & Findings for Advair HFA For Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD) (NCT NCT00633217)

NCT ID: NCT00633217

Last Updated: 2016-12-08

Results Overview

The primary efficacy analysis was mean change from baseline in 2-hour post-dose FEV1 compared between the two treatment groups at Endpoint. Change from baseline was calculated as the value at Endpoint minus the baseline value. FEV1, which is assessed using spirometry, is the maximal amount of air you can forcefully exhale in one second. Endpoint was defined as the last scheduled observation for 2 hour post-dose FEV1 during the 12-week treatment period.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 hours after administration of blinded study drug; Baseline through Week 12

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all participants who had been randomized to study drug. The numbers analyzed do not match Baseline numbers due to missing data for some participants.

The primary efficacy analysis was mean change from baseline in 2-hour post-dose FEV1 compared between the two treatment groups at Endpoint. Change from baseline was calculated as the value at Endpoint minus the baseline value. FEV1, which is assessed using spirometry, is the maximal amount of air you can forcefully exhale in one second. Endpoint was defined as the last scheduled observation for 2 hour post-dose FEV1 during the 12-week treatment period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Measurement of FEV1 prior to study drug administration; Baseline through Week 12

Population: ITT Population. The numbers analyzed do not match Baseline numbers due to missing data for some participants.

Change from baseline was calculated as the value at Endpoint minus the baseline value. AM pre-dose FEV1, which is assessed using spirometry, is the maximum amount of air you can forcefully exhale in one second prior to taking the morning dose of study drug. Endpoint was defined as the last scheduled observation for AM pre-dose FEV1 during the 12-week treatment period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline through Week 12

Population: ITT Population. Some participants did not have measured values for peak expiratory flow and were thus not included in the analysis.

The peak expiratory flow is a measure of the amount of air that can be pushed through the airways in a single rapid exhalation. This is measured by a peak flow meter which is a hand held device. Change from baseline was calculated as the average value over Weeks 1-12 minus the baseline value.
