Trial Outcomes & Findings for Inhaled Corticosteroid Withdrawal in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (NCT NCT00975195)

NCT ID: NCT00975195

Last Updated: 2015-02-10

Results Overview

A Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbation was defined as an increase or new onset of ≥2 lower respiratory symptoms related to COPD, with ≥1 symptom lasting ≥3 days, requiring a change in treatment. Lower respiratory symptoms included shortness of breath, sputum production (volume), sputum purulence, cough, wheezing and chest tightness. A change in treatment included: hospitalisation/treatment in an urgent care unit, prescription of antibiotics and/or systemic steroids or a significant change of prescribed respiratory medication such as theophyllines, long-acting beta-agonists or inhaled corticosteroids. Exacerbations were considered severe if the patient was held and treated for an acute respiratory condition in an urgent care department or an observation unit for \>6 hours, the patient was treated at home by a mobile urgent care team or the patient was admitted to hospital.The "measure type" displays the 25th percentile and its 95% confidence interval.

Timeframe: Baseline and week 18 and 52 visits

Population: Treated set

Change from baseline in on-treatment dyspnoea as measured by the Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) dyspnoea scale; change was calculated as week score minus baseline score. Negative changes from baseline indicate an improvement in health. Scale from 0 to 4: * 0 = not troubled by breathlessness, except during strenuous exercise * 1 = short of breath when hurrying or walking up a slight hill * 2 = walks slower than contemporaries on the same level because of breathlessness, or has to stop for breath when walking at own pace * 3 = stops for breath after approximately 100 yards, or after a few minutes on the level * 4 = too breathless to leave the house, or breathless when dressing or undressing "No breathlessness" was given a score of -1 Statistical analysis results are presented only for the week 52 visit as this is the primary timepoint of interest.

Timeframe: Baseline and week 27 and 52 visits

Population: Treated set

Change from baseline in on-treatment St Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) scores: Activity domain. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more limitations. Change was calculated as week score minus baseline score. Statistical analysis results are presented only for the week 52 visit as this is the primary timepoint of interest.

Timeframe: Baseline and week 27 and 52 visits

Population: Treated set

Change from baseline in on-treatment physician global evaluation. The evaluation reflected the physician's opinion of the patient's overall condition and was based on the need for concomitant medication, the number and severity of exacerbations, the severity of cough, the ability to exercise, the amount of wheezing and any other relevant clinical observations. Patients were graded on a scale of 1 (poor) to 8 (excellent). Change was calculated as week score minus baseline score. Statistical analysis results are presented only for the week 52 visit as this is the primary timepoint of interest.
