Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of MEDI-563 in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (NCT NCT01227278)

NCT ID: NCT01227278

Last Updated: 2016-10-05

Results Overview

An AECOPD is defined as worsening of two or more major symptoms or one major and one minor symptom for two or more consecutive days. Annualized Incidence Rate of Moderate or Severe AECOPD was assessed based on AECOPD data up to Day 393 (Rate = total number of moderate or severe AECOPD in each group/total person-year follow-up in each group). The severity of an exacerbation of COPD is defined as: a) Mild exacerbations, which require treatment with an increase in usual therapy, example (eg), increase use of short acting bronchodilators, b) Moderate exacerbations which require treatment with systemic corticosteroids, and or antibiotics and c) Severe exacerbations which require hospitalization.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 up to 561

Population: The safety population included all participants who received at least one dose of investigational drug.

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between administration of study drug and up to Day 561 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. TEAEs reported below included both SAEs and non-serious AEs.

The SGRQ is a health related quality of life questionnaire consisting of 40 items in three domains: symptoms (respiratory symptoms and severity), activity (activities that cause or are limited by breathlessness) and impacts (social functioning and psychological disturbances due to airway disease). Each question's response has a unique empirically derived weight where lowest possible weight is zero and the highest is 100. The total score and domain score are derived from the relevant items and converted to a score of 0 to 100 with a higher score indicating poorer health status.

The CRQ-SAS is a self-administered questionnaire which consist of 20 items across four domains: dyspnea (5 items), fatigue (4 items), emotional function (7 items), and mastery (4 items). Participants rated their experience on a 7-point scale in response to each item ranging from 1 (maximum impairment) to 7 (no impairment). Individual items were equally weighted, and domain scores were calculated as the mean of all items within each domain; domain score range: 1 (maximum impairment) to 7 (no impairment).

The BODE index is a multi-dimension COPD grading system that incorporates body-mass index (B), degree of airflow obstruction (O), dyspnea (D), and exercise capacity (E) as measured by the modified medical research council (MMRC) dyspnea scale and the 6-minute walk test. The MMRC dyspnea scale is a 5-point scale that measures the level of dyspnea (trouble breathing) experienced by participants where score range is 0 (none) to 4 (very severe ). BODE score is derived into a score range of 0 (healthy) to 10 (severe COPD).
