Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study Evaluating the 24-Hour Pulmonary Function Profile of Fluticasone Furoate (FF) /GW642444 (Vilanterol) (VI) Inhalation Powder 100/25mcg Once Daily Compared With Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol Inhalation Powder 250/50mcg Twice Daily in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (NCT NCT01323621)

NCT ID: NCT01323621

Last Updated: 2018-02-15

Results Overview

Pulmonary function was measured by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. The weighted mean was calculated from the pre-dose FEV1 and the post-dose FEV1 measurements at 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes (min) and 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours post-dose on Treatment Day 84. Baseline trough FEV1 was calculated as the mean of the two assessments made 30 and 5 minutes pre-dose on Treatment Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the average of the Day 84 values minus the Baseline value. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was conducted with covariates for country, smoking status, reversibility, and Baseline FEV1.

Participant Flow

At Visit 1, eligible participants entered a 2-week, single blind (placebo) Run-In Period to obtain Baseline assessments of albuterol (salbutamol) use and to evaluate adherence with study treatment and procedures, diary card completion, and assessment of disease stability. At Visit 2, participants were randomized to a 12-week Treatment Period.

Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Placebo + Salbutamol
Participants were instructed to take single-blind placebo (ACCUHALER/DISKUS and Novel Dry Powder Inhaler \[NDPI\]): one inhalation each morning from each device, and one inhalation from the ACCUHALER/DISKUS in the evening. In addition, all participants received supplemental albuterol (salbutamol) (metered dose inhaler \[MDI\] and/or nebules) to be used on an as-needed basis. Ipratropium bromide alone was permitted, provided that the participant was on a stable dose from Visit 1 (Screening) and remained on the stable dose throughout the study; however, Ipratropium must have been withheld for 4 hours prior to and during each clinic visit.
FSC 250/50 µg BID
Participants received a Fluticasone Propionate and Salmeterol (FSC) 250/50 microgram (µg) inhalation (available as a combination dry inhalation powder of Fluticasone 250 µg and Salmeterol 50 µg in a single strip) twice daily (BID) (morning and evening) from the ACCUHALER/DISKUS and placebo once daily (QD) in the morning from the NDPI over the course of 12 weeks.
FF/VI 100/25 µg QD
Participants received a Fluticasone Furoate /Vilanterol (FF/VI) 100/25 µg inhalation (available as a dry inhalation powder in two separate strips of FF 100 µg and VI 25 µg) QD in the morning from the NDPI and placebo BID (morning and evening) from the ACCUHALER/DISKUS over the course of 12 weeks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1) and Day 84

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all participants randomized to treatment who received at least one dose of study drug. Only those participants available at the indicated time points were assessed.

Pulmonary function was measured by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. The weighted mean was calculated from the pre-dose FEV1 and the post-dose FEV1 measurements at 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes (min) and 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours post-dose on Treatment Day 84. Baseline trough FEV1 was calculated as the mean of the two assessments made 30 and 5 minutes pre-dose on Treatment Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the average of the Day 84 values minus the Baseline value. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was conducted with covariates for country, smoking status, reversibility, and Baseline FEV1.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Day 1

Population: ITT Population

Time to onset on Treatment Day 1 is defined as the time to an increase of 100 milliliters (mL) from Baseline in FEV1. Time to onset was calculated over 0 to 4 hours (5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 120 min, and 240 min) post-dose.
