Trial Outcomes & Findings for QVA vs. Salmeterol/Fluticasone, 52-week Exacerbation Study, FLAME (EFfect of Indacaterol Glycopyronium Vs Fluticasone Salmeterol on COPD Exacerbations) (NCT NCT01782326)

NCT ID: NCT01782326

Last Updated: 2016-05-16

Results Overview

COPD exacerbations starting between first dose and one day after last treatment are included. COPD exacerbations that occurred within 7 days of each other are collapsed as one event. Estimates are from a generalized linear model assuming a negative binomial distribution with terms for treatment, baseline total symptom score, baseline COPD exacerbation history (i.e. number of COPD exacerbations during the past 12 months prior to study), smoking status at screening, ICS use at screening, airflow limitation severity, and region. As the offset variable log(exposure time in years) was used.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 52 weeks

Population: The per-protocol set (PPS) included all patients in the FAS without any major protocol deviations. Only PPS patients with non-missing values for all terms in negative binomial model are included.

COPD exacerbations starting between first dose and one day after last treatment are included. COPD exacerbations that occurred within 7 days of each other are collapsed as one event. Estimates are from a generalized linear model assuming a negative binomial distribution with terms for treatment, baseline total symptom score, baseline COPD exacerbation history (i.e. number of COPD exacerbations during the past 12 months prior to study), smoking status at screening, ICS use at screening, airflow limitation severity, and region.

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study drug and had no major GCP violations. Only FAS patients with non-missing values for all terms in negative binomial model are included.

COPD exacerbations starting between date of first dose and one day after last treatment are included. COPD exacerbations that occurred within 7 days of each other are collapsed as one event with the worst severity. A COPD exacerbation of moderate severity meets the symptoms definition in the protocol and requires treatment with systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics. A severe COPD exacerbation requires hospitalization. Estimates are from a generalized linear model assuming a negative binomial distribution with terms for treatment, baseline total symptom score, baseline COPD exacerbation history (i.e. number of COPD exacerbations during the past 12 months prior to study), smoking status at screening, ICS use at screening, airflow limitation severity, and region.

COPD exacerbations starting between date of first dose and one day after last treatment are included. COPD exacerbations that occurred within 7 days of each other are collapsed as one event with the worst severity.

The St. George Respiratory Questionnaire C (SGRQ-C) is a disease-specific measure of health status for use in COPD that was used to provide the health status measurements in this study. A mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM), used for this analysis, included terms of treatment, baseline SGRQ-C total score, smoking status at baseline, baseline inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) use, airflow limitation severity, visit, treatment\*visit Interaction, baseline SGRQ-C total score\*visit + region. lowest possible value is zero and the highest 100. Higher values correspond to greater impairment of health status. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

The St. George Respiratory Questionnaire C (SGRQ-C) is a disease-specific measure of health status for use in COPD that was used to provide the health status measurements in this study. A mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM), used for this analysis, included terms of treatment, baseline SGRQ-C total score, smoking status at baseline, baseline inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) use, airflow limitation severity, visit, treatment\*visit Interaction, baseline SGRQ-C total score\*visit + region. lowest possible value is zero and the highest 100. Higher values correspond to greater impairment of health status. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
