Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Umeclidinium (UMEC) as Combination Therapy in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (NCT NCT02257372)

NCT ID: NCT02257372

Last Updated: 2017-08-17

Results Overview

FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. Trough FEV1 on Day 85 is defined as the mean of the FEV1 values obtained 23 and 24 hours after dosing on Day 84 (Week 12). Trough FEV1 was measured using spirometry. BL FEV1 is the mean of the two assessments made 30 and 5 minutes (min) pre-dose on Day 1.Change from BL was calculated as the trough FEV1 value on Day 85 minus the BL value. Analysis was performed using mixed model repeated measures with covariates of treatment, BL FEV1 (mean of the values measured at 30 min and 5 min pre-dose on Day 1), type of ICS/LABA, smoking status, Day, Day by BL interaction and Day by treatment interaction, where Day is nominal.

Participant Flow

Participants had used one of the following inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)/long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) combinations for at least 30 days prior to Screening: Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol (FSC) 500/50 microgram (mcg) twice-daily (bid); budesonide/formoterol 200/6 mcg bid or 400/12 mcg bid; ICS/LABA combinations per study procedures manual.

Participants who met eligibility criteria at screening completed an approximately one week run-in period and participants who met the randomisation criteria were entered a 12-week treatment period. A total of 266 participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were screened; 236 participants randomized and entered into the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (BL) and Day 85

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT) population: all participants randomized to treatment who received at least one dose of randomized study medication in the treatment period. Only participants with data available at specific timepoint were analyzed.

FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. Trough FEV1 on Day 85 is defined as the mean of the FEV1 values obtained 23 and 24 hours after dosing on Day 84 (Week 12). Trough FEV1 was measured using spirometry. BL FEV1 is the mean of the two assessments made 30 and 5 minutes (min) pre-dose on Day 1.Change from BL was calculated as the trough FEV1 value on Day 85 minus the BL value. Analysis was performed using mixed model repeated measures with covariates of treatment, BL FEV1 (mean of the values measured at 30 min and 5 min pre-dose on Day 1), type of ICS/LABA, smoking status, Day, Day by BL interaction and Day by treatment interaction, where Day is nominal.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Day 84

Population: ITT population

FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. The weighted mean FEV1 was derived by calculating the area under the curve, and then dividing the value by the relevant time interval. The weighted mean was calculated by performing six-hour serial spirometry from the pre-dose FEV1 and post-dose FEV1 measurements at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours and 6 hours. Baseline FEV1 is the mean of the two assessments made 30 and 5 min pre-dose on Treatment Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as weighted mean value on Day 84 minus the Baseline value. Analysis was performed using mixed model repeated measures with covariates of treatment, baseline FEV1 (mean of the values measured at 30 min and 5 min pre-dose on Day 1), type of ICS/LABA , smoking status, Day, Day by baseline interaction and Day by treatment interaction, where Day is nominal.
