Trial Outcomes & Findings for BENEFITS OF ACLIDINIUM BROMIDE IN THE RELIEF OF COPD SYMPTOMS INCLUDING COUGH (NCT NCT02375724)

NCT ID: NCT02375724

Last Updated: 2017-04-21

Results Overview

The EXACT-Respiratory Symptoms (E-RS) questionnaire was completed every evening The E-RS scale is an instrument comprising a subset of EXACT items to test the effect of treatment on the severity of respiratory symptoms in stable COPD Eleven of the 14-items of the EXACT questionnaire provides information about COPD symptoms: The E-RS Total Score is an aggregate of three domains: chest symptoms (derived sum of 3 items), cough and sputum (derived sum of 3 items) and RS-breathlessness (derived sum of 4 items); Individual scores were rated from 0 to 4 The E-RS Total score is based on a logit scoring system with conversion to a 0 (lowest score) to 100 scale (highest score) with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms

Participant Flow

Patients were randomized in 30 study sites in 5 countries Germany (10 sites), Hungary (6), Italy (2), Spain (9) and the United Kingdom (3) First patient was enrolled in March 2015 and last patient last visit was in November 2015

300 patients were screened; 269 were assessed as eligible and were randomized into the study Thirty-one patients failed screening, with the main reason for screening failure being non-fulfilment of the inclusion or exclusion criteria (24 patients)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 8

Population: Intent to treat (ITT) population defined as all randomized patients who took at least one dose of investigational medicinal product E-RS data were available for 131/135 patients receiving aclidinium and 133/134 receiving placebo

The EXACT-Respiratory Symptoms (E-RS) questionnaire was completed every evening The E-RS scale is an instrument comprising a subset of EXACT items to test the effect of treatment on the severity of respiratory symptoms in stable COPD Eleven of the 14-items of the EXACT questionnaire provides information about COPD symptoms: The E-RS Total Score is an aggregate of three domains: chest symptoms (derived sum of 3 items), cough and sputum (derived sum of 3 items) and RS-breathlessness (derived sum of 4 items); Individual scores were rated from 0 to 4 The E-RS Total score is based on a logit scoring system with conversion to a 0 (lowest score) to 100 scale (highest score) with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 8

Population: Intent to treat (ITT) population defined as all randomized patients who took at least one dose of investigational medicinal product E-RS data were available for 131/135 patients receiving aclidinium and 133/134 receiving placebo

The scale range of the 'cough and sputum' domain of the E-RS was 0-11, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 8

Population: Intent to treat (ITT) population defined as all randomized patients who took at least one dose of investigational medicinal product LCQ data were available for 126/135 patients receiving aclidinium and 128/134 receiving placebo

The LCQ is a self-administered questionnaire that assesses cough related quality of life The LCQ comprises 19 items and 3 domains (physical, psychological and social) The total score ranges from 3 to 21 and each domain scores range from 1 to 7; a higher score indicates a better quality of life
