Trial Outcomes & Findings for Changes in Health and Functional Status in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease During Therapy With Spiolto® Respimat® (AERIAL®) (NCT NCT03165045)

NCT ID: NCT03165045

Last Updated: 2020-04-09

Results Overview

The primary endpoint of the study was "therapeutic success" at visit 2. The CCQ questionnaire contained 10 questions about symptoms, functional status and mental status. Each of the 10 CCQ questions was scored by the patient on a 7-point scale between 0 and 6 at baseline and at the end of observation after approximately 6 weeks. The sum of the scores divided by 10 gives the CCQ score which measures the health and functional status. A higher CCQ score is indicative of worse status. A decrease of 0.4 points is considered to be the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for both CCQ score and CCQ-4.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Final visit at the end of the study, approximately 6 weeks after start of study

Population: All screened patients with informed consent, at least one documented administration of Spiolto® Respimat® and available CCQ scores at visit 1 and visit 2, were defined as full analysis set (FAS).

The primary endpoint of the study was "therapeutic success" at visit 2. The CCQ questionnaire contained 10 questions about symptoms, functional status and mental status. Each of the 10 CCQ questions was scored by the patient on a 7-point scale between 0 and 6 at baseline and at the end of observation after approximately 6 weeks. The sum of the scores divided by 10 gives the CCQ score which measures the health and functional status. A higher CCQ score is indicative of worse status. A decrease of 0.4 points is considered to be the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for both CCQ score and CCQ-4.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Final visit at the end of the study, approximately 6 weeks after start of study

Population: All screened patients with informed consent, at least one documented administration of Spiolto® Respimat® and available CCQ scores at visit 1 and visit 2, were defined as full analysis set (FAS).

Absolute changes in total CCQ score and CCQ-4 score from baseline visit at the start of the study to final visit at the end of study. The CCQ questionnaire contained 10 questions about symptoms, functional status and mental status. The sum of the scores divided by 10 gives the CCQ score which measures the health and functional status. A higher CCQ score is indicative of worse status. A change of 0.4 points is was considered to be the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for both CCQ score and CCQ-4.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline visit (Visit 1) at the start of the study and final visit at the end of the study (visit 2), approximately 6 weeks after visit 1

Population: All screened patients with informed consent, at least one documented administration of Spiolto® Respimat® and available CCQ scores at visit 1 and visit 2, were defined as full analysis set (FAS).

General condition of the patient, evaluated by the physician (Physician's global Evaluation score) at visit 1 and visit 2. The treating physician used the Physician's Global Evaluation (PGE) to evaluate the general condition of the patient on an 8-point ordinal scale from 1 (very poor) to 8 (excellent). The modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale was used to assess the breathlessness state of the patient before the treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

Population: All screened patients with informed consent, at least one documented administration of Spiolto® Respimat® and available CCQ scores at visit 1 and visit 2, were defined as full analysis set (FAS).

A patient satisfaction survey was performed at visit 2, using a 7-point ordinal scale with divisions from very dissatisfied to very satisfied. The 7-item satisfaction scale is a self-designed Boehringer-Ingelheim scale, without a public source or validation status.
