Trial Outcomes & Findings for Spiolto® Respimat® (Tiotropium/Olodaterol) Versus Triple Combination Therapy in Everyday Clinical Treatment Practice for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (EVELUT®) (NCT NCT03954132)

NCT ID: NCT03954132

Last Updated: 2024-04-24

Results Overview

Change in mMRC (modified Medical Research Council) score between baseline and after end of observation (ca. 12 weeks of treatment, Visit 2). The modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale is a 5-point (0-4) scale based on the severity of dyspnoea, where a 0 is the best possible score with no disability and 4 is the worst possible score representing the most severity. The mMRC will be used to assess the breathlessness state of the patient with just one question: "When do you experience dyspnoea?", covering five everyday activities, potentially leading to dyspnoea and giving an according rate of 0 to 4 points. The Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID) is a change of 1.0 point. Change calculated as Visit 1 - Visit 2.

Participant Flow

This was an open-label comparative multicentric cohort non interventional study based on newly collected data. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients receiving a Long-acting beta2 adrenoceptor agonist/Inhalative Corticosteroids treatment until visit 1 were switched at the discretion of the attending physician to either tiotropium/olodaterol in the new reusable Respimat® inhaler or any triple therapy according to clinical routine. Observational period was approximately 12 weeks.

All patients were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. 6 patients were not recruited and treated. 24 patients in the treated set had at least one violations of the in- and/or exclusion criteria and were not included in the per protocol set (and the derived matched set).

Change in mMRC (modified Medical Research Council) score between baseline and after end of observation (ca. 12 weeks of treatment, Visit 2). The modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale is a 5-point (0-4) scale based on the severity of dyspnoea, where a 0 is the best possible score with no disability and 4 is the worst possible score representing the most severity. The mMRC will be used to assess the breathlessness state of the patient with just one question: "When do you experience dyspnoea?", covering five everyday activities, potentially leading to dyspnoea and giving an according rate of 0 to 4 points.

The Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Assessment Test (CATᵀᴹ) was developed as a simple instrument to assess health status in patients with COPD. The CATᵀᴹ consists of eight items, each formatted as a semantic six-point differential scale, making the tool easy to administer and easy for patients to complete. These eight items cover cough, phlegm, chest tightness, breathlessness when going up hills/stairs, activity limitations at home, confidence leaving home, sleep and energy. Each item is scored from 0 to 5. Total CAT score is calculated as the sum over the 8 items, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 40, corresponding to the best and worst health status in patients with COPD, respectively. The Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID) is a change of 2.0 points. Change is calculated as Visit 1 - Visit 2.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline at Visit 1 (day 0) and Visit 2 (planned at 12 week, up to a maximum of 42 weeks).

Population: Matched set (MS): All patients with informed consent who met all inclusion criteria as well as no exclusion criteria and have received at least one dose of Spiolto® Respimat® or triple combination (free or fixed LAMA + LABA+ ICS), excluding all patients who could not be matched in the propensity score matching, patients with missing data for this outcome measure were not replaced or imputed.

Number of responders with a change in modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) greater than or equal to 1 between visit 1 and 2. The mMRC was used to assess the severity of the breathlessness. the mMRC consists of five statements describing the patients grade of breathlessness ranging from 0 (best outcome) to 4 (worst outcome).

Patients were propensity score matched to the Triple-Therapy arm, propensity score was calculated based on a logistic regression model taking the choice of treatment as dependent variable and baseline characteristics as independent variables into account.

n=119 Participants
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients who were symptomatic (dyspneic) despite Long-acting beta2 adrenoceptor agonist/Inhalative Corticosteroids (LABA/ICS) maintenance treatment were switched to any triple therapy Long-acting muscarinic antagonist + Long-acting beta2 adrenoceptor agonist + Inhalative Corticosteroids (LAMA + LABA + ICS) by their attending physician in an real-world setting. Patients were propensity score matched to the Spiolto® Respimat® arm, propensity score was calculated based on a logistic regression model taking the choice of treatment as dependent variable and baseline characteristics as independent variables into account.
