Trial Outcomes & Findings for Re-usable Respimat® Soft MistTM Inhaler Study (NCT NCT04011735)

NCT ID: NCT04011735

Last Updated: 2021-03-03

Results Overview

Total PASAPQ score is a measure of patient's satisfaction regarding the handling of the re-usable Respimat® SMI. The total score was the sum of the 13 items related to Performance and Convenience PASAPG domains (7 items for Performance domain: Q 1-5, 10-11, and 6 items for convenience domain: Q6-9, 12-13). Each PASAPQ item had response options ranging from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 7 (very satisfied). To calculate the total and domain score, the items within each domain were first summed and then transformed to a 0 (least) or 100 (most) point scale, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction: Performance score = 100 \*\[(Q1+Q2 +Q3+ Q4+Q5+Q10+Q11)-7\] /(49-7) Convenience score = 100 \*\[(Q6+ Q7+Q8+Q9+Q12+Q13)-6\] / (42-6) Total score = 100 \*\[(Q1+Q2 +Q3+Q4+ Q5+Q6 + Q7+Q8+ Q9+Q10+Q11+Q12+Q13)-13\] / (91-13)

Participant Flow

A real-world, non-interventional study to assess the satisfaction of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with inhaler attributes and preferences for re-usable Respimat® Soft Mist Inhaler (SMI).

262 patients were enrolled into the study, whereof 2 patients were enrolment failures as they did not meet eligibility criteria or received a disposable inhaler. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.

Respimat® SMI-experienced: Maintenance With Re-usable SMI
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients who had been on maintenance treatment with a re-usable Respimat Sof Mist Inhaler (SMI) product (Spiriva®, Striverdi®, or Spiolto®) at study entry. Patients were followed from the time of study entry (enrollment visit) for a period of approximately 4 to 6 weeks (study period).
Respimat® SMI-experienced: Switching to Re-usable SMI
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients who had been on maintenance treatment with a disposable Respimat and who switched to a re-usable Respimat SMI at study entry. Patients were followed from the time of study entry (enrolment visit) for a period of approximately 4 to 6 weeks (study period).
Respimat® SMI-naïve
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients who had not previously used a Respimat SMI product and had received their first prescription for a re-usable Respimat SMI product at study entry. Patients were followed from the time of study entry (enrolment visit) for a period of approximately 4 to 6 weeks (study period).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At follow-up assessment, 4 to 6 weeks after baseline.

Population: Patients in the Full Analysis Set (FAS) who have available data for this endpoint.

Total PASAPQ score is a measure of patient's satisfaction regarding the handling of the re-usable Respimat® SMI. The total score was the sum of the 13 items related to Performance and Convenience PASAPG domains (7 items for Performance domain: Q 1-5, 10-11, and 6 items for convenience domain: Q6-9, 12-13). Each PASAPQ item had response options ranging from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 7 (very satisfied). To calculate the total and domain score, the items within each domain were first summed and then transformed to a 0 (least) or 100 (most) point scale, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction: Performance score = 100 \*\[(Q1+Q2 +Q3+ Q4+Q5+Q10+Q11)-7\] /(49-7) Convenience score = 100 \*\[(Q6+ Q7+Q8+Q9+Q12+Q13)-6\] / (42-6) Total score = 100 \*\[(Q1+Q2 +Q3+Q4+ Q5+Q6 + Q7+Q8+ Q9+Q10+Q11+Q12+Q13)-13\] / (91-13)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At study entry (baseline) and at study end (4 to 6 weeks after baseline).

Population: FAS: Respimat SMI-experience patients who switched from a disposable to a re-usable Respimat SMI product at study entry and with available data for this endpoint.

Difference in the mean Total PASAPQ score between study entry (baseline visit) and at study end (follow-up assessment) in Respimat SMI-experienced patients who switched from a disposable to a re-usable Respimat SMI product at study entry. The total score was the sum of the 13 items related to Performance and Convenience PASAPG domains (7 items for Performance domain: Q 1-5, 10-11, and 6 items for convenience domain: Q6-9, 12-13). Each PASAPQ item had response options ranging from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 7 (very satisfied). To calculate the total and domain score, the items within each domain were first summed and then transformed to a 0 (least) or 100 (most) point scale, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction.

Respimat® SMI-experienced: Maintenance With Re-usable SMI
n=68 Participants
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients who had been on maintenance treatment with a re-usable Respimat Sof Mist Inhaler (SMI) product (Spiriva®, Striverdi®, or Spiolto®) at study entry. Patients were followed from the time of study entry (enrollment visit) for a period of approximately 4 to 6 weeks (study period).
Respimat® SMI-experienced: Switching to Re-usable SMI
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients who had been on maintenance treatment with a disposable Respimat and who switched to a re-usable Respimat SMI at study entry. Patients were followed from the time of study entry (enrolment visit) for a period of approximately 4 to 6 weeks (study period).
Respimat® SMI-naïve
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients who had not previously used a Respimat SMI product and had received their first prescription for a re-usable Respimat SMI product at study entry. Patients were followed from the time of study entry (enrolment visit) for a period of approximately 4 to 6 weeks (study period).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At follow-up assessment, 4 to 6 weeks after baseline.

Population: FAS: Respimat SMI-experience patients who switched from a disposable to a re-usable Respimat SMI product at study entry and with available data for this endpoint.

Number of patients with preference for re-usable or disposable Respimat SMI at study end (follow-up assessment), in Respimat SMI-experienced patients who switched from a disposable to a re-usable Respimat SMI product at study entry. To assess the preference for inhaler, following question was asked: "Comparing the re-usable with disposable inhaler, which inhaler do you prefer to use?"
