Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Test the Combination of Tiotropium and Olodaterol Using the Respimat® Inhaler in People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Who Have Different Abilities to Inhale (NCT NCT04223843)

NCT ID: NCT04223843

Last Updated: 2021-11-18

Results Overview

FEV1 AUC0-3h was calculated as the area under the FEV1-time curve from 0 to 3h post-dose using the trapezoidal rule, divided by the duration (3h) to report in liters. Mean is adjusted mean. A hierarchical testing procedure was used to test the primary endpoint. Each of the tests were considered confirmatory only if all previous tests were successful.

Participant Flow

A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to demonstrate the efficacy of 5µg/5µg inhaled tiotropium + olodaterol (Tio+Olo) via Respimat® on lung function in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with optimal and sub-optimal peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR).

Only patients that met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were included in this trial. Prior to the initiation of any trial-related procedure, all patients were informed about the trial verbally and in writing by the investigator. Each patient signed and dated an Informed Consent Form (ICF) according to the local regulatory and legal requirements.

Tio+Olo (5μg/5μg) - Sub-optimal PIFR
A fixed dose combination of 5 microgram (μg)/5μg (two times 2.5µg/2.5µg) tiotropium + olodaterol (Tio+Olo) inhalation solution was administered orally once daily via Respimat inhaler in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and with sub-optimal peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR) (\<60 Liter(L)/minute (min)) over a 4-week treatment period.
Matching Placebo - Sub-optimal PIFR
2 inhalation solutions of matching placebo were administered orally once daily via Respimat inhaler in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and with sub-optimal peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR) (\<60 L/min) over a 4-week treatment period.
