Trial Outcomes & Findings for Quality of Life in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients After Switching to Tiotropium Plus Olodaterol Fixed Dose Combination in Greece (NCT NCT04672941)

NCT ID: NCT04672941

Last Updated: 2024-06-25

Results Overview

The CAT is a patient-completed questionnaire assessing globally the impact of COPD on health status. It contains 8 items, where each item has a score range from 0 to 5. The CAT score is calculated by summing up the scores from the 8 items. CAT score ranges from 0 to 40. Higher score denotes a more severe impact of COPD on a patient's life. CAT score \<10 corresponding to mild impact on patients life is usually considered representing patients without impaired health status.

Participant Flow

This non-interventional study (NIS) was to evaluate changes within 3 months in quality of life according to health status evaluated with the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Assessment Test in COPD patients who had recently switched (within one week) from tiotropium monotherapy (Spiriva® Handihaler®) to dual therapy with tiotropium bromide plus olodaterol (Spiolto® Respimat®), in the Greek private and public sector pulmonary offices and clinics.

All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the subjects) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.

EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises of 5 dimensions-mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort \& anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: not at all (level 1), mild (level 2), moderate (level 3), severe (level 4), extreme/leading to incapacity (level 5), with highest level corresponding to worst outcome. Subjects had to indicate their health state by choosing the appropriate level from each dimension. The dimension for mobility is reported in this endpoint.

Calculated from questions 1 to 13 in Part 1 of the PASAPQ. All questions in PASAPQ were answered on a 7-point scale ranging from 1= very dissatisfied to 7 = very satisfied. To calculate the total score, the sum of the 13 items of the two domains (performance and convenience) was transformed to a 0- (least) to 100- (most) point scale which is scaled positively: higher scores represent higher levels of satisfaction.
