Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is a multicentre, open, randomised, parallel-group study with formoterol 9 μg one inhalation b.i.d, or standard COPD therapy. Standard (reference) COPD treatment arm should be the group to refer to when safety results of formoterol arm will be evaluated. 240 patients with moderate-to-severe COPD will be randomised (120 patients in the formoterol-arm and 120 patients on standard COPD therapy).

    8. Total Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Symptom Score [Daily during run-in period (14 - 18 days before Randomisation visit ) and daily during 52-week randomization treatment]

      The Total COPD Symptom score is the sum of the measures night-time awakening, breathlessness and cough, ranges from 0 to 12 with 12 being the most severe. The change from Run-in period average to Treatment period average for each treatment group.

    9. Number of COPD Exacerbations Over the Treatment Period [Daily during 52-week randomization treatment]

      A Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbation was defined as worsening in COPD symptoms requiring treatment with either a course of systemic steroid or hospitalisation. Number of COPD exacerbation during 52-week randomization treatment was presented here.

      The change from Run-in period average to Treatment period average for each treatment group.

    11. St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score [Daily during run-in period (14 - 18 days before Randomisation visit ) and daily during 52-week randomization treatment]

      SGRQ total score shows the impact of COPD on patient's health status, and expressed as a percentage of impairment with scale from 0 (best health status) to 100 (worst possible status). A negative rate of decline shows decreasing SGRQ total score (or improved health) over time, while a positive value shows increasing score (or worsen health). The change from Run-in period average to Treatment period average for each treatment group

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details The first participant entered the study on 18 December 2009, and the last participant completed the study on 20 July 2011. A total of 320 participants were enrolled at 30 centers in Japan, and 251 participants who fulfilled the randomization criteria were randomized.
    Pre-assignment Detail The study started with an enrolment visit, Visit 1, 1 week prior to Visit 2, and 1 week run-in period before randomization. At Visit 2 participants had to have pre-bronchodilatory forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) less than 80 percent of the predicted normal value.
