Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase IIIb multicentre, randomised, blinded, triple dummy, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of UMEC/VI inhalation powder (62.5/25 microgram [mcg] Once daily [QD]) when administered via ELLIPTA® Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) compared to indacaterol plus tiotropium (150 mcg/18 mcg respectively QD) administered via individual inhalers over a treatment period of 12 weeks in participants with moderate to very severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that UMEC/VI (delivered via ELLIPTA DPI), when used in symptomatic moderate to very severe COPD participants, is non-inferior to the combination of indacaterol (delivered via BREEZHALER® inhaler) plus tiotropium (delivered via HANDIHALER® inhaler) on measures of trough forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) after 12 weeks of treatment. Participants who met the eligibility criteria at screening (Visit 1) will complete a 5 to 7 day run in period prior to randomisation at Visit 2. Clinic visits will follow at day 2, week 2, week 4, week 8 and week 12 of treatment, plus week 12 + 1 day (Visits 3 to 8). The total duration of study participation will be approximately 14 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) on Treatment Day 85 (Visit 8) [Baseline (BL) and Day 85]

    FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in 1 second. BL was the mean of the 2 assessments made 30 and 5 minutes (min) pre-dose (PD) on Day 1. Trough FEV1 measurements were taken electronically by spirometry on Days 2, 28, 56, 84 and 85. Trough FEV1 on Day 85 is defined as the mean of the FEV1 values obtained at 23 and 24 hours (hr) after dosing on Day 84 (at Week 12 + 1 day). Analysis was performed using mixed model repeated measures (RM) with covariates of trt, BL FEV1 (mean of values measured at 30 and 5 min PD on Day 1), center group, day, day by BL interaction and day by trt interaction, where day was nominal.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in Weighted Mean (WM) FEV1 Over 0-6 Hour Post-dose at Day 84 [Baseline and Day 84]

    BL FEV1 was the mean of the 2 assessments made 30 and 5 min PD on Day 1. WM FEV1 derived by calculating the area under the FEV1/time curve (AUC) using the trapezoidal rule, and then dividing the value by the time interval over which the AUC was calculated. The WM was calculated at Days 1 and 84 using the 0-6 hr post-dose FEV1 measurements collected on that day, which included PD FEV1 (taken 30 and 5 min prior to dosing on Day 1 and the 30 and 5 min reading prior to dosing on Day 84) and post-dose FEV1 measurements at 1, 3 and 6 hr post-dose.WM change from BL was the WM at at the visit minus the BL value. Analysis was performed using a RM model with covariates of trt, BL FEV1 (mean of values measured at 30 and 5 min PD on Day 1) center group, day, day by BL and day by trt interaction, where day was nominal. Only par with data available at the specified TP were analyzed but all par w/o missing covariate information and with >=1 post-BL measurement were included in the analysis.

Title Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) on Treatment Day 85 (Visit 8)
Description FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in 1 second. BL was the mean of the 2 assessments made 30 and 5 minutes (min) pre-dose (PD) on Day 1. Trough FEV1 measurements were taken electronically by spirometry on Days 2, 28, 56, 84 and 85. Trough FEV1 on Day 85 is defined as the mean of the FEV1 values obtained at 23 and 24 hours (hr) after dosing on Day 84 (at Week 12 + 1 day). Analysis was performed using mixed model repeated measures (RM) with covariates of trt, BL FEV1 (mean of values measured at 30 and 5 min PD on Day 1), center group, day, day by BL interaction and day by trt interaction, where day was nominal.

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Per Protocol (PP) Pop: all ITT Pop par who were not full protocol deviators considered to impact efficacy. Only par with data available at the specified time points (TP) were analyzed but all par without (w/o) missing covariate information and with >= 1 post BL measurement were included in the analysis.

Comments
Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority or Equivalence
Comments Alternate hypothesis:the difference between the trt means (umeclidinium/vilanterol minus indacaterol + tiotropium bromide) would be > -50 milliliters (mL). If the lower CI (2.5% 1-sided significance level) of the statistical test should fall above -50 mL, then umeclidinium/vilanterol may be deemed statistically non-inferior to indacaterol plus tiotropium. If the lower CI (2.5% 1-sided significance) of the statistical testing exceeded 0 then, statistical superiority would have been established.

2. Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in Weighted Mean (WM) FEV1 Over 0-6 Hour Post-dose at Day 84
Description BL FEV1 was the mean of the 2 assessments made 30 and 5 min PD on Day 1. WM FEV1 derived by calculating the area under the FEV1/time curve (AUC) using the trapezoidal rule, and then dividing the value by the time interval over which the AUC was calculated. The WM was calculated at Days 1 and 84 using the 0-6 hr post-dose FEV1 measurements collected on that day, which included PD FEV1 (taken 30 and 5 min prior to dosing on Day 1 and the 30 and 5 min reading prior to dosing on Day 84) and post-dose FEV1 measurements at 1, 3 and 6 hr post-dose.WM change from BL was the WM at at the visit minus the BL value. Analysis was performed using a RM model with covariates of trt, BL FEV1 (mean of values measured at 30 and 5 min PD on Day 1) center group, day, day by BL and day by trt interaction, where day was nominal. Only par with data available at the specified TP were analyzed but all par w/o missing covariate information and with >=1 post-BL measurement were included in the analysis.

ITT Population
Arm/Group Title Umeclidinium/Vilanterol 62.5/25 µg Indacaterol 150 µg + Tiotropium Bromide 18 µg
Arm/Group Description Participants self-administered one dose each morning from each of the following three inhalers for 12 weeks: ELLIPTA dry powder inhaler containing umeclidinium/vilanterol inhalation powder 62.5/25 micrograms (µg), BREEZHALER containing placebo, and HANDIHALER containing placebo. Each inhaler containing placebo was identical in appearance to its corresponding inhaler containing active study medication. Participants self-administered one dose each morning from each of the following three inhalers for 12 weeks: ELLIPTA dry powder inhaler containing placebo, BREEZHALER containing indacaterol 150 µg, and HANDIHALER containing tiotropium bromide 18 µg. The inhaler containing placebo was identical in appearance to its corresponding inhaler containing active study medication.

Adverse Events

Time Frame On-treatment serious adverse events (SAEs) and non-serious adverse events (AEs) were collected over a period of a maximum of 96 days starting from Day 1 of treatment until the follow-up contact.
Adverse Event Reporting Description On-treatment SAEs and non-serious AEs were reported for members of the ITT Population, comprised of all participants randomized to treatment who received at least one dose of randomized study medication in the treatment period.
