Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the trial is to show superiority in lung function of once daily (2 inhalations) treatment with orally inhaled tiotropium+olodaterol fixed dose combination to twice daily (one inhalation) treatment with fluticasone propionate+salmeterol fixed dose combination over 12 weeks in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

A Digital Health (DH) exploratory study has been integrated into the main study as a site specific study. The DH exploratory study will be performed at a single site; the site is also participating in the main study. The DH exploratory study site will enter (randomize) approximately 20 patients (subjects) (in addition to the patients to be enrolled in the main study at this site). The patients enrolled in the DH exploratory study are not considered to be part of the main study (i.e. data collected in the DH exploratory study will be analyzed separately from the data collected in the main study).

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Area Under the Curve From 0 to 24 Hours (AUC0-24) Response (Change From Baseline) [L] After 12 Weeks of Treatment [1 hours (h) and 10 minutes (min) before first dose at day1 of weeks 1 for baseline.10 min before and 30 min, 1 h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 11h 50min, 12h 30 min, 13h, 14h, 22h, 23h, and 24h post morning dose at week 12.]

      Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) Area under the Curve from 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24) response (change from baseline) [L] after 12 weeks of treatment. FEV1 AUC0-24 was calculated as the area under the FEV1-time curve from 0-24 hours post-dose using the trapezoidal rule, divided by the duration (24 hours) and reported in liters. FEV1 AUC0-24 response (change from baseline) was defined as FEV1 AUC0-24 mius baseline FEV1.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Area Under the Curve From 0 to 12 Hours (AUC0-12) Response (Change From Baseline) [L] After 12 Weeks of Treatment [1 hours (h) and 10 minutes (min) before first dose at day1 of weeks 1 for baseline. 10 min before and 30 min, 1 h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 11h 50min post morning dose at week 12.]

      Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) Area under the Curve from 0 to 12 hours (AUC0-12) response (change from baseline) [L] after 12 weeks of treatment. FEV1 AUC0-12 was calculated as the area under the FEV1-time curve from 0-12 hours post-dose using the trapezoidal rule, divided by the duration (12 hours) and reported in liters. FEV1 AUC0-12 response (change from baseline) was defined as FEV1 AUC0-12 minus baseline FEV1.

    2. Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Response (Change From Baseline) [L] After 12 Weeks Treatment [At 23 h and 24 h post dose at baseline and at 23h and 24 h post dose at week 12.]

      Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) response (change from baseline) [L] after 12 weeks treatment. Trough FEV1 was defined as the mean of the FEV1 value measured at 23 hours and at 24 hours after the trial medication administration. Through FEV1 response (change from baseline) was defined as trough FEV1 minus baseline FEV1.

    3. Peak 0-3 Hours Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Response (Change From Baseline) [L] After 12 Weeks Treatment [30 minutes, 1 h, 2h and 3h post dose at baseline and week 12.]

      Peak 0-3 hours Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) response (change from baseline) [L] after 12 weeks treatment. Peak 0-3h was defined as the maximum value measured within the first three hours post doing.

    2. Secondary Outcome
    Title Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Area Under the Curve From 0 to 12 Hours (AUC0-12) Response (Change From Baseline) [L] After 12 Weeks of Treatment
    Description Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) Area under the Curve from 0 to 12 hours (AUC0-12) response (change from baseline) [L] after 12 weeks of treatment. FEV1 AUC0-12 was calculated as the area under the FEV1-time curve from 0-12 hours post-dose using the trapezoidal rule, divided by the duration (12 hours) and reported in liters. FEV1 AUC0-12 response (change from baseline) was defined as FEV1 AUC0-12 minus baseline FEV1.
    Time Frame 1 hours (h) and 10 minutes (min) before first dose at day1 of weeks 1 for baseline. 10 min before and 30 min, 1 h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 11h 50min post morning dose at week 12.

    Analysis Population Description

    Description Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) response (change from baseline) [L] after 12 weeks treatment. Trough FEV1 was defined as the mean of the FEV1 value measured at 23 hours and at 24 hours after the trial medication administration. Through FEV1 response (change from baseline) was defined as trough FEV1 minus baseline FEV1.
