Clinical Trial Summary

The study purpose is to evaluate the effect of QAB149

- NVA237 vs. QAB149 on static lung hyperinflation.


Description:

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, single-dose, cross-over, placebo-controlled study. The primary endpoint was chosen to demonstrate the superiority of a single-dose of the combined inhalation vs. the mono inhalation regarding the Inspiratory Capacity (IC) peak value. A total of 78 patients will be randomized to complete two visits with two single doses of treatment. Patients will be randomized in a cross-over manner. Treatment visits will be separated by a study medication wash-out period.Treatments will be administered in a blinded fashion.

The patients will be male and female patients, ≥40 years of age, with a documented diagnosis of moderate or severe COPD according to Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) criteria and >10-pack years history of smoking, FEV1 <80% and ≥30% of the predicted normal value.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Inspiratory Capacity (IC) Peak Value IC was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Peak IC was defined as the maximum IC of the mean at one of the post-dose measurements (30min, 60min, 120min, 180min and 240min). Day (0) 30minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours; Day (6) 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours No
Secondary Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. FEV1 was at 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes post-dose. Spirometry equipment and performance of spirometric testing had to be in accordance with standards as outlined in the American Thoracic Society for the Standardization of Spirometry recommendations. The spirometry equipment used during the study had to meet or exceed these minimal ATS recommendations Day (0) 30minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours; Day (6) 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours No
Secondary Inspiratory Capacity (IC) During the 4 hours following inhalation of the study treatment, inspiratory capacity (IC) was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. IC was measured at 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes post-dose within 4h after dosing No
Secondary Forced Volume Capacity (FVC) FVC was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Measurements were made 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes post-dose. The standardized AUC FEV1 was calculated as the sum of trapezoids divided by the length of time Day (0) 30minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours; Day (6) 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours No
Secondary Total Lung Capacity (TLC) TLC was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Peak TLC was calculated as the mean of the three Functional Residual Capacity peak measurements plus the mean of the three Inspiratory Capacity measurements which were measured each at 30, 60, 120, 180 and 240 minutes post dose Day (0) 30minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours; Day (6) 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours No
Secondary Airway Resistance (Raw) Raw was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Raw was the mean of the measurements which were measured each at 30, 60, 120, 180 and 240 minutes Day (0) 30minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours; Day (6) 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours No
