Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this non-interventional, observational study is to assess whether changing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients from a dry powder inhaler (HandiHaler®) to a soft mist inhaler (Respimat®), without changing the pharmacological compound, will lead to an improvement in Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) score and in the scores of the three subdomains of CCQ score: symptoms (4 items), functional state (4 items) and mental state (2 items) during a study period of approximately 8 weeks.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	0.2 points decrease in the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) score between baseline and visit 2 in patients with high CCQ baseline score (= 2)	The CCQ contains 10 questions about symptoms (items 1, 2, 5, 6 of the CCQ), functional status (CCQ-4, items 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the CCQ) and mental state (items 3, 4 of the CCQ). Each of the 10 CCQ questions is scored by the patient on a 7-point scale (ranging between 0=asymptomatic/no-limitation, to 6=symptomatic/totally limited). The sum of the scores divided by 10 gives the CCQ score which measures the health and functional status. CCQ score values can be interpreted as: acceptable (CCQ < 1); acceptable for moderate disease (1 =CCQ <2); instable-severe limited (2 = CCQ < 3); very instable-very severe limited (CCQ = 3).	At baseline and up to 8 weeks (visit 2) from baseline.
Secondary	0.2 points decrease in the CCQ score between baseline and visit 2 in patients independently from CCQ baseline score	The CCQ contains 10 questions about symptoms (items 1, 2, 5, 6 of the CCQ), functional status (CCQ-4, items 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the CCQ) and mental state (items 3, 4 of the CCQ). Each of the 10 CCQ questions is scored by the patient on a 7-point scale (ranging between 0=asymptomatic/no-limitation, to 6=symptomatic/totally limited). The sum of the scores divided by 10 gives the CCQ score which measures the health and functional status. CCQ score values can be interpreted as: acceptable (CCQ < 1); acceptable for moderate disease (1 =CCQ <2); instable-severe limited (2 = CCQ < 3); very instable-very severe limited (CCQ = 3).	At baseline and up to 8 weeks (visit 2) from baseline.
Secondary	Changes in clinical control: Mean change in the CCQ score and in the scores of the 3 CCQ subdomains symptom, mental state, and functional state domain, in all patients independently from CCQ baseline score	The CCQ contains 10 questions about symptoms (items 1, 2, 5, 6 of the CCQ), functional status (CCQ-4, items 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the CCQ) and mental state (items 3, 4 of the CCQ). Each of the 10 CCQ questions is scored by the patient on a 7-point scale (ranging between 0=asymptomatic/no-limitation, to 6=symptomatic/totally limited). The symptom score is calculation of the sum of the 4 items (items 1, 2, 5, 6) divided by 4. The mental state score is a calculation of the sum of the 2 items (items 3, 4) divided by 2. The functional state score is a calculation of the sum of the 4 items (items 7, 8, 9, 10) divided by 4. The sum of the scores divided by 10 gives the CCQ score which measures the health and functional status. CCQ score values can be interpreted as: acceptable (CCQ < 1); acceptable for moderate disease (1 =CCQ <2); instable-severe limited (2 = CCQ < 3);very instable-very severe limited (CCQ = 3).	At baseline and up to 8 weeks from baseline.
Secondary	Changes in clinical control: Mean change in the CCQ score and in the scores of the 3 CCQ subdomains symptom, mental state, and functional state domain, in patients with high CCQ baseline score (= 2)	The CCQ contains 10 questions about symptoms (items 1, 2, 5, 6 of the CCQ), functional status (CCQ-4, items 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the CCQ) and mental state (items 3, 4 of the CCQ). Each of the 10 CCQ questions is scored by the patient on a 7-point scale (ranging between 0=asymptomatic/no-limitation, to 6=symptomatic/totally limited). The symptom score is calculation of the sum of the 4 items (items 1, 2, 5, 6) divided by 4. The mental state score is a calculation of the sum of the 2 items (items 3, 4) divided by 2. The functional state score is a calculation of the sum of the 4 items (items 7, 8, 9, 10) divided by 4. The sum of the scores divided by 10 gives the CCQ score which measures the health and functional status. CCQ score values can be interpreted as: acceptable (CCQ < 1); acceptable for moderate disease (1 =CCQ <2); instable-severe limited (2 = CCQ < 3);very instable-very severe limited (CCQ = 3).	At baseline and up to 8 weeks from baseline.
Secondary	Breathlessness of the patients	This outcome will be assessed using the Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Questionnaire for Assessing the Severity of Breathlessness which contains one question scored by the patient on a 5-point scale between 0 and 4, with higher scores indicating severe breathlessness.	At baseline and up to 8 weeks from baseline.
Secondary	Changes in breathlessness of the patients	This outcome will be assessed using the Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Questionnaire for Assessing the Severity of Breathlessness which contains one question scored by the patient on a 5-point scale between 0 and 4, with higher scores indicating severe breathlessness.	At baseline and up to 8 weeks from baseline.
