Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Annual COPD Exacerbation Rate Over 56 Weeks Treatment Comparison for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL A COPD exacerbation is defined by symptomatic worsening of COPD requiring:
Use of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days; a single depot injectable dose of corticosteroids will be considered equivalent to a 3-day course of systemic corticosteroids; and/or
Use of antibiotics; and/or
An inpatient hospitalization or death due to COPD Annual COPD exacerbation rate is the number of exacerbations per year. Its raw rate is calculated by number of exacerbations divided by the treatment period and then normalized to an annual rate, and is estimated by negative binomial model. Rate ratio between two treatment groups is also estimated through this model.
From first IP to week 56
Secondary Annual COPD Exacerbation Rate Over 56 Weeks Treatment Comparison for Patients With Baseline EOS<220/uL A COPD exacerbation is defined by symptomatic worsening of COPD requiring:
Use of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days; a single depot injectable dose of corticosteroids will be considered equivalent to a 3-day course of systemic corticosteroids; and/or
Use of antibiotics; and/or
An inpatient hospitalization or death due to COPD Annual COPD exacerbation rate is the number of exacerbations per year. Its raw rate is calculated by number of exacerbations divided by the treatment period and then normalized to an annual rate, and is estimated by negative binomial model. Rate ratio between two treatment groups is also estimated through this model.
From first IP to week 56
Secondary Mean Change From Baseline to Week 56 in Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 (L) Value for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 (L) is collected at Weeks 0, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 56. Baseline is the last non-missing value with quality (acceptable or borderline quality grade) prior to the first dose of study treatment. First IP up to end of treatment Week 56
Secondary Mean Change From Baseline in SGRQ Total Score for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL SGRQ is from 50-item PRO instrument. The SGRQ total score is expressed as a percentage of overall impairment, in which 100% means the worst possible health status and 0 indicates the best possible health status. First IP up to Week 56
Secondary Mean Change From Baseline in CAT Total Score for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL CAT is an 8-item PRO developed to measure the impact of COPD on health status. The instrument uses semantic differential six-point response scales. A CAT total score is the sum of item responses. Score ranges from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicative of greater COPD impact on health status. First IP up to Week 56
Secondary Mean Change From Baseline in E-RS: COPD Total Score for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL The E-RS: COPD is an 11-item PRO developed to evaluate the severity of respiratory symptoms of COPD. Summation of E-RS: COPD item responses produces a total score ranging from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating greater severity. First IP up to Week 56
Secondary Mean Change From Baseline in Total Rescue Medication Use (Number of Puffs Per Day) for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL The number of rescue medication inhalations and nebulizer treatments taken are recorded by the patient in the eDiary twice daily. Total rescue medication use is the sum of daytime and night-time use. First IP up to Week 56
Secondary Mean Change From Baseline in Proportion of Nights Awakenings Due to Respiratory Symptoms for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL Change from baseline to week 56 in proportion of nights awakenings due to respiratory symptoms. First IP up to Week 56
Secondary Number of Participants by Number of COPD Exacerbations Based on EXACT-PRO for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL The EXACT-PRO is a 14-item PRO instrument developed to assess the frequency, severity and duration of COPD exacerbations. Respondents are instructed to complete the electronic diary (eDiary) each evening just prior to bedtime and to answer the questions while onsidering their experiences "today". The daily EXACT-PRO total score has a range of 0-100 with higher scores indicative of greater severity. Exacerbation event frequency is calculated by comparing the baseline with daily total scores. An increase in EXACT-PRO total score =9 for 3 days or =12 for 2 days indicate an exacerbation event has occurred. Immediately following first IP up to week 56
Secondary Severity of EXACT-PRO for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL The EXACT-PRO is a 14-item PRO instrument developed to assess the frequency, severity and duration of COPD exacerbations. Respondents are instructed to complete the electronic diary (eDiary) each evening just prior to bedtime and to answer the questions while onsidering their experiences "today". The daily EXACT-PRO total score has a range of 0-100 with higher scores indicative of greater severity. Severity for the study is the highest score of EXACT-PRO. Immediately following first IP up to week 56
Secondary Duration of EXACT-PRO for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL The EXACT-PRO is a 14-item PRO instrument developed to assess the frequency, severity and duration of COPD exacerbations. Respondents are instructed to complete the electronic diary (eDiary) each evening just prior to bedtime and to answer the questions while onsidering their experiences "today". The daily EXACT-PRO total score has a range of 0-100 with higher scores indicative of greater severity. Event frequency is calculated by comparing the baseline with daily total scores. An increase in EXACT-PRO total score =9 for 3 days or =12 for 2 days indicate an event has occurred. Calculation of event duration after identification of the following five parameters: 1) onset; 2) three-day rolling average; 3) maximum observed value; 4) threshold for improvement; and 5) recovery. That is, duration of the exacerbation is the time elapse between onset and recovery of the event. Immediately following first IP up to week 56
Secondary Annual EXACT-PRO Exacerbation Rate Over 56 Weeks Treatment Comparison for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL The EXACT-PRO is a 14-item PRO instrument developed to assess the frequency, severity and duration of COPD exacerbations. Respondents are instructed to complete the electronic diary (eDiary) each evening just prior to bedtime and to answer the questions while onsidering their experiences "today". The daily EXACT-PRO total score has a range of 0-100 with higher scores indicative of greater severity. Event frequency is calculated by comparing the baseline with daily total scores. An increase in EXACT-PRO total score =9 for 3 days or =12 for 2 days indicate an event has occurred. Annual EXACT-PRO exacerbation rate is the number of exacerbations per year. Its raw rate is calculated by number of exacerbations divided by the treatment period and then normalized to an annual rate, and is estimated by negative binomial model. Rate ratio between two treatment groups is also estimated through this model. Immediately following first IP up to week 56
Secondary Number of Participants Having at Least 1 COPD Exacerbation for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL A COPD exacerbation is defined by symptomatic worsening COPD requiring systemic corticosteroids, antibiotics, or an inpatient hospitalization/death due to COPD. Immediately following first IP up to week 56
Secondary Time to First COPD Exacerbation Time to first COPD exacerbation is from the randomization date to the first occurrence of COPD exacerbation Immediately following first IP up to week 56
Secondary Annual COPD Exacerbation Rate Associated With ER or Hospitalization Over 56 Weeks Treatment Comparison for Patients With Baseline EOS>=220/uL Annual COPD exacerbations rate that result in ER or hospitalization is calculated by number of exacerbations resulting ER or hospitalization divided by the treatment period and then normalized to an annual rate, and is estimated by negative binomial model. Rate ratio between two treatment groups is also estimated through this model. Immediately following first IP up to week 56
Secondary Number of Participants Had COPD-related Healthcare Encounter for Patient With Baseline EOS>=220/uL Types of healthcare encounter: Hospitalisations (inc. intensive care and/or general care), Emergency department visits, Unscheduled outpatients visits, Home visits, Telephone calls, and ambulance transports. Immediately following first IP up to week 56
Secondary Duration of Study Treatment Administration Duration of study treatment is calculated from first dose date to last dose date + 1 day. From first dose date to last dose date, 48 weeks per protocol.
Secondary Serum Concentration of Benralizumab PK serum samples were collected pre-dose at each visit. Pre-first dose and pre-dose at end of treatment (week 56)
Secondary Immunogenicity of Benralizumab Antidrug antibody (ADA) responses such as ADA prevalence, ADA incidence, ADA persistently positive counts, etc. were presented Pre-treatment until end of follow-up, week 60 per protocol.
