Clinical Study to Assess the Mode of Action of QBW251 in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: A Randomized, Subjects and Investigator Blinded, Placebo Controlled Parallel Group Study to Assess the Mode of Action of QBW251 in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine whether potentiating the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) with QBW251 in subjects with COPD would be efficacious with regards to reducing lung and systemic inflammation and bacterial colonization as potential drivers of airway obstruction, airway destruction, remodeling and exacerbations.

Furthermore, this study provided supportive data to investigate the relationship of COPD phenotype and the response in small airway structure, function, mucus load and spirometry indices as well as in improvement of overall COPD symptoms and quality of life.

Clinical Trial Description

This was a randomized, subject and investigator blinded, parallel-group, placebo controlled study investigating the mode of action (MoA) and preliminary efficacy and safety of QBW251 administered orally twice daily (b.i.d.) for 12 weeks in subjects with moderate to severe COPD (GOLD 2-3).

The study consisted of the following periods: Screening, Baseline / Day 1, Treatment , and End of the Study followed by an additional post-treatment safety phone call. The total duration for each subject in the study is up to approximately 18 weeks. ;
