Summary
A 12 week study to investigate the safety and effectiveness of arformoterol given twice
daily compared to placebo in subjects with COPD.
Clinical Details
Official title: A Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Randomized, Placebo- and Active-Controlled, Multicenter, Parallel-Group Study of (R,R)-Formoterol in the Treatment of Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Percent change from study baseline FEV1 to the end of the dosing interval (12 hours post-second dose for the BID treatment arms and 24 hours post-dose for the QD treatment arm)
Secondary outcome: Time-normalized area under the percent change from visit pre-dose curve for FEV1 over 12 hours (nAUC0-12)Peak percent of predicted FEV1 Time-normalized area under the percent change from study baseline curve for FEV1 over 12 hours (nAUC0-12) Time-normalized area under the percent change from study baseline curve for FEV1 over 24 hours (nAUC0-24) Timepoint changes in FEV1 Time to onset of response Time to peak change in FEV1 At-home and in-clinic peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) Ipratropium bromide MDI use Racemic albuterol MDI use Exacerbations of COPD COPD symptom ratings (over 12 weeks of treatment) Relationship between plasma concentrations of (R,R) formoterol and selected pharmacodynamic parameters
Detailed description:
This study is a double-blind, double-dummy, randomized, placebo- and active-controlled,
multicenter, parallel-group study of adult subjects with a primary clinical diagnosis of
COPD. Approximately 800 subjects were to be randomized in this study. Study participation
consisted of a total of eight (8) study visits over approximately four (4) months for each
subject. This study was previously posted by Sepracor Inc. In October 2009, Sepracor Inc.
was acquired by Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma., and in October 2010, Sepracor Inc's name was
changed to Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Eligibility
Minimum age: 35 Years.
Maximum age: N/A.
Gender(s): Both.
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria
- Subject may be male or female and must be aged less than or equal to 35 years on the
day the informed consent is signed.
- Female subjects greater than or equal to 65 years of age must have a serum pregnancy
test conducted at Visit 1 and confirmed negative prior to randomization. Subjects of
childbearing potential must be using an acceptable method of birth control.
- Female subjects who are considered not of childbearing potential must be:
- documented surgically sterile (defined as status post-hysterectomy or bilateral
tubal ligation) OR
- postmenopausal
- Subject must have a primary diagnosis of COPD, which may include components of
chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. Diagnosis can be made during the screening
process.
- Subject must have a minimum smoking history of 15 pack-years (pack-years = the number
of cigarette packs per day times the number of years).
- Subject must have a chest x-ray that is consistent with the diagnosis of COPD (e. g.,
not diagnostic of pneumonia, other infection, atelectasis, or pneumothorax or other
active/ongoing pulmonary conditions) and taken less than or equal to 3 months prior
to study start. If there is no chest x-ray taken less than or equal to 3 months
prior to study start, or if recent results are unavailable for review, a chest x-ray
will be performed.
- Subject must be able to complete all study questionnaires and logs reliably.
Exclusion Criteria
- Female subject who is pregnant or lactating.
- Subject who has participated in an investigational drug study within 30 days prior to
study start, or who is currently participating in another investigational drug study.
- Subject whose schedule or travel prevents the completion of all required visits.
- Subject who is scheduled for in-patient hospitalization, including elective surgery
(in patient or out-patient) during the trial.
- Subject with life-threatening/unstable respiratory status, including upper or lower
respiratory tract infection, within the previous 30 days prior to study start.
- Subject with a known history of asthma or any chronic respiratory disease (including
a current history of sleep apnea) other than COPD (chronic bronchitis and/or
emphysema).
- Subject with a history of cancer except non-melanomatous skin cancer. Subjects with
a history of cancer that is considered surgically cured and without a recurrence
within the past 10 years may participate in the study. History of
hematologic/lymphatic malignancy treated with chemotherapy or radiation is not
allowed.
- Subject with a history of lung resection of more than one full lobe.
- Subject who requires continuous supplemental oxygen therapy (unless subject resides
at elevation greater than or equal to 4,000 feet).
- Subject who has had a change in dose or type of any medications for COPD within 14
days prior to the screening visit.
- Subject with a known sensitivity to (R,R)-formoterol, ipratropium, salmeterol or
albuterol or any of the excipients contained in any of these formulations.
- Subject with a history of substance abuse or drug abuse within 12 months of study
start, or with a positive urine drug screen at study start.
- Subject using any prescription drug for which concomitant beta-agonist administration
is contraindicated (e. g., beta-blockers).
