Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.
Condition(s) targeted: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Intervention: fluticasone propionate/salmeterol 250/50 DISKUS combination product (Drug); fluticasone propionate DISKUS 500mcg (Drug)
Phase: Phase 4
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: GlaxoSmithKline Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
GSK Clinical Trials, MD, Study Director, Affiliation: GlaxoSmithKline
Summary
Relatively little information is available about the effects of salmeterol/fluticasone
combination and fluticasone alone in COPD patients with a partial reversible pulmonary
obstruction. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of salmeterol/fluticasone
combination with fluticasone alone delivered via Diskus/ACCUHALER inhaler in subjects with
COPD on lung function over a 1 year period.
Clinical Details
Official title: Multi-Centre, Double-Blind, Randomised and Stratified Parallel Group Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Fluticasone Propionate 500 Mcg bd Versus Salmeterol/Fluticasone Combination 50/250 Mcg bd Both Via Diskus Inhaler During 1 Year in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD) Patients With a Partially Reversible Obstruction.
Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Efficacy Study
Primary outcome: Difference in efficacy of a 12 months treatment with salmeterol/fluticasone combination versus fluticasone on lung function (FEV1) as percentage predicted.
Secondary outcome: Reversibility of lung function with salbutamol and on Forced Vital capacity (FVC), TLC, FRC, FVC, Inspiration capacity(IC), Forced Inspiratory Volume in 1 second (FIV1) and Maximum mid-Expiratory Flow (MEF50).
Eligibility
Minimum age: 40 Years.
Maximum age: 80 Years.
Gender(s): Both.
Criteria:
Inclusion criteria:
- Established history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Lung function parameters: FEV1/FVC ratio < 70%, FEV1 between 80% and 30% predicted, a
reversibility of airway obstruction of 12% of the initial value with a minimum of 200
mL.
- Signed and dated informed consent.
Exclusion criteria:
- History of asthma or allergy.
- Unstable COPD in the 3 months before the study.
- Interference of non-pulmonary medication or diseases with COPD outcome parameters.
