About this study

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

The purpose of this study is to assess the bronchodilator effect and safety of multiple daily doses of arformoterol administered for 12 weeks as maintenance treatment in patients with COPD

Read the detailed description

This was a double-blind, double-dummy, randomized, placebo- and active-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group study of adult subjects with COPD. The study was double blinded through the use of both unit dose vial (UDV) and metered-dose inhaler (MDI) placebos, as appropriate. The primary efficacy analysis utilized the placebo control. Secondary analyses of the primary efficacy endpoint utilized the active control, and included comparisons between the placebo and active control. 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  5. time-normalized area under the percent change in FEV1 from study baseline curve over 24 hours (nAUC0-24-B)

    Measured: Weeks -2, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12

  6. peak percent change in FEV1 from visit predose and study baseline

    Measured: Weeks -2, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12

  7. time point changes in FEV1; time to onset of response

    Measured: Weeks -2, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12

  8. time to peak change in FEV1

    Measured: Weeks -2, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12

  9. at-home and in-clinic peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)

    Measured: Weeks -2, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12

  10. relationship between the plasma concentration values and selected pharmacodynamic parameters

    Measured: Weeks -2, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 13

  11. Supplemental ipratropium bromide MDI and racemic albuterol MDI use

    Measured: Weeks 0-13

  12. COPD exacerbations and COPD symptom ratings

    Measured: Weeks 0-13

  13. St. George's Hospital Respiratory Questionnaire

    Measured: Weeks 0, 6, 13

  14. Investigator and Subject Global Evaluations

    Measured: Weeks -2, 12, 13

  15. Baseline and Transitional Dyspnea Index

    Measured: Weeks -2, 6, 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing arformoterol tartrate inhalation solution and Salmeterol in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Chronic Bronchitis, run by Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. at 65 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 65 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

percent change in trough FEV1 from study baseline to the end of the dosing interval (12 hours post-second dose for the BID treatment arms and 24 hours postdose for the QD treatment arm) over the double-blind period. (time frame: Weeks -2, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Feb 2012.
