Who may be able to join

  • Male and/or female patients with mild to moderate stable COPD, diagnosed according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines; 40-75 years of age
  • Prebronchodilator baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) 30-80% of the Quanjer predicted normal value (Quanjer et al. 1993) and at least 0.75 L with FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) < 70% of predicted [GOLD guidelines].
  • Previous smokers (>10 pack-years). Ten pack years are defined as: 20 cigarettes a day for 10 years; 10 cigarettes a day for 20 years; or 40 cigarettes a day for 5 years. Current smokers, with >10 pack year history, can be included under certain conditions.
  • Vital signs (after 3 minutes resting measured in the supine position) which are within the following ranges:

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant women or nursing mothers.
  • Patients with a QTc interval above 0.43 seconds for males and 0.45 seconds for females at the screening visit. If pre-treatment values on Day 1 of the treatment periods exceed 0.45 and 0.47 seconds for males and females respectively the visit may be re-scheduled once.
  • Patients with a history of prolonged QTc intervals, or a family history of prolonged QT syndrome.
  • Predominant diagnosis of asthma. (Patients must present without evidence of active asthma.)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing QAB149 in people with COPD, run by Novartis at 2 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 11 inclusion and 8 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 25 Oct 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Safety variables (laboratory tests, ECG, adverse events). 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 25 Oct 2011.
