- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- All patients must have a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease according to the following criteria:
- Patients must have relatively stable airway obstruction with an FEV1 ? 65% of predicted normal and FEV1 70% of FVC.
- Predicted normal values will be based on the following formula. Males: FEV1 pred.(L) = height2(m) x (-0.016 x age(year) + 1.823) Females: FEV1 pred.(L) = height2(m) x (-0.012 x age(year) + 1.4427)

A significant disease is defined as a disease which in the opinion of the investigator may either put the patient at risk because of participation in the study or a disease which may influence the results of the study or the patient's ability to participate in the study.
- Patients with clinically significant abnormal baseline hematology, blood chemistry or urinalysis, if the abnormality defines a disease listed as an exclusion criterion will be excluded.

About this study
Official title: Comparison of 18 mg of Tiotropium Inhalation Capsules Once Daily and Atrovent Metered Dose Inhaler (2 Puffs of 20 mg, Four Times Daily) in a Double-Blind, Double-dummy, Efficacy and Safety Study in Adults With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
The objective of this study is to compare the bronchodilator efficacy and safety of once daily dosing of tiotropium inhalation capsules (18 ?g) and Atrovent? MDI (2 puffs of ipratropium bromide 20 ?g four times daily) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Read the detailed description
This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group study to compare the bronchodilator efficacy and safety of tiotropium inhalation capsules and Atrovent? MDI in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Following an initial screening visit, patients will enter a 2-week baseline period. Patients who successfully complete this phase will be randomized into the double-blind portion of the study in which they will receive tiotropium once daily (morning) or Atrovent? four times daily for 4 weeks. Pulmonary function testing will be conducted just prior (i.e. 5 minutes before) to the start of therapy at Visit 2 (i.e. randomization visit after completion of the 2-week run-in period) and at 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes post-dosing. Pulmonary function testing will be repeated at the same time intervals after 14 days of therapy (visit 3) and at the end of therapy.
Those patients taking theophylline, will be questioned about their last theophylline intake in order to ensure adherence to the washout requirements.
Vital signs will be measured in conjunction with the pulmonary function tests. Adverse events will be recorded throughout the entire run-in and treatment period.
Study Hypothesis:
The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in mean response between tiotropium and Atrovent. The alternative hypothesis is that there is a difference in mean response between tiotropium and Atrovent.
Comparison(s):
The primary pulmonary function variable will be FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in one second) and trough FEV1 response at the end of the four week treatment period, i.e. visit 4, will be the primary efficacy endpoint.
Trough FEV1 is defined as FEV1 at the end of the dosing interval (for tiotropium at approximately 24 hours post treatment administration). On test days (Visits 3 and 4) it is measured by the PFT just prior to dosing. Trough FEV1 response is defined as change from baseline in trough FEV1. Baseline FEV1 is defined as FEV1 measured just prior to first dosing in the morning of randomization visit (Visit 2).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing tiotropium inhalation powder capsule and ipratropium bromide Metered Dose Inhaler in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 6 sites in China.
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 21 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 14 May 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 6 sites in China. 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 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?
Trough FEV1 response: change from baseline trough FEV1 (visit 2) at visit 4. 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 14 May 2012.
