Trial summary

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of tiotropium vs. placebo on trough FEV1 and FEV1 2 hours post inhalation after 12 weeks of treatment. For both endpoints changes from baseline will be analysed. Three strata of patients will be included (severe COPD, i.e. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • All patients must have a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and must meet the following spirometric criteria:
  • Patients must have relatively stable, mild to severe airway obstruction with an FEV1 =<70% of predicted normal and an FEV1/FVC < 70 %.
  • Predicted normal values will be taken from the print-outs of the spirometers. Spirometers have to calibrated according to ECCS.
  • Male or female patients 40 years of age or older.
  • Patients must be current or ex-smokers with a smoking history of 10 or more than 10 pack-years. Pack Years = Number of cigarettes/day : 20 x years of smoking (Patients who have never smoked cigarettes must not be included)
  • Patients must be able to perform all study related tests, acceptable pulmonary function tests, including Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) measurements, and must be able to maintain diary cards during the study period as required in the protocol.
  • Patients must be able to inhale medication from the HandiHaler.
  • All patients must sign an Informed Consent Form prior to participation in the trial i.e. prior to pre-study washout of their usual pulmonary medications.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with significant diseases other than COPD will be excluded. 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 a recent history (i.e., one year or less) of myocardial infarction.
  • Patients with any cardiac arrhythmia requiring drug therapy or who have been hospitalised for heart failure within the past three years.
  • Patients who regularly use daytime oxygen therapy for more than 1 hour per day and in the investigator's opinion will be unable to abstain from the use of oxygen therapy.
  • Patients with known active tuberculosis.
  • Patients with a history of cancer within the last five years. Patients with treated basal cell carcinoma are allowed.
Show all 18Show fewer
  • Patients with a history of life-threatening pulmonary obstruction, or a history of cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis.
  • Patients who have undergone thoracotomy with pulmonary resection. Patients with a history of thoracotomy for other reasons should be evaluated as per exclusion 1.
  • Patients with any respiratory infection in the past six weeks prior to the Screening Visit (Visit 1) or during the run-in period.
  • Patients who are currently in a pulmonary rehabilitation programme or who have completed a pulmonary rehabilitation programme in the six week prior to the Screening Visit (Visit 1).
  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to anticholinergic drugs, lactose or any other components of the inhalation capsule delivery system.
  • Patients with known symptomatic prostate hypertrophy or bladder neck obstruction.
  • Patients with known narrow-angle glaucoma.
  • Patients using oral corticosteroid medication at unstable doses (i.e., less than four weeks on a stable dose before Visit 1) or at doses in excess of the equivalent of 10 mg of prednisolone per day or 20 mg every other day.

About this study

Official title: Acute and Long-term Effects of Once Daily Oral Inhalation of Tiotropium 18 Mcg Dry Powder Inhalation Capsules in a Placebo Controlled Parallel Group Design Study in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) of Different Severity

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of tiotropium vs. placebo on trough FEV1 and FEV1 2 hours post inhalation after 12 weeks of treatment. For both endpoints changes from baseline will be analysed. Three strata of patients will be included (severe COPD, i.e. <35% of predicted FEV1, moderate COPD, i.e. 35% - <50% of predicted FEV1, mild COPD, i.e. 50% - 70% of predicted FEV1, according to American Thoracic Society [ATS] criteria). The study is conducted in order to find out for which endpoint tiotropium is different from placebo in which stratum.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tiotropium bromide in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 177 sites in Germany.

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 18 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 21 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 177 sites in Germany. 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?

Change from baseline in trough FEV1 (Forced expiratory volume in one second) (time frame: after 12 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Nov 2013.
