About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Double-dummy, Placebo-controlled, Crossover Efficacy and Safety Comparison of 4-week Treatment Periods of Two Doses [5 μg (2 Actuations of 2.5 μg) and 10 μg (2 Actuations of 5 μg)] of Tiotropium Inhalation Solution Delivered by the Respimat Inhaler, Tiotropium Inhalation Powder Capsule (18μg) Delivered by the HandiHaler in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of trough FEV1 values at the end of 4-week treatment with tiotropium inhalation solution (5 mcg, 10 mcg) to that achieved with tiotropium inhalation powder (Spiriva 18 mcg).

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Trough forced vital capacity (FVC) response after 4 weeks (change from baseline)

    Measured: baseline until week 28

  2. Peak response (FEV1 and FVC) to first dose

    Measured: within 3 hours to first dose

  3. Peak response (FEV1 and FVC) after 4 weeks

    Measured: within 3 hours after 4 weeks

  4. FEV1 AUC0-12h and FVC AUC0-12h response after 4 weeks

    Measured: after 4 weeks

  5. FEV1 AUC0-3h and FVC AUC0-3h response after the first dose and after 4 weeks

    Measured: after first dose and after 4 weeks

  6. Individual FEV1and FVC measurements at each time point

    Measured: up to 28 weeks

  7. Pre-dose morning and evening peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) measured by patients

    Measured: up to 28 weeks

  8. Number of occasions of rescue therapy used as required (p.r.n. salbutamol)

    Measured: up to 28 weeks

  9. Median time to onset of therapeutic response after first dose

    Measured: after 4 weeks

  10. Number of patients with 15% response above baseline for each treatment at each timepoint after first dose

    Measured: at week 4, 12, 20

  11. Number of patients with 15% response above baseline for each treatment at each timepoint after 4 weeks

    Measured: at week 8, 16, 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tiotropium, Respimat SMI and HandiHaler in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 1 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 2 sites in Belgium, Netherlands. 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?

Comparison of trough FEV1 values at the end of 4-week treatment with tiotropium inhalation solution (5 mcg, 10 mcg) to that achieved with tiotropium inhalation powder (Spiriva 18 mcg).. 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 1 Nov 2013.
