About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Center, Seven Arm, Four-Period Cross-over, Incomplete Block Design, 7-Day Dosing Study to Assess the Dose-Response, Safety, and Efficacy of EP-101 (SUN101) in Subjects With Moderate to Severe COPD

The purpose of this study is to determine steady-state efficacy and dose response profile and to assess safety and pharmacokinetic profile of nebulized EP-101(SUN101) after 7-day dosing using an investigational high efficiency nebulizer (eFlow®) compared with placebo and two active comparators in patients with moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, four-period, incomplete block design cross-over study using EP-101(SUN101) and open-label active controls (tiotropium bromide and ipratropium bromide). The study population will consist of subjects of 40-75 years of age with moderate to severe COPD. Approximately 133 subjects diagnosed with moderate to severe COPD will be enrolled in order to achieve minimum 105 subjects completing the study.

Following a run-in phase, each subject will be randomly assigned to one of 7 treatment sequences,(96 sequences when order of administration is considered), with each sequence comprised of four 7-day Treatment Periods. There will be a washout period of 7 days between each Treatment Period. Study visits will be conducted on Days 1 and 7 of each Treatment Period, with an overnight stay required in the clinic during these visits. A Final Study Visit will be conducted 7 days following the last study treatment.

During each Treatment Period, study treatments will be administered once daily (QD), except for ipratropium inhalation solution, which will be administered three times daily (TID). EP-101 (SUN101)active and placebo treatments will be administered using an investigational high-efficiency eFlow® nebulizer. Tiotropium bromide (Spiriva®) will be administered in an open-label manner via Handihaler® dry-powder inhaler (DPI). Ipratropium bromide inhalation solution will be administered in an open-label manner via general purpose nebulizer.

This study was previously posted by Elevation Pharmaceuticals, Inc. On September 5, 2012, Elevation was acquired by merger with Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Sunovion"), which resulted in Elevation becoming a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunovion. In conjunction with this acquisition, the name of Elevation has been changed to Sunovion Respiratory Development Inc.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change in 24 Post Dose Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)

    Spirometry measurements were conducted in accordance with the current ATS/ERS 2005 guidelines. Trough FEV1 was defined as the mean of the spirometry values collected at 23 hours 30 minutes and 24 hours post dose for Day 1 and Day 7 within each Treatment Period. Baseline was calculated as the mean of the FEV1 values at 45 minutes and 15 minutes prior to the morning dose at Day 1 of each Treatment Period. Change from baseline was calculated as the trough FEV1 value minus the baseline for Day 1 and Day 7.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  2. Standardized Change in FEV1 Area Under the Curve (AUC) (0-12hr , 12-24hr, 0-24hr) on Day 1 and Day 7

    Spirometry measurements were conducted in accordance with the current ATS/ERS 2005 guidelines. The standardized FEV1 AUC(0-12hr and 12-24hr) on Day 1 and Day 7 was calculated using the trapezoidal rule from the changes in FEV1 at Day 1 and Day 7, respectively, from the baseline value (the mean of the two FEV1 values at 45 minutes and 15 minutes prior to morning dose at Day 1 of the respective Treatment Periods) and dividing by the actual length of the time interval.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Peak FEV1 (Maximum FEV1 During the First 4 Hours Post-dose on Day 1 and Day 7)

    Spirometry measurements were conducted in accordance with the current ATS/ERS 2005 guidelines

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  2. Treatment Responders (Number of Subjects With Clinically Meaningful Change From Pre-dose in Trough FEV1 on Day 1 and Day 7)

    Spirometry measurements were conducted in accordance with the current ATS/ERS 2005 guidelines. Clinically meaningful is defined as when the change from baseline (mean of the two pre-dose values at Day 1) in 24 hour trough FEV1 on a SUN-101 treatment is more than 100 mL compared to the mean change in trough FEV1 from all subjects on the placebo treatment.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Events, Vital Signs, and Clinically Significant Abnormal ECG Values and Laboratory Tests

    AEs are defined as existing conditions which worsen or events which occur during the course of the clinical trial after treatment. Vital signs were performed during the screening period to confirm study eligibility and at the final study visit. ECGs were performed during the screening period to confirm study eligibility. Vital signs and ECG were additionally collected within 30 minutes pre-dose; and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours, and 23 hours 45 minutes post-dose within each treatment period. Clinical laboratory assessments were conducted during the screening period, at each study visit during each treatment period, and at the final study visit.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 7

  4. Rescue Medication Use

    Mean number of puffs of daily rescue medication

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 7

  5. Treatment Responders (Percentage of Subjects With Clinically Meaningful Change From Pre-dose in Trough FEV1 on Day 1 and Day 7)

    percentage of subjects with clinically meaningful change from pre-dose in trough FEV1 on Day 1 and Day 7 Spirometry measurements were conducted in accordance with the current ATS/ERS 2005 guidelines.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing EP-101 via nebulizer (eFlow®) 25 ug, EP-101 via nebulizer (eFlow®) 50 ug and EP-101 via nebulizer (eFlow®) 100 ug in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Sunovion Respiratory Development Inc. at 11 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 8 inclusion and 15 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 9 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States, United Kingdom. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 May 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Mean Change in 24 Post Dose Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) (time frame: Day 1 and Day 7). 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 9 May 2018.
