Trial summary

Reports suggest that the Medicaid population includes a higher percentage of smokers than the general population. A high prevalence of smokers in a population is likely to lead to a higher burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Read more about this study

Study population: Medicaid recipients (aged >=40 years) diagnosed with COPD (International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9 CM) codes: 491.xx, 492.x, 496.xx) and newly initiated on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) maintenance medication (maintenance therapies include ipratropium alone/combination ipratropium-albuterol (IPR), tiotropium (TIO), inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), long-acting beta-agonist (LABA), and combination product of inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting beta-agonist (ICS/LABA)) will be identified and matched in a 1 to 3 ratio to non-COPD Medicaid recipients on age (exact), gender, race, index year, Medicare dual eligibility, pre-index long-term care use. Index date was defined as the date of the first chronologically-occurring COPD maintenance medication during an identification period (01/01/2004 to 12/31/2006) for COPD patients, and as the date of the first medical or prescription claim during the index year of the corresponding matche

  • continuously eligible to receive healthcare services through Medicaid in the pre-index and follow-up period
  • enrolled in fee-for-service plans
  • without a diagnosis code of exclusionary comorbid conditions - cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, respiratory cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, pneumoconiosis, sarcoidosis, pulmonary tuberculosis (including fibrosis due to tuberculosis)

Who cannot join

  • age less than 40 at index dates

About this study

Reports suggest that the Medicaid population includes a higher percentage of smokers than the general population. A high prevalence of smokers in a population is likely to lead to a higher burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Few studies have evaluated the economic burden of COPD in a Medicaid population. The objective of this observational, retrospective cohort study is to estimate the economic burden of COPD in subjects with a COPD diagnosis who are enrolled in Medicaid and are receiving maintenance treatment covered by Medicaid.

Specifically, the null hypothesis for the primary outcome measure is that no difference is observed in all-cause costs between subjects with and without COPD. The test hypothesis is that there is a difference in all-cause costs between subjects with and without COPD.

Secondary outcomes to be evaluated include all-cause resource use and COPD-related costs for the COPD cohort.

The study uses a medical and pharmacy administrative claims database called MarketScan Medicaid Database that contains the medical, surgical, and prescription drug experience of nearly 7 million Medicaid recipients. This analysis will use data from 8 states.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Subjects with COPDOther

    Medicaid beneficiaries diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and newly initiated on a maintenance medication

  • Subjects without COPDOther

    Medicaid beneficiaries without a COPD diagnosis but having at least one medical or pharmacy claim during each year of the identification period

What is being measured

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

  1. Incremental costs of COPD

    Mean difference in all-cause costs between subjects with and without COPD. Incremental total costs and components of incremental total costs including pharmacy, medical, and long-term care will be reported

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. All-cause resource use

    The mean number of visits of each type of medical resource use including inpatient hospitalizations, emergency department [ED] visits, physician visits, outpatient visits, home healthcare visits/durable medical equipment, and long-term care visits.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. COPD-related costs

    Mean total, pharmacy, medical and long-term care costs associated with COPD in the cohort of subjects with a COPD diagnosis

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

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 1 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 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Incremental costs of COPD (time frame: 1 year). 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 Jun 2012.
