  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Informed consent: Subjects must give their signed and dated written informed consent to participate.
  • Gender: Male or female subjects. Female subjects must be post-menopausal or using a highly effective method for avoidance of pregnancy. The decision to include or exclude women of childbearing potential may be made at the discretion of the investigator in accordance with local practice in relation to adequate contraception.
  • Age: >= 40 years of age at Screening (Visit 1)
  • COPD diagnosis: Subjects with a clinical history of COPD in accordance with the following definition by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society: COPD is a preventable and treatable disease characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases, primarily caused by cigarette smoking. Although COPD affects the lungs, it also produces significant systemic consequences.
  • Tobacco use: Subjects with a current or prior history of >=10 pack-years of cigarette smoking at screening (Visit 1). Former smokers are defined as those who have stopped smoking for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1. Number of pack years = (number of cigarettes per day/20) x number of years smoked Note: Pipe and/or cigar use cannot be used to calculate pack year history.
  • Severity of Disease: Subject with a measured post-albuterol/salbutamol Forced expiratory volume (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio of <0.70 at Screening (Visit 1). Subjects with a measured post-albuterol/salbutamol 50% <=FEV1 <=70% of predicted normal values calculated using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) reference equations at Screening (Visit 1).
  • Native Hip: Have at least one evaluable native hip.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy: Women who are pregnant or lactating or are planning on becoming pregnant during the study.
  • Asthma: Subjects with a current diagnosis of asthma. (Subjects with a prior history of asthma are eligible if they have a current diagnosis of COPD).
  • Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency: Subjects with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency as the underlying cause of COPD.
  • Other respiratory disorders: Subjects with tuberculosis, lung cancer, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, lung fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung diseases or other active pulmonary diseases.
  • Lung resection or transplantation: Subjects with lung volume reduction surgery within the 12 months prior to Screening Visit 1 or having had a lung transplant.
  • Chest X-ray: Subjects with a chest X-ray (or Computer Axial Tomography (CT) scan) that revealed evidence of clinically significant abnormalities not believed to be due to the presence of COPD. A chest X-ray should be taken at Screening Visit 1 if a chest X-ray or CT scan is not available within 12 months prior to Visit 1.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Measured at Total Hip

    BMD analysis performed on log (BMD ratio to baseline) using a repeated measures model with covariates of treatment group, age, gender, baseline BMI, visit, log baseline BMD, log baseline BMD by visit and treatment group by visit interactions. These estimates were then converted into annual changes and averaged to calculate the overall treatment estimates and difference which were used for testing non-inferiority. The analysis shown is for the "While on Treatment" estimand of the difference in percentage change from baseline per annum between FF/VI ± BMD medication/SCS (systemic corticosteroids) and VI ± BMD medication/SCS. Baseline is defined as the measurement performed at Visit 1. Percentage change is calculated as (BMD value post-Baseline divided by Baseline value) -1 multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Baseline (Visit 1) and 26, 52, 78, 104, 130 and 156 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol and Vilanterol in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 45 sites in 5 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 7 inclusion and 32 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 10 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 45 sites in United States, Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Canada. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 10 Apr 2019). 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?

Percentage Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Measured at Total Hip (time frame: Baseline (Visit 1) and 26, 52, 78, 104, 130 and 156 Weeks). 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 10 Apr 2019.
