About this study

Official title: A 28-Week, Multi-Center, Randomized, Double Blind, Parallel-Group, Active-Controlled Safety Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of PT003, PT001, and PT005 in Subjects With Moderate to Very Severe COPD, With Spiriva® Handihaler® as an Active Control

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, chronic dosing, active-controlled, 28-week safety extension study of the two pivotal 24-week safety and efficacy studies (Studies PT003006 and PT003007). This study is designed to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of Glycopyrrolate (GP) and Formoterol Fumarate (FF) combination (GFF) metered dose inhaler (MDI), GP MDI, and FF MDI in subjects with moderate to very severe COPD over a total observation period of 52 weeks. Open-label Spiriva is included as an active control. To be eligible for this study, a subject must complete participation in Study PT003006 (NCT01854645) or Study PT003007 (NCT01854658).

Being tested
GFF MDI (PT 003), GP MDI (PT001), FF MDI (PT005), Open-label tiotropium bromide inhalation (Spiriva® Handihaler®)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Morning -Pre-dose Trough FEV1 Over 52 Weeks

    Change From Baseline in Morning Pre-Dose Trough FEV1 Over 52 Weeks as a Model-Based Average (ITT Population). FEV1 was assessed at multiple time points post-baseline, and a model-based average of all visits starting from Week 2 through week 52 inclusive was calculated. The change values reported in the table represent the change between the baseline and the average FEV1 post-baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 2 to 52

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Self-Administered Computerized (SAC) TDI Focal Score Over 52 Weeks

    SAC TDI focal score over 52 Weeks as a Model-Based Average (ITT Population) The TDI is an instrument which measures the changes in the participant's dyspnea from Baseline. The scores in the TDI evaluate ratings for 3 different categories (functional impairment, magnitude of task in exertional capacity, and magnitude of effort). TDI scores ranged from -3 (major deterioration) to +3 (major improvement); total score = -9 to 9.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 4 to 52

  2. Peak Change From Baseline in FEV1 Within 2 Hrs Post-dosing

    Peak change from Baseline FEV1 Over 52 Weeks is a Model-Based Average (ITT Population). Peak FEV1 was assessed at multiple visits post-baseline, and a model-based average of all visits starting from Week 2 through week 52 inclusive was calculated. The change values reported in the table represent the change between the baseline and the average Peak FEV1 post-baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 2 to 52

  3. Change From Baseline in SGRQ Total Score

    The SGRQ is a disease-specific questionnaire, self-completed by participants, used to evaluate the effect of GFF MDI, FF MDI and GP MDI on health-related quality of life as compared to placebo in subjects with COPD. The scores range from 0 (best possible health status) to 100 (worst possible health status). The SGRQ contains 76 items grouped into three domains (symptoms, activity and impacts). Change from Baseline in total score of -4 units or lower is considered as clinically meaningful improvement in quality of life. SGRQ Total Score was assessed at multiple visits post-baseline, and a model-based average of all visits starting from Week 12 through week 52 inclusive was calculated. The change values reported in the table represent the change between the baseline and the average SGRQ Total Score post-baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 12 to 52

  4. Change From Baseline in Average Daily Rescue Ventolin Use

    Subjects recorded in their diary the number of puffs of rescue Ventolin HFA taken on each study day. The subject's average daily number of puffs of rescue Ventolin HFA was calculated over the entire 52-week treatment period. Missing values were ignored in both the numerator and denominator. Diary data recorded during the last 7 days of the 10-14 day screening period were used to calculate the baseline average. Change in rescue Ventolin HFA use was calculated by subtracting the baseline average from the 52-week average.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing GFF MDI (PT 003), GP MDI (PT001) and FF MDI (PT005) in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Pearl Therapeutics, Inc. at 125 sites in 3 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 6 inclusion and 14 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 17 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 125 sites in United States, Australia, New Zealand. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Feb 2017). 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?

Change From Baseline in Morning -Pre-dose Trough FEV1 Over 52 Weeks (time frame: Baseline and Weeks 2 to 52). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01970878, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Mar 2017.
