Who may be able to join

  • The patients with COPD (chronic bronchitis, emphysema) whose symptoms are stable and who satisfy the following criteria
  • Patients with FEV1.0 of <=70% of predicted normal and FEV1.0/FVC of <=70% in the screening test (The FEV1.0 value should also be <=70% of predicted normal on the starting day of administration (visit 2).)

Who cannot join

  • Patients complicated with bronchial asthma, making the assessment of drug efficacy against COPD difficult

  • Patients with glaucoma
  • Patients with symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy
  • Patients with hypersensitivity to anticholinergic drugs or powder inhalants
  • Patients with serious complication who are judged by the investigator to be inappropriate as the subjects of study
Show all 18Show fewer
  • Patients demonstrating clinically problematic abnormal laboratory test values (general blood test, biochemical test, urinalysis). Those showing Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (GOT) and Glutamic PyruvicTransaminase (GPT) twice the upper limit of the normal range, bilirubin 1.25 times or creatinine 1.25 times of the upper limit of normal range are excluded.
  • Patients with a recent history of myocardial infarction or heart failure (i.e. within 3 months before the screening test)
  • Patients with arrhythmia requiring the treatment with drugs
  • Patients for whom the concomitant use of beta-blocker cannot be prohibited.
  • Patients who began treatment with an ACE inhibitor within 1 month before the screening test
  • Patients with tuberculosis (currently active) or with definite sequela of tuberculosis
  • Patients with a recent history of carcinoma (excluding basal cell carcinoma) (i.e. within the past 5 years)
  • Patients with a history of cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis
  • Patients with recent onset of upper airway infection (i.e. within 1 month before the screening test)
  • Patients who have taken an investigational drug within one month or within period six times of half-lives of that drug (whichever is longer) before the screening test.
  • Women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant, or those breast feeding
  • Other than above, those who are judged by the investigator to be inappropriate as the subjects of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tiotropium powder inhalation capsules and Tersigan® in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

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 18 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 31 Aug 2018. 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.

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?

Occurrence of Adverse Events (time frame: up to 52 weeks). The study lists 4 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 31 Aug 2018.
