About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, 3-way Crossover Study to Compare Pharmacokinetics and Safety of 10 μg BI 1744 CL Plus 5 μg Tiotropium Bromide Given as Fixed Dose Combination Via the Respimat® Inhaler With the Pharmacokinetics and the Safety of the Single Agents, i.e. 10 μg BI 1744 CL and 5 μg Tiotropium Bromide, Delivered Via the Respimat® Inhaler Following 21 Day-treatment Periods in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The purpose of this study is to compare the systemic exposure to BI 1744 BS and tiotropium at steady state following inhalation of the fixed dose combination (FDC) of 10 μg BI 1744 CL plus 5 μg tiotropium bromide with the systemic exposure to BI 1744 BS and tiotropium at steady state following inhalation of the single agents, i.e., 10 μg BI 1744 CL and 5 μg tiotropium bromide, when administered once-daily via the Respimat® Inhaler for 21 days.

The secondary objectives were to compare the safety and tolerability (adverse events, 12-lead electrocardiogram recordings, pulmonary function testing) of BI 1744 CL and tiotropium bromide when administered as fixed dose combination or as single-agent therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. AUC(0-1h,ss) of Olodaterol

    Area under the concentration time curve of Olodaterol in plasma over the time interval t1=0 to t2=1 hour at steady state (AUC(0-1h,ss)).

    As plasma concentrations were not expected to be quantifiable over the complete dosing interval in all patients, t2 was defined as the time-point where at least 2/3 of the patients reveal quantifiable plasma concentrations of Olodaterol. Based on the given definition AUC(0-1h,ss) was selected as primary endpoint.

    The displayed values show adjusted gMeans and intra-subject variabilities calculated from the statistical model (ANOVA).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BI 1744 CL, BI 1744 CL/Tiotropium FDC and Tiotropium 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 6 inclusion and 33 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 7 Jan 2016. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Jan 2016). 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?

AUC(0-1h,ss) of Olodaterol (time frame: Within 30 min before drug administration and 0:02, 0:05, 0:10, 0:15, 0:20, 0:40, 1:00, 2:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, 12:00, 24:00 hours after drug administration on Day 21 of the actual treatment period.). The study lists 3 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 7 Jan 2016.
