About this study

Official title: Non-interventional Multicenter Study of Spirometry Use to Diagnose COPD and to Prescribe Treatment to COPD Patients in the Outpatient Institutions of the healthcaRe System of the Russian FederaTion

This study is an observational multicenter descriptive study. The study will be conducted in primary outpatient medical institutions in different cities of the RF. Primary care doctors who are primary contact for greater part of the population in RF including COPD patients will be invited as investigators. This observational descriptive study will be conducted within the routine practice of outpatient institutions. Since spirometry is not an integral part of the current all-round clinical practice, only those sites where spirometry test is routinely used in examination of patients with COPD risk factors and when monitoring condition of COPD patients will take part in the study. Thus the decision about spirometry in every study subject will be determined only by the existing treatment approaches.

Read the detailed description

The study is an observational multicenter descriptive study. No hypothesis is checked in the study.

3000 patients with COPD risk factors are planned to be enrolled into the study (current smokers and former smokers with smoking history of ≥10 pack/years at the age of >40 years who have respiratory complaints) and 1450 patients previously diagnosed with COPD who contacted the physicians of outpatient institutions during the study (for 3 months) and are currently in remission.

100 patients with COPD risk factors and approximately 50 patients early diagnosed with COPD currently being stable are planned to be enrolled in each site.

Physicians and pulmonologists of the outpatient institutions of the Russian Federation will take part in the study in about 30 sites in 18 cities (a total of 31% of RF population live in the cities).

The observational descriptive study will be conducted within the routine practice of outpatient institutions. Examining and treatment of patients will be performed according to the rules of the routine practice.

Patients will be enrolled into the study as they visit the outpatient institutions for the medical care. The study does not imply any special invitation of COPD patients to the sites for them to be enrolled into the study. Therefore the conditions are made for the study population to reflect the typical visitors of the primary care medical institutions in different RF (Russian Federation) regions. Patients are enrolled into the study regardless the reason for appointment with a doctor. A reason for the appointment can be respiratory complaints as well as any other diseases or certificates and conclusions. To be enrolled into the study the subjects must sign the written Informed Consent Form (ICF) to participate in the study and to use personal data confidentially.

To investigate the role of spirometry in diagnostics and management of the COPD patients, two groups of patients are supposed to be included into the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. The number of COPD cases first-time identified by the spirometry in relation to the total number of patients who visited the outpatient institutions of the RF during the study

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  2. Percentage of prescriptions for patients with COPD that correspond to the severity of the condition of the patients according to GOLD classification and GOLD recommendations for the treatment choice

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  3. Distribution (%) of patients with COPD who contacted the primary care doctors during the study based on bronchial obstruction severity (GOLD 1-4) and classes according to GOLD classification (2014)

    Measured: Up to 5 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. The percentage (%) of patients who contact the medical institutions of RF daily can be referred to the group with risk of COPD development

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  2. Score on SGRQ at 1st Visit in COPD patients receiving monotherapy with inhaled long-acting and super long-acting bronchodilators and in patients who are treated with combined drugs containing inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β2 agonists

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  3. Score on САТ at 1st Visit in COPD patients receiving monotherapy with inhaled long-acting and super long-acting bronchodilators and in patients who are treated with combined drugs containing inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β2 agonists

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  4. Mean number of puffs of SABA for 24h in COPD patients receiving monotherapy with inhaled long-acting and super long-acting bronchodilators and in patients treated with combined drugs (inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β2 agonists)

    Measured: Upto 5 months

  5. The percentage of COPD patients in the routine practice of these medical institutions

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  6. Health-related economic losses calculated on the basis of the collected data (number of hospitalizations due to COPD exacerbations, calls of emergency service due to COPD, seeking outpatient care due to COPD) for the previous year

    Measured: Up to 5 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD, run by AstraZeneca at 22 sites in Russia.

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 0 inclusion and 9 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 1 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in Russia. 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.

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?

The number of COPD cases first-time identified by the spirometry in relation to the total number of patients who visited the outpatient institutions of the RF during the study (time frame: Up to 5 months). 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 1 Apr 2016.
