About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Multicenter 2a Study to Assess Safety, Daily Respiratory Symptoms, PK, and Biomarker Variations After Administration of Either YPL-001, or Placebo in Patients With Moderate-to-Severe COPD.

This is a Phase 2a, proof-of-concept, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double dummy, 3-treatment, parallel study, with low and high YPL 001 doses (low dose and high dose twice daily [BID]) and a placebo control in moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients.

Read the detailed description

Treatments are described as follows:

Treatment A: Multiple oral YPL-001 80 mg doses (1 x 80 mg tablet + 1 x 1 YPL-001 80 mg matching placebo tablet) will be administered approximately every 12 hours under fasting conditions for 55 consecutive days. Only the morning dose will be administered on Day 56.

Treatment B: Multiple oral YPL-001 160 mg doses (2 x 80 mg tablets) will be administered approximately every 12 hours under fasting conditions for 55 consecutive days. Only the morning dose will be administered on Day 56.

Treatment C: Multiple oral matching placebo (2 x 1 YPL-001 80 mg matching placebo tablets) will be administered approximately every 12 hours under fasting conditions for 55 consecutive days. Only the morning dose will be administered on Day 56. In all treatments, one tiotropium (Spiriva® HandiHaler®) 18 μg capsule will also be administered QD every morning prior to study drugs administration. Albuterol will be administered on an as needed basis. Each dose of Treatments A, B and C will be administered orally with approximately 240 mL of water.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event Frequency by Treatment - Number of Patients Reporting Events

    A TEAE was defined as an AE that was starting or worsening at the time of or after study drug administration. All AEs collected by the clinics and recorded in the CRF were captured in the database and were listed in by-patient data listings.

    Measured: Up to Day 56

  2. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event Frequency by Treatment - Adverse Events

    A TEAE was defined as an AE that was starting or worsening at the time of or after study drug administration. All AEs collected by the clinics and recorded in the CRF were captured in the database and were listed in by-patient data listings.

    Measured: Up to Day 56

  3. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event Frequency by Treatment, Severity, and Relationship to Drug - Number of Patients Reporting Events

    When a patient experienced the same AE at more than one level of severity, the patient was counted once under the highest severity.

    Measured: Up to Day 56

  4. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event Frequency by Treatment, Severity, and Relationship to Drug - Adverse Events

    When a patient experienced the same AE at more than one level of severity, the patient was counted once under the highest severity.

    Measured: Up to Day 56

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change From Baseline in Main Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) Measured Daily

    The PEF assessments are made daily prior to each dose from Day 1 of the Run-in Period to Day 56 of the Treatment Period. Three measurements were made at each time point using a hand held PEF meter. Readings not performed in the clinical research unit (CRU) were recorded in the patient e-diary. All PEF assessments were performed before administration of a bronchodilator where possible. Baseline is Day 1 predose measurement.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 55

  2. Change From Baseline of Symptom Severity Score for Symptoms of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbation

    Patient is asked to record the major (sputum quality, color, consistency) and minor (cough, wheeze, sore throat, nasal congestion, discharge, and body temperature above 100°F) symptoms of COPD exacerbation via the e-diary before each dosing. Baseline is Day 1 predose measurement

    1. Breathlessness(Dyspnea) Screen: 0(None)-10(Extreme): 0: better condition, 10: worse condition
    2. Sputum Quantity Screen: None(better)-greater than 1/4 cup(worse)
    3. Sputum Color Screen: White(better)-Brown(condition)
    4. Sputum Consistency Screen: Watery(better)-Thick(worse)
    5. Peak Flow Measurement Screen: 60(better)-800(worse)
    6. Symptoms Screen: (Temperature over 100F / Cough/Wheeze/Sore Throat/ Nasal Congestion)
    7. Nasal Discharge Screen(Yes/No) * quantitative data were summarized including sample size, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, CV, min and max.

    Symptom score catecorizes normal(0-0.5), mild(1-1.5), moderate(2-2.5), severe(3-3.5)

    Measured: Baseline to Day 55

  3. Change From Baseline in Dyspnea (Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale)

    Severity level of patient's dyspnea is accessed via the modified Borg dyspnea scale programmed within the e-diary. The modified Borg dyspnea scale is a self-administered categorical scale with a score from 0 to 10, where 0 (as a measure of dyspnea) corresponds to the sensation of normal breathing (absence of dyspnea) and 10 corresponds to the patient's maximum possible sensation of dyspnea.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 55

  4. Change From Baseline of Calculated Score From Duke Activity Status Index (DASI)

    Patient's functional capacity and activity status were accessed via the DASI programmed within the e-diary. DASI is a self-administered 12-item questionnaire that assesses daily activities such as personal care, ambulation, household tasks, sexual function and recreation with respective metabolic costs. Each item has a specific weight based on the metabolic cost. The final score ranges between 0 and 58.2 points.

    The higher score shows the better the functional capacity.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 55

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 14 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 25 Jun 2021). 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?

Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event Frequency by Treatment - Number of Patients Reporting Events (time frame: Up to Day 56). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02272634, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 14 Jul 2023.
