What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Week 12

    All collected Spirometry was performed according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FEV1 at Week 12 was defined as the mean of the values collected at two time points 30 minutes apart at approximately 24 hours (± 1 hour) after the previous morning dose.

    All collected values were used in this analyses, regardless if the subject remained on randomized treatment or not, and regardless if the values might potentially be affected by other therapies or not Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).

    Measured: baseline and Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Week 12

    On-treatment Spirometry was performed according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FEV1 at Week 12 was defined as the mean of the values collected at two time points 30 minutes apart at approximately 24 hours (± 1 hour) after the previous morning dose.

    Only on-treatment values (which included only data collected while subjects were taking study drug) are used for this analysis. Values affected by other medication use were set to missing. Non-collected or missing data were not imputed for this analysis. Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).

    Measured: Week 12

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 12

    All collected Spirometry was performed according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FVC at Week 12 was defined as the mean of the values collected at two time points 30 minutes apart at approximately 24 hours (± 1 hour) after the previous morning dose.

    All collected values were used in the analyses, regardless if the subject remained on randomized treatment or not, and regardless if the values might potentially be affected by other therapies or not Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).

    Measured: baseline and Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)Week 12

    On-treatment Spirometry was performed according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FVC at Week 12 was defined as the mean of the values collected at two time points 30 minutes apart at approximately 24 hours (± 1 hour) after the previous morning dose.

    Only on-treatment values (which included only data collected while subjects were taking study drug) are used for this analysis. Values affected by other medication use were set to missing. Non-collected or missing data were not imputed for this analysis. Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).

    Measured: baseline and Week 12

  3. Change From Baseline in Health Status Measured by St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) at Week 12/End of Study

    All collected Participants reported change in health status by using the SGRQ. The SGRQ contains 50 items divided into 2 parts covering 3 aspects of health related to COPD: symptoms, activity, and impacts. A score was calculated for each of these 3 subscales and a "Total" score was calculated. In each case the lowest possible value is 0 and the highest 100. Higher values correspond to greater impairment of health status.

    All collected values were used in the analyses, regardless if the subject remained on randomized treatment or not. Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).

    Measured: baseline and Week 12

  4. Change From Baseline in Health Status Measured by St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Week 12/End of Study

    On-treatment Participants reported change in health status by using the SGRQ. The SGRQ contains 50 items divided into 2 parts covering 3 aspects of health related to COPD: symptoms, activity, and impacts. A score was calculated for each of these 3 subscales and a "Total" score was calculated. In each case the lowest possible value is 0 and the highest 100. Higher values correspond to greater impairment of health status.

    Only on-treatment values (which included only data collected while subjects were taking study drug) are used for this analysis. Values affected by other medication use were set to missing. Non-collected or missing data were not imputed for this analysis. Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).

    Measured: baseline and Week 12

  5. Change in Number of Rescue Medication Puffs Per Day Over the 12-week Double-blind Treatment Period

    All collected Participants completed an electronic diary (eDiary) daily (night time) to record the number of puffs of rescue medication inhaled in the previous 24 hours. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    All collected values were used in the analyses, regardless if the subject remained on randomized treatment or not. Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).

    Measured: Week 0-12

  6. Number of Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing SUN-101 50 mcg BID eFlow (CS) nebulizer and SUN-101 25 mcg BID eFlow (CS) nebulizer in people with COPD and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Sunovion Respiratory Development Inc. at 45 sites in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 16 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 13 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 45 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 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 13 Mar 2018). 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 Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Week 12 (time frame: baseline and Week 12). The study lists 2 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 NCT02347774, which also lists 3 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 13 Mar 2018.
