Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male and female adults aged ≥ 40 years with written informed consent obtained prior to any study-related procedure.

  • Current smokers or ex-smokers who quit smoking at least 6 months prior to screening visit, with a smoking history of at least 10 pack years [pack-years = (number of cigarettes per day x number of years)/20].
  • A post-bronchodilator FEV1 < 50% of the predicted normal value and a post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) < 0.7 at least 10-15 min after 4 puffs (4 x 100 μg) of salbutamol pMDI. If this criterion is not met at screening, the test can be repeated once before randomisation.

Show all 15Show fewer
  • "A sustained worsening of the patient's condition (dyspnoea, cough and/or sputum production/purulence), from the stable state and beyond normal day-to-day variations, that is acute in onset and necessitates a change in regular medication in a patient with underlying COPD that includes prescriptions of systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics or need for hospitalization". Also documented visits to an emergency department due to COPD exacerbation are considered acceptable to fulfil this criterion.
  • Patients under double therapy for at least 2 months prior to screening visit with either:
  • inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting β2-agonist combination (fixed or free), without regular use of short-acting muscarinic antagonist (regular use means 2 puffs 4 times per day at least) or

  • Medical diagnosis of narrow-angle glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy or bladder neck obstruction that in the opinion of the investigator would prevent use of anticholinergic agents

  • Patients with hypokalaemia (serum potassium levels <3.5 milliequivalent per liter (mEq/L) (or 3.5 mmol/L)) or uncontrolled hyperkalaemia according to investigator's judgment
  • Unstable concurrent disease: e.g. uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or other endocrine disease; significant hepatic impairment; significant renal impairment; uncontrolled gastrointestinal disease (e.g. active peptic ulcer); uncontrolled neurological disease; uncontrolled haematological disease; uncontrolled autoimmune disorders, or other which may impact the efficacy or the safety of the study drug according to investigator's judgment.
  • Patients with any history of malignancy likely to result in significant disability or likely to require significant medical or surgical intervention within the next six months (after V1) or with malignancy for which they are currently undergoing radiation therapy or chemotherapy
  • History of alcohol abuse and/or substance/drug abuse within 12 months prior to screening visit

About this study

Official title: A Multinational, Multicentre, Randomised, Open-Label, Active-Controlled, 26-Week, 2-Arm, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Non-Inferiority of Fixed Combination of Beclomethasone Dipropionate Plus Formoterol Fumarate Plus Glycopyrronium Bromide (CHF 5993) Administered Via Pressurized Metered-dose Inhaler (pMDI) Versus Fixed Combination Of Fluticasone Furoate Plus Vilanterol Administered Via Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) (Relvar®) Plus Tiotropium Bromide (Spiriva®) for the Treatment of Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the triple combination of beclometasone dipropionate + formoterol fumarate + glycopyrronium bromide is effective in term of quality of life in COPD patients (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).

Being tested
BDP/FF/GB, FlF/VI + Tiotropium

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in the Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score at Week 26.

    the primary efficacy variable is the numeric value of the change

    Measured: 26 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. SGRQ response (change from baseline in total score ≤ -4) at Week 26.

    the secondary efficacy variable is derived as a categorisation of this value

    Measured: 26 weeks

  2. rced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) response (change from baseline in pre-dose morning FEV1 ≥ 100 ml) at Week 26.

    Measured: 26 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing BDP/FF/GB and FlF/VI + Tiotropium in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A. at 1 site in Hungary.

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 15 inclusion and 27 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 29 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Hungary. 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.

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?

Change from baseline in the Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score at Week 26. (time frame: 26 weeks). 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 29 Oct 2021.
