What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) Area Under the Curve (AUC) 0-24h

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. The standardized AUC FEV1 was calculated as the sum of trapezoids divided by the length of time over an entire day (AUC 0-24h). A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: baseline, 0 to 24 hours post-dose at week 12

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) Area Under the Curve (AUC) 0-24h

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. The standardized AUC FEV1 was calculated as the sum of trapezoids divided by the length of time over an entire day (AUC 0-24h). A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: baseline, 0 to 24 hours post-dose at week 12

  2. Superiority of QVA149 Compared to Umeclidinium/Vilanterol in Terms of Change From Baseline in Trough FEV1 (Mean of 23h 15 Minutes and 23 h 45 Minutes Post Previous Morning Dose)

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FEV1 was defined as the average of measurements made 23 hours 15 minutes and 23 hours 45 minutes post-dose for each treatment.

    Measured: baseline, 23 hours 15 minutes and 23 hours 45 minutes post previous morning dose at week 12

  3. Change From Baseline in FEV1 AUC 12-24h

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. The standardized AUC FEV1 was calculated as the sum of trapezoids divided by the length of time over 12 hours (AUC 12-24h).

    Measured: baseline, 12 hours to 24 hours post-dose at week 12

  4. Change From Baseline in FEV1 AUC 0-12h

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. The standardized AUC FEV1 was calculated as the sum of trapezoids divided by the length of time over 12 hours (AUC 0-12h).

    Measured: baseline, 0 to 12 hours post-dose at week 12

  5. Change From Baseline in FEV1 AUC 0-4h, AUC 4-8h, AUC 8-12h, AUC 12-16h, AUC 16-20h and AUC 20-24h

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. The standardized AUC FEV1 was calculated as the sum of trapezoids divided by the length of time over 4 hour intervals FEV1 AUC 0-4h, AUC 4-8h, AUC 8-12h, AUC 12-16h, AUC 16-20h and AUC 20-24h.

    Measured: baseline, 12 weeks

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Pre-dose trough FEV1 was defined as the average of measurements made 15 minutes and 45 minutes pre morning dose for each treatment.

    Measured: baseline, 12 weeks

  7. QVA149 Compared to Umeclidinium/Vilanterol in Terms of Change From Baseline in FEV1 at Any Time Point

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards.

    Measured: Day 1 (5min, 15min, 30min, hours 1, 2, 4, 8, 11h 55min, 23h 15min, 23h 45min); week 6 (-45min, -15min); week 12 (-45min, -15min, 5min, 15min, 30min, hours 1, 2, 4, 8, 11h 55min, 12h 5min, 12h 15min, 12h 30min, 13, 14, 16, 20, 23h 15min, 23h 45min)

  8. QVA149 Compared to Umeclidinium/Vilanterol in Terms of Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Any Time Point

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards.

    Measured: Day 1 (5min, 15min, 30 min, hours 1, 2, 4, 8, 11h 55min, 23h 15min, 23h 45min); week 6 (-45min, -15min); week 12 (-45min, -15min, 5min, 15min, 30min, hours 1, 2, 4, 8, 11h 55min, 12h 5min, 12h 15min, 12h 30min, 13, 14, 16, 20, 23h 15min, 23h 45min)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing QVA149 and Umeclidinium/vilanterol in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 53 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 5 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 2 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 53 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. 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 2 Apr 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 Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) Area Under the Curve (AUC) 0-24h (time frame: baseline, 0 to 24 hours post-dose at week 12). 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 NCT02487498, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Apr 2018.
