About this study

Official title: Efficiency of Twice Daily Formoterol Versus Once Daily Tiotropium in Patients With GOLD A/B COPD: a Randomised, Open-label, Multicentre Trial

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease state characterized by persistent airflow limitation and associated with an accelerated decline in lung function, impaired quality of life, hospitalization, and increased mortality. As a major public health problem, COPD is predicted to rank as the fifth burden of diseases in the world by 2020. Thus, prevention of exacerbations is a important goal in the management of COPD. The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) Scientific Committee launched a joint project in 1998. Its goals were to raise awareness of COPD and to improve prevention and treatment of COPD patients around the world. In the 2017 GOLD guidelines, inhaled long-acting bronchodilators, including inhaled long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) and inhaled long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs), are recommended for the management of all stable COPD patients. However, it is not known whether LABA or LAMA will be more effective for initial relief of symptoms in patients with GOLD A/B COPD. In this multicenter, randomized study, the investigators evaluate the efficacy of formoterol(LABA) and tiotropium(LAMA) in the treatment of patients with GOLD A/B COPD. The primary endpoint is postbronchodilator FEV1, and the secondary endpoints include the frequency of COPD exacerbation, other lung function parameters, CCQ score and mMRC/CAT score.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tiotropium and Formoterol in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Huashan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2017. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shengqing Li, PhD (+8602152887072, shengqingli@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postbronchodilator FEV1 (time frame: 12 months). 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 19 Oct 2017.
