About this study

Official title: Comparative Study Between Three Therapeutic Options for Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients

Forty five COPD patients will be recruited from Chest Disease Department, Tanta University Hospital, Tanta, Egypt.

The aim of the study is to Compare between the effectiveness of three therapeutic options for treatment of moderate and severe COPD patients .These therapeutic options include Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus long acting B2-agonist (LABA) combination, Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus long acting anticholinergic (LAAC) combination and Long acting B2-agonist (LABA) plus long acting anticholinergic (LAAC) combination .

Read the detailed description

This study will be prospective randomized double blind study.

The forty five COPD patients will be divided into three groups:

Group 1: 15 patients with COPD who will receive inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)plus long acting B2-agonist (LABA) (Budesonide/Formoterol combination 160/4.5 mcg, 2 inhalations bid ).

Group 2: 15 patients with COPD who will receive inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus long acting anticholinergic (LAAC) (Tiotropium 18 mcg capsule inhaled once daily + Budesonide ).

Group 3: 15 patients with COPD who will receive long acting B2-agonist (LABA) plus long acting anticholinergic (LAAC).

If any worsening of dyspnea, increase of purulence, or increase of sputum production appear plus increase of peak variability more than 35% and FEV1 that necessitate a change of the regular drug medication of the patient will be recorded as exacerbation.

All patients will be submitted to the following analysis at the baseline, during and 12 weeks after the assigned treatment:

  1. Full medical history will be taken through clinical assessment of dyspnea, chronic cough and sputum production using mMRC or CAT test.
  2. Forced expiratory volume in 1second (FEV1) value measurement using spirometry.
  3. Measurement of the following inflammatory markers in serum and/ or plasma of patients under study .
  • Tumer necrosis factor alpha ( TNF )
  • Fibrinogen
  • Interlukin 6 ( IL6 )

Statistical analysis

The results will be statistically calculated to evaluate its clinical significance if any before ,during and after drug therapy using (ANOVA) system SPSS version 20 (2012) to compare between the three groups of patients and paired t-test will be used to compare between results before, during and after drug therapy .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Budesonide/Formoterol combination 160/4.5 mcg, 2 inhalations bid, Tiotropium 18 mcg capsule inhaled once daily + Budesonide and Formoterol/Tiotropium in people with COPD, run by Tanta University.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 20 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

FEV1 value (time frame: three months). 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 NCT04520230, 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 20 Aug 2020.
