What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in COPD Assessment Test (CAT) Score at Week 12

    The CAT is a validated 8-items questionnaire developed for use in routine clinical practice to measure the health status of participants with COPD. Participants rate their experience on a 6-point scale, ranging from 0 (no impairment) to 5 (maximum impairment), higher score indicates greater impairment. A total CAT score was calculated by summing the non-missing scores of the eight items with a scoring range of 0 (no disease impact) to 40 (maximum disease impact). Higher scores indicated greater disease impact. Baseline was defined as the latest pre-dose of Trelegy assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. Change from Baseline (CFB) was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and at Week 12

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change From Baseline in Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Grading System at Week 12 (Patient Version)

    mMRC(Patient Version[Pt.V]) was used to assess breathlessness state of participant before and after treatment. mMRC (Pt V) was completed by each participant firstly, without supervision.Participants were scored on a scale of 0 (no impact) to 4(worst possible impact) depending on their disability due to shortness of breath. Higher scores indicated greater disease impact;where 0=only get breathless with strenuous exercise;1=get short of breath when hurrying on the level/walking up a slight hill;2=walk slower than people of same age on the level because of breathlessness/have to stop for breath when walking at own pace on the level;3=stop for breath after walking about 100 yards/after a few minutes on the level;4=too breathless to leave house/breathless when dressing. Baseline=latest pre-dose of Trelegy assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. Change from Baseline=post-dose visit value minus Baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and at Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline in Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale at Week 12 (Physician Version)

    mMRC(Physician Version[PV]) was used to assess breathlessness state of participant before and after treatment. Physicians completed mMRC(PV) through their observation. Participants were scored on a scale of 0 (no impact) to 4(worst possible impact) depending on their disability due to shortness of breath. Higher scores indicated greater disease impact; where 0=no breathlessness except on strenuous exercise; 1=shortness of breath when hurrying on the level ground or walking up a slight hill; 2=walks slower than people of same age on the level because of breathlessness or has to stop to catch breath when walking at their own pace on the level; 3=stops for breath after walking about 100 yards or after few minutes on level ground; 4=too breathless to leave house or breathless when dressing or undressing. Baseline=latest pre-dose of Trelegy assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. Change from Baseline=post-dose visit value minus Baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and at Week 12

  3. Change From Baseline in Pre-dose Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Week 12

    FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. FEV1 was measured using spirometry. Baseline was defined as the latest pre-dose of Trelegy assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and at Week 12

  4. Percentage of Participants Having >=2 Unit Decrease in CAT Score From Baseline at Week 12

    The CAT is a validated 8-items questionnaire developed for use in routine clinical practice to measure the health status of participants with COPD. Participants rate their experience on a 6-point scale, ranging from 0 (no impairment) to 5 (maximum impairment), higher score indicates greater impairment. A total CAT score was calculated by summing the non-missing scores of the eight items with a scoring range of 0 (no disease impact) to 40 (maximum disease impact). Higher scores indicated greater disease impact. Baseline was defined as the latest pre-dose of Trelegy assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. Percentage values are rounded-off. Percentage of participants having >=2 unit decrease in CAT score from Baseline at week 12 has been presented.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and at Week 12

  5. Change From Baseline in COPD Assessment Test (CAT) Score at Week 4

    The CAT is a validated 8-items questionnaire developed for use in routine clinical practice to measure the health status of participants with COPD. Participants rate their experience on a 6-point scale, ranging from 0 (no impairment) to 5 (maximum impairment), higher score indicates greater impairment. A total CAT score was calculated by summing the non-missing scores of the eight items with a scoring range of 0 (no disease impact) to 40 (maximum disease impact). Higher scores indicated greater disease impact. Baseline was defined as the latest pre-dose of Trelegy assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. Change from Baseline (CFB) was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and at Week 4

  6. Number of Participants With Trelegy Related Non-serious Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    Measured: Up to 251 days

  7. Number of Participants With Trelegy Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    A SAE is defined as any serious adverse event that, at any dose; results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via an authorized medicinal product or other situations as judged by physician.

    Measured: Up to 251 days

  8. Number of Participants With Trelegy Related AEs Leading to the Discontinuation

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    Measured: Up to 251 days

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2025. 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.

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?

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 COPD Assessment Test (CAT) Score at Week 12 (time frame: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and 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 NCT05535972, 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 11 Dec 2025.
