E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Original Protocol: The primary objective of this study is to estimate the relative risk of a persistent decline in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) exceeding 20% from baseline among subjects with diabetes randomized to Exubera as compared with those not randomized to Exubera. For both treatment groups, a persistent decline in FEV1 exceeding 20% from baseline is defined as an observed decline in FEV1 exceeding 20% from baseline, 3 months after a confirmed decline in FEV1 exceeding 20% from baseline.
Amendment April 2008: Unless unanticipated large effects emerge, the study will be underpowered to address the primary endpoint. However, the study data will still provide important descriptive information. Assuming the primary and secondary endpoints are underpowered, the risk of each endpoint will be estimated (and have corresponding 95% confidence intervals provided) among subjects randomized to Exubera® and subjects randomized to non-Exubera®. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Original Protocol: The secondary objectives are to compare subjects randomized to Exubera to those not randomized to Exubera to estimate the relative: (1) risk of pulmonary serious adverse event (SAE) composite, including: SAEs of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, or acute bronchitis, (2) risk of all-cause mortality, (3) risk of cardiovascular SAE composite, including: SAEs of cardiovascular mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke, (4) risk of allergic response SAE composite, including: SAEs of anaphylaxis, angioedema, generalized allergic reaction, and allergic bronchospasm, and (5) change in HbA1c from baseline at month 6, and years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the study: 1. Eligible for receiving Exubera treatment based on the approved local label. 2. 18 years or older 3. Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject (or a legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial has been obtained by the enrolling physician 4. The subject is willing to provide information on at least one alternate contact person for study staff to contact regarding subjects whereabouts, should the subject be lost-to-follow- up over the course of the study 5. The subject is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, pulmonary function testing, and laboratory tests |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients presenting with any of the following will not be included in the study: 1. Pregnant or lactating 2. Have a progressive fatal disease or a life expectancy that prohibits them from participating in a five-year research study 3. Have a medical or psychological condition that would prevent completion of a five-year study 4. Have participated in any other studies involving study drugs within 30 days prior to entry in the study 5. Previously enrolled in this study |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
For this study, all subjects are required to undergo spirometric tests to measure pulmonary function according to the approved local label; at baseline, 6 months, 1 year and then yearly thereafter for a total duration of 5 years. If during any follow-up visit known to the enrolling physician a FEV1 decline from baseline exceeding 20% is observed, a confirmatory spirometry test must be performed 3-4 weeks later. If the confirmatory spirometry verifies a decline in FEV1 from baseline exceeding 20%, Exubera therapy must be discontinued in subjects treated with Exubera (per the SmPC/USPI), and the subject should undergo another follow-up spirometry in 3 months.
A persistent decline in FEV1 exceeding 20% at the 3-month follow-up spirometry, deems the subject to have reached the primary endpoint (see Study Design Flowchart in Appendix 1.2 of the protocol). When a subject reaches the primary endpoint, he/she should be referred to a pulmonologist.
Several secondary endpoints will also be evaluated: (1) pulmonary serious adverse event (SAE) composite, including: SAEs of asthma, COPD, pneumonia, or acute bronchitis, (2) all-cause mortality, (3) cardiovascular SAE composite, including: SAEs of cardiovascular mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke, (4) allergic response SAE composite, including: SAEs of anaphylaxis, angioedema, generalized allergic reaction, and allergic bronchospasm, and (5) change in HbA1c from baseline at month 6, and years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (see Appendix 1.3 of the protocol). |
