E. General Information on the Trial

E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation

E.1.1

Medical condition(s) being investigated

MedDRA Classification

E.1.2 Medical condition or disease under investigation

E.1.2	Version	9.1
E.1.2	Level	LLT
E.1.2	Classification code	10009033
E.1.2	Term	Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

E.1.3

E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

To assess whether the time of dosing (a.m. or p.m.) at steady state influences the bronchodilator response of aclidinium bromide compared to placebo in patients with moderate to severe COPD.

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

To further evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of aclidinium bromide in moderate to severe COPD patients.

E.2.3

Trial contains a sub-study

E.3

Principal inclusion criteria

For inclusion and randomisation in the trial, patients must meet each of the following criteria:

1. Males and non-pregnant, non-lactating females aged ≥ 40. Women of childbearing potential are allowed to enter the trial ONLY if they use one medically approved (i.e., mechanical or pharmacological) contraceptive measure. A female is considered to be of childbearing potential unless she has had a hysterectomy, is at least one year post-menopausal or has undergone tubal ligation. All women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at the screening visit.

2. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of COPD, according to the GOLD guidelines: (http://www.goldcopd.com) and stable airway obstruction.

3. Patients with a post salbutamol FEV1 equal to or greater than 30% of the predicted value and less than 80% of the predicted value (i.e., 30% ≤ 100xobserved post-salbutamol FEV1/ predicted FEV1 <80%)

4. Post-salbutamol FEV1/FVC < 70% at screening visit (i.e,. 100xpost-salbutamol FEV1/FVC < 70%).

5. Current, or ex-cigarette smokers with a smoking history of at least 10 pack-years.
Pack-years are calculated by dividing the number of cigarettes smoked per day by 20 (the number of cigarettes in a pack) and multiplying this figure by the number of years a person has smoked. For example, a person who smokes 40 cigarettes a day and has smoked for 10 years would have a 20 pack-year smoking history (40 cigarettes per day ¸ 20 cigarettes per pack = 2; 2 x 10 years of smoking = 20 pack-years history). Patients smoking other tobacco types will not be allowed, unless they meet the cigarette criterion as well.

6. Patients who are eligible and able to participate in the trial and who consent to do so in writing after the purpose and nature of the investigation have been explained to them.

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

Patients randomised into the trial must not present any of the following conditions:

1. History or current diagnosis of asthma, allergic rhinitis or atopy.

2. Eosinophil count ≥ 600 cells/mm3.

3. A respiratory tract infection (including the upper respiratory tract) or COPD exacerbation in the six weeks prior to the screening visit. Patients who develop a respiratory tract infection or exacerbation during the screening period will be discontinued from the trial prior to randomisation.

4. Patients who have been hospitalised for an acute COPD exacerbation in the 3 months prior to screening visit.

5. Use of long-term oxygen therapy (≥ 15 hours/day).

6. Clinically significant respiratory conditions defined as:
· Known active tuberculosis.
· History of interstitial lung or pulmonary thromboembolic disease.
· Pulmonary resection during the past 12 months.
· History of life-threatening COPD.
· History of any bronchiectasis secondary to respiratory diseases others than COPD (e.g., cystic fibrosis, Kartagener’s syndrome, etc).
· Patients who in the investigator’s opinion may need pulmonary rehabilitation or a thoracotomy during the trial. Patients on a stable pulmonary rehabilitation program prior to entry and anticipated to be stable throughout the study can be enrolled.
· Lung cancer

7. Clinically significant cardiovascular conditions defined as:
·Myocardial infarction during the last 6 months.
·Unstable arrhythmia which has required changes in the pharmacological therapy or other intervention during the last 12 months, or newly diagnosed arrhythmia within the previous 3 months.
· Hospitalisation within the previous 12 months for heart failure functional classes III (marked limitation of activity and only comfortable at rest) and IV (need of complete rest, confinement to bed or chair, discomfort at any physical activity and presence of symptoms at rest) as per the New York Heart Association.

8. Patients for whom the use of anticholinergic drugs is contraindicated: those with a known symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy, bladder neck obstruction or narrow-angle glaucoma.

9. Patients with any other serious or uncontrolled physical or mental dysfunction which at the discretion of the investigator could place the patient at higher risk derived from his/her participation in the study, could confound the results of the trial, or is likely to prevent the patient from complying with the requirements of the trial or completing the trial period.

10. QTc [calculated according to Bazett’s formula (QTc=QT/RR1/2) above 470 milliseconds in any of the ECGs performed at screening visit or at visit 1 (Day -1).

11. Patients who can not perform repeatable spirometry attempts at the screening visit.

12. History of untoward reactions to inhaled anticholinergics, sympathomimetic amines or inhaled medication or any component thereof (including report of paradoxical bronchospasm).

13. Patients unable to properly use a dry powder or pMDI inhaler device or unable to perform acceptable spirometry.

14. Clinically relevant abnormalities laboratory, ECG parameters (other than QTc), or physical examination results at the screening evaluation that in the investigator’s opinion, preclude study participation.

15. Patients who intend to use any concomitant medication not permitted by this protocol or who have not undergone the required washout period for a particular prohibited medication (see section 10.3.2).

16. Patients with a history of drug and/or alcohol abuse that may prevent compliance with trial activities.

17. Treatment with any Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) within 1 month prior to the screening visit or the equivalent time of 6 half-lives of the IMP, whichever is longer.

18. Patients who do not maintain regular day/night, waking/sleeping cycles (e.g., history of sleep apnoea syndrome, any disease related with sleep disturbances such as restless-legs syndrome or somnambulism…). Moreover, night shift workers will be excluded.

19. Patients who are unlikely to be co-operative, take their medication, complete their patient diary or attend the clinic at the required times.
