E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy of QMF149 (150/160 μg o.d.) delivered via Concept1 device compared with salmeterol xinafoate/fluticasone propionate (50/500 μg b.i.d.) delivered via Accuhaler® in patients with COPD. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of QMF149 compared with salmeterol
xinafoate/fluticasone propionate in terms pulmonary function.
To evaluate the efficacy of QMF149 compared with salmeterol
xinafoate/fluticasone propionate in terms of Transitional Dyspnoea Index (TDI) focal score, St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and Rescue medication usage.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of QMF149 and salmeterol
xinafoate/fluticasone propionate during 12 weeks of treatment. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Patients with moderate to very severe COPD (GOLD 2 to GOLD 4) according to the 2011 GOLD Guidelines
2. Patients with a post-bronchodilator FEV1 < 70% of the predicted normal, and a post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 0.70 at run-in (Visit 101).
3. Current or ex-smokers who have a smoking history of at least 10 pack years (defined as the number of packs of 20 cigarettes smoked per day multiplied by number of years the patient smoked. e.g.10 pack years = 1 pack /day x 10 yrs, or
½ pack/day x 20 yrs). An ex-smoker may be defined as a subject who has not smoked for ≥ 6 months at screening.
*Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Patients who have had a COPD exacerbation that required treatment with antibiotics and/or oral corticosteroids and/or hospitalization in the 6 weeks prior to screening (Visit 1).
2. Patients who develop a COPD exacerbation between screening (Visit 1) and treatment (Visit 201) will not be eligible but will be permitted to be re-screened after a minimum of 6 weeks after the resolution of the COPD exacerbation.
3. Patients who have had a respiratory tract infection within 4 weeks prior to screening Visit 1.
4. Patients who develop a respiratory tract infection between screening (Visit 1) and treatment (Visit 201) will not be eligible, but will be permitted to be rescreened 4 weeks after the resolution of the respiratory tract infection.
5. Patients requiring long term oxygen therapy prescribed for >12 hours per day.
6. Patients with, a) any history of asthma or, b) onset of respiratory symptoms prior to age 40 years.
*Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply
