Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objective of the trial is to compare the lung function profile of once daily treatment with Tiotropium+Olodaterol (Tio+Olo) Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) [2.5/5μg and 5/5μg] delivered by the Respimat® with the lung function profile of twice daily treatment with Fluticasone propionate+Salmeterol (F+S) FDC [250/50μg and 500/50μg] delivered by the Accuhaler® after 6 weeks of treatment in patients with COPD.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Rescue medication was allowed for all patients as required.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This was a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, 4-treatment, 4-period, complete cross-over design. The treatments were A: T+O 2.5/5; B: T+O 5/5; C: F+S 250/50; D: F+S 500/50. ABCD, BDAC, CADB, and DCBA were four treatment sequences.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    All subjects were screened for eligibility to participate in trial. Subjects attended specialist sites to ensure that they met all implemented inclusion/exclusion criteria. Subjects were not randomised to trial drug if any of the specific entry criteria was violated. In this study, 288 subjects were enrolled.

    Notes
    [1] - Period 1 is not the baseline period. It is expected that period 1 will be the baseline period.
    Justification: In this study, Period 1 evaluates by sequence and baseline characteristics is defined based on overall trial by treatment period, thus period 2 was selected as a baseline period to define the baseline characteristics of this trial.

    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period is not equal to the worldwide number of subjects enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.

    Trough FEV1 Change from Patient Baseline after 6 Weeks of Treatment
    End point description
    Change from patient baseline in trough Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) after 6 weeks of treatment. Trough FEV1 was defined as the mean of the 23h and 23h 50min (minutes) post-dose FEV1 measurements. Measured values presented are actually adjusted means. The period baseline is defined as the pre-dose measurement taken at on the day 1 of each period. The patient baseline is defined as the mean of non-missing period baselines for each patient.

    [57] - The actual number of subjects analyzed is 215. As this is a cross over study and arms are not mutually exclusive, the pre-specified, automatically calculated number that is provided in the statistical analysis (425) does not reflect the actual number. Difference calculated as T+O 2.5/5 / F+S placebo - F+S 250/50 / T+O placebo adjusted mean FEV1 peak (0−3h) change from patient baseline (L).

    Statistical analysis title
    Statistical analysis 4
    Statistical analysis description
    The adjusted mean (SE) are obtained from fitting an MMRM model including fixed effects of treatment and period; period baseline and patient baseline as covariates; patient as a random effect; compound symmetry covariance structure for within−patient variation and Kenward−Roger approximation of denominator degrees of freedom.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    25 Apr 2014
    Global Amendment 1 included clarifications and administrative changes that did not require IRB/IEC/CA approval prior to implementation. Weather station, Accuhaler training and visit 10 for pregnancy testing was added. “patients taking Tiotropium prior to study entry” was changed to ”patients taking a LAMA prior to study entry”. Update with data from Phase III studies and Tiospir results. Further clarification of medication restrictions, dosing times and “rescheduling prior to randomisation” was provided. All hypotheses were changed to two-sided hypotheses with alpha=0.05. Handling of missing data and provided more details in the TSAP. Definition of period baseline was updated, correction to listedness section and comparator SPC was added.
    04 Feb 2015
    Amendment 2 was a change in the hierarchical testing strategy. The testing hierarchy was modified such that the primary and key secondary endpoints were first tested on the Tio+Olo 5/5 μg dose followed by the Tio+Olo 2.5/5 μg dose because Tio+Olo 5/5 μg was the dose planned for marketing. Global Amendment 2 did not require IRB/IEC/CA approval prior to implementation.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    1 subject with missing information for number of enrolled subjects has been included in age range Elderly (From 65-84 years) as the missing category is not available. Update initiated unnecessarily; Results in version 1 and version 2 are same.
