E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of two doses of CHF6001 add-on to maintenance triple therapy (ICS, LABA, LAMA) to reduce the rate of moderate and severe exacerbations after 52 weeks of treatment in comparison with maintenance triple therapy (i.e. placebo arm). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate -the efficacy of the two doses of CHF6001 add-on to maintenance triple therapy on health related quality of life after 52 weeks of treatment (change in SGRQ total score). -the efficacy of the two doses of CHF6001 add-on to maintenance triple therapy on lung function, health-related quality of life, severe exacerbations in the pooled analysis of CLI-06001AA1-04 Main cohort (excluding subjects enrolled in China) and CLI-06001AA1-05 studies and other clinical outcome measures in comparison with maintenance triple therapy -the safety and tolerability of the two doses of CHF6001

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Pharmacokinetic variables A subset of about 240 randomized subjects (80 expected in each treatment group) will be selected in order to reach about 60 evaluable subjects for each CHF6001 dose treatment. PK parameters will be estimated by measurement of CHF6001 plasma levels in a subset of subjects at different timepoints (pre-dose and over 8 hours post-dose) on V2 (Day 0) and V5 (week 26) and at pre-dose only on V4 (week12) and V6 (week 40). Exclusion criteria for the subset of subjects undergoing PK assessments 1. Subjects with unsuitable veins for repeated venopuncture. 2. Blood donation (excluding plasma donations) or blood loss equal or more than 450 mL less than 2 months prior to screening

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1.Males and females aged ≥ 40 years with written informed consent obtained prior to any study-related procedure. 2.Females are eligible to enter the study if they are of a.non-childbearing potential or b.childbearing potential, they must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and must agree to use one or more of the acceptable contraceptive measures. 3.Subjects with an established diagnosis of COPD with chronic bronchitis 4.Current smokers or ex-smokers who quit smoking at least 6 months prior to screening visit, with a smoking history of at least 10 pack years. 5.A post-bronchodilator FEV1 < 60% of the subject predicted normal value and a post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio < 0.7 after 400µg (4 puffs x 100µg) of salbutamol pMDI or equivalent dose of albuterol pMDI in the US. 6.A documented history (e.g. medical record verification) of at least one moderate or severe COPD exacerbation in previous year. 7.Symptomatic subject at screening defined as having a CAT score ≥ 8.Subjects prescribed with maintenance triple therapy (free or fixed combination of ICS, LABA, LAMA) according to GOLD 2020 recommendations for at least 12 months prior to screening and receiving regular maintenance triple therapy for at least 3 months prior to the Screening visit. 9.Subjects are willing and able to be trained to use correctly the DPI inhalers (NEXThaler®). 10.Subjects are willing and able to be trained to use correctly the electronic devices with COPD questionnaires, to understand and to perform required outcome measurements of the protocol (e.g. spirometry manoeuvres etc.) and ability to understand the risks involved.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1.Subjects with a diagnosis of current asthma. 2.Subjects with a moderate or severe COPD exacerbation 4 weeks prior to study entry and during run-in period. 3..Pregnant and lactating women. 4.Subjects requiring long term (at least 15 hours daily) oxygen therapy for chronic hypoxemia. 5.Subjects with known α-1 antitrypsin deficiency as the underlying cause of COPD 6.Subjects with primary diagnosis of emphysema not related to COPD. 7.Subjects with clinically significant respiratory disorders other than COPD. 8.Subjects with lung volume reduction surgery. 9.Subjects having lung cancer or a history of lung cancer with full recovery less than 1 year after completing cancer therapy 10.Subjects with active cancer or a history of cancer (other than the lung) with full recovery less than 1 year after completing cancer therapy or any untreated localized carcinoma 11.Subjects with a history of allergy or hypersensitivity to anticholinergics, β2-agonists, corticosteroids, PDE-4 inhibitors or any of the excipients contained in any of the formulations used in the trial or a medical condition such as narrow-angle glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy or bladder neck obstruction that in the investigator’s opinion would contra-indicate study participation. 12.Subjects under Roflumilast treatment within 6 months before study entry 13.Subjects with a diagnosis of depression, generalised anxiety disorder, suicidal ideation or behaviour that might, according to the investigator judgement, place the subject at undue risk. 14.Subjects who have clinically significant cardiovascular condition. 15.An abnormal and clinically significant 12-lead ECG finding in relation to the subject’s medical history that results in active medical problem which may impact the safety of the subject according to investigator’s judgement. 16.Subjects with a significant neurological disease including transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke, seizure disorder or behavioural disturbances that in investigator’s opinion, would place the subject at risk by participating to the study. For complete list of exclusion criteria, please refer to the protocol. |
