About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, 16-Week Study to Evaluate the Effect of Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol DISKUS® 250/50mcg BID and Placebo on Arterial Stiffness in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) if Advair DISKUS™ 250/50mcg BID modifies arterial stiffness which is a measure associated with risk of heart disease.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the effect of Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol DISKUS 250/50mcg (FSC) BID on arterial stiffness in COPD subjects. Following a 1 to 14 day run-in period, approximately 250 subjects will be randomly assigned to double-blind treatment for 12 weeks. After the 12 week treatment period, subjects in both treatment arms will receive open label Tiotropium bromide Handihaler18mcg (Tio)QD for 4 weeks in addition to their continued study drug (either FSC250/50 or placebo). The primary measure of efficacy is Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) at Endpoint. Secondary efficacy measures include Augmentation Index (AIx), Biomarkers of cardiovascular disease, measures of lung function. (e.g. FEV1). Safety will be assessed through the collection of adverse events and COPD exacerbations. Exploratory endpoints include the effect of Tiotropium on PWV and AIx when added to placebo or FSC. Treatment groups will be stratified based on current smoking status. There will be a total of 6 study visits (screening, randomization, and after 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks of treatment). A follow-up phone contact for collection of adverse event and pregnancy information (if applicable) will be conducted approximately 14 days following the last study visit.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ADVAIR DISKUS™ 250/50mcgDrug

    ADVAIR DISKUS™ 250/50mcg is indicated for the twice-daily maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. ADVAIR DISKUS™ 250/50mcg is also indicated to reduce exacerbations of COPD in patients with a history of exacerbations.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (aPWV) at the 12-Week Endpoint

    The 12-week Endpoint is defined as the last scheduled measurement of PWV during the 12-week double-blind treatment period (from Visits 3-5; Weeks 4, 8, and 12, respectively), and Baseline is defined as the PWV measure from Visit 2 (Randomization). Change from Baseline was calculated as the Endpoint value minus the Baseline Value. PWV is used as a measure of arterial stiffness, which is a measure of the cushioning functioning of major vessels like the aorta. The velocity of the PW along an artery is dependent on the stiffness of that artery.

    Measured: Baseline and the 12-Week Endpoint (up to Week 12)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Augmentation Index (AIx) at the 12-Week Endpoint

    AIx is a surrogate measure of peripheral (not aortic) arterial resistance and is measured by analysis of the pulse wave at the radial artery. AIx = ([delta P/Pulse Pressure] x 100); delta P is defined by a notch near the peak of the pulse wave. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Endpoint value minus the Baseline Value.

    Measured: Baseline and the 12-Week Endpoint (up to Week 12)

  2. Mean Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) at the 12-Week Endpoint

    FEV1 is a measure of air flow via spirometry. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Endpoint value minus the Baseline Value.

    Measured: Baseline and the 12-Week Endpoint (up to Week 12)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ADVAIR DISKUS™ 250/50mcg in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 24 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Dec 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Change From Baseline in Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (aPWV) at the 12-Week Endpoint (time frame: Baseline and the 12-Week Endpoint (up to Week 12)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00857766, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jan 2017.
