  9. Number of COPD Exacerbations Over the Treatment Period

    A Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbation was defined as worsening in COPD symptoms requiring treatment with either a course of systemic steroid or hospitalisation. Number of COPD exacerbation during 52-week randomization treatment was presented here.

    Measured: Daily during 52-week randomization treatment

  10. Use of SABA (Salbutamol) as Reliever Medication

    The change from Run-in period average to Treatment period average for each treatment group.

  11. St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score

    SGRQ total score shows the impact of COPD on patient's health status, and expressed as a percentage of impairment with scale from 0 (best health status) to 100 (worst possible status). A negative rate of decline shows decreasing SGRQ total score (or improved health) over time, while a positive value shows increasing score (or worsen health). The change from Run-in period average to Treatment period average for each treatment group

    Measured: Daily during run-in period (14 - 18 days before Randomisation visit ) and daily during 52-week randomization treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Formoterol (OT) in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by AstraZeneca at 27 sites in Japan.

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 3 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 4 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 27 sites in Japan. 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 4 Jan 2013). 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?

Clinical Laboratory Test: Haematology -Erythrocytes (time frame: Baseline and week 52). The study lists 28 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 4 Jan 2013.
