Women of childbearing potential are allowed to enter the trial if they show to have a negative serum pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and are using, during the last two months before the Screening Visit, at least one medically approved and highly effective method of birth control defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, oral contraceptives combined with at least one barrier method, hormonal Intrauterine Devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence or vasectomy of the partner.
  • Current or ex-cigarette smoker, with a smoking history of at least 10 pack-years.
  • Patient with a clinical diagnosis of stable COPD according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Lung Disease "GOLD" Guidelines at the Screening Visit.
  • Patient whose FEV1/FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) at the Screening Visit measured between 10-15 minutes post inhalation of 400 micrograms of salbutamol is < 70% (i.e., 100 x Post-salbutamol FEV1 /FVC < 70%).
  • Patient with a diagnosis of moderate to severe COPD according to the GOLD Guidelines classification (stages II and III) at the Screening Visit: FEV1 measured between 10-15 minutes post inhalation of 400 micro grams of salbutamol is 30% < FEV1 < 80% of the predicted normal value (i.e., 100 x Post-salbutamol FEV1/ Predicted FEV1 must be < 80% and ≥ 30%).
  • Patient must be able to perform repeatable pulmonary function testing for FEV1 according to American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society "ATS/ERS" 2005 criteria at Screening Visit.
  • Patient who is eligible and able to participate in the trial and who consent to do so in writing after the purpose and nature of the investigation have been explained.

Who cannot join

  • Clinically significant cardiovascular conditions defined as:
  • Myocardial infarction within the 6 months prior to screening.
  • Thoracic surgery within 12 months prior to screening.
  • Unstable angina or unstable arrhythmia which had required changes in the pharmacological therapy or other intervention within 12 months prior to screening, or newly diagnosed arrhythmia within the previous 3 months prior to screening.
  • Hospitalisation within 12 months prior to screening for heart failure functional classes III (marked limitation of activity and only comfortable at rest) and IV (need of complete rest, confinement to bed or chair, discomfort at any physical activity and presence of symptoms at rest) as per the New York Heart Association.
  • Patients (with or without pharmacological therapy) with resting systolic blood pressure (SBP)
  • ≥200 mmHg, a resting diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥120 mmHg, or a resting heart rate ≥105 beats per minute (bpm) at screening and at Visit 1 prior to randomisation.
  • Patients with interval corrected for heart rate "QTc" [calculated according to formulae (QTc=QT/RR1/2) > 470 msec as indicated in the centralised reading report assessed at Screening Visit.
  • Patients with clinically relevant abnormalities in the clinical laboratory tests, ECG parameters (other than QT interval corrected using Bazett's formula [QTcB]) or in the physical examination at screening, if the abnormality defined a disease state listed as exclusion criteria, except for those related to COPD.

  • Current diagnosis of cancer other than basal or squamous cell skin cancer.
  • Life expectancy of less than 1 year.
  • Patients with any other serious or uncontrolled physical or mental dysfunction that, as judged by the Investigator, could have placed the patient at higher risk from his/her participation in the study, could have confounded the results of the study, or is likely to prevent the patient from complying with the requirements of the study, or completing the study.
  • Patients with a history (within 2 years prior to screening) of drug and/or alcohol abuse that might have prevented study compliance based on the Investigator judgment.

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

  1. Change From Baseline in 1-hour Morning Post-dose Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1)

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24

  2. Change From Baseline in Morning Pre-dose (Trough) Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1)

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Transition Dyspnoea Index (TDI) Focal Score

    Evaluation of dyspnea was performed by an independent interviewer experienced in taking a respiratory history The TDI includes three categories: functional impairment which determines the impact of breathlessness on the ability to perform activities, magnitude of task which determines the type of task that caused breathlessness and magnitude of effort which establishes the level of effort needed to evoke breathlessness Each category ranges from minus three (-3; major deterioration) to plus three (+3; major improvement) including a zero (0) score to indicate 'no change' The three categories are totalled to obtain a focal score (total score) ranging from minus nine (-9), including zero (0), to plus nine (+9) Provision is made for circumstances when dyspnoea could not be rated - if reduction of activities, effort or functional impairment was caused by reasons other than respiratory A change of 1 unit in TDI is used as the criterion for a minimal meaningful improvement

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24

  2. Change From Baseline in St. George´s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score

    SGRQ is a standardised, self-administered tool for measuring impaired health and perceived well-being in respiratory diseases; a validated electronic version of the questionnaire in the relevant validated languages was used in this study The questionnaire contains 50 items divided into three dimensions (Symptoms, Activity and Impact) Each of the three dimensions of the questionnaire is scored separately in the range from 0 to 100: zero (0) score indicating no impairment of quality of life The total SGRQ score ranging from 0 to 100 is a summary score utilising responses to all items calculated using weights attached to each item of the questionnaire Higher scores indicate poorer health and change of 4 units in the SGRQ has been determined to be the threshold for a clinically relevant change in health status

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Aclidinium Bromide/Formoterol Fumarate, Aclidinium Bromide and Formoterol Fumarate in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by AstraZeneca at 197 sites in 22 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 38 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 15 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 197 sites in Germany, Poland, United Kingdom, Hungary, Ukraine and 17 more countries. 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 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 15 Feb 2017). 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?

Change From Baseline in 1-hour Morning Post-dose Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) (time frame: Baseline and Week 24). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01462942, which also lists 4 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 15 Feb 2017.
