What is being measured

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

Proportion (Percentage) of Individuals Who Experience a 4 Unit Improvement in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) at 12 Weeks and do Not Meet Criteria for Treatment Failure During the 12 Week Treatment Period
Measured by units of improvement in SGRQ scores at Baseline and 12 weeks, as well as review of treatment failure status at 4 weeks and 12 weeks of treatment (treatment failure is defined by an increase in lower respiratory symptoms necessitating treatment with active, long-acting inhaled bronchodilator, corticosteroids or antibiotics).
A 4 unit change is the minimum clinically important difference. SGRQ has a 0 - 100 score; 0 as low symptoms (feeling better) and 100 as high symptoms (feeling worse).
Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (13)

Proportion of Individuals With a 2 Unit Improvement in CAT Without Treatment Failure
Proportion of individuals with a 2 unit improvement in CAT without treatment failure
Measured: 12 weeks
Proportion of Individuals With a 1 Unit Improvement in the BDI/TDI Without Treatment Failure
Proportion of individuals with a 1 unit improvement in the BDI/TDI without treatment failure
Measured: 12 weeks
Proportion of Individuals With Both a 4 Unit Improvement in SGRQ and a 1 Unit Improvement in BDI/TDI Without Treatment Failure
Measured by units of improvement in SGRQ scores at Baseline and 12 weeks, as well as review of treatment failure status at 4 weeks and 12 weeks of treatment (treatment failure is defined by an increase in lower respiratory symptoms necessitating treatment with active, long-acting inhaled bronchodilator, corticosteroids or antibiotics).
Measured: 12 weeks
Mean Change in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)
Value at 12 Weeks Minus Baseline. SGRQ has a 0 - 100 score; 0 as low symptoms (feeling better) and 100 as high symptoms (feeling worse).
Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks
Mean Change in COPD Assessment Test (CAT)
Value at 12 Weeks Minus Baseline. 0 - 40; 0 as low symptoms (feeling better) and 40 as high symptoms (feeling worse).
Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks
Mean Change in Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI)/Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI)
Value at 12 Weeks Minus Baseline.
Measured: 12 Weeks
Area Under the Curve (AUC) 0-3 Hours for FEV1
FEV1 AUC0-3h was calculated as the area under the FEV1-time curve from 0 to 3h post-dose using the trapezoidal rule, divided by the duration (3h) to report in liters.
Measured: At 12 weeks, FEV1 is measured at 1-hour intervals for 3 hours
Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume Per 1 Second (FEV1) - Absolute Value
Trough FEV1 at 12 week minus trough FEV1 at baseline.
Measured: Baseline to 12 Weeks
Change From Baseline in 12 Hour Trough Inspiratory Capacity - Absolute Value
Change from baseline in 12 hour trough inspiratory capacity - absolute value
Measured: Baseline
Symptoms and Rescue Medication Use Based on Daily Diary
Percentage of days with symptoms (shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing, cough, or sputum) or use of albuterol
Measured: During study follow-up (Baseline to 12 weeks)
Treatment Failure Defined by Increase in Lower Respiratory Symptoms Necessitating Treatment With Active, Long-acting Inhaled Bronchodilator, Corticosteroids or Antibiotics
Treatment failure defined by increase in lower respiratory symptoms necessitating treatment with active, long-acting inhaled bronchodilator, corticosteroids or antibiotics
Measured: During study follow-up (baseline to 12 Weeks)
Change From Baseline in Trough FEV1 - % Predicted
Trough FEV1 at 12 week minus trough FEV1 at baseline.
Measured: Baseline to 12 Weeks
Change in FEF25-75%
FEF25-75%-Forced expiratory flow over the middle one half of the FVC; the average flow from the point at which 25 percent of the FVC has been exhaled to the point at which 75 percent of the FVC has been exhaled.
Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

Primary outcome: Proportion (Percentage) of Individuals Who Experience a 4 Unit Improvement in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) at 12 Weeks and do Not Meet Criteria for Treatment Failure During the 12 Week Treatment Period

Time frame: Baseline and 12 weeks. Count of participants. Unit: Participants

Measure	Indacaterol/Glycopyrrolate n = 227	Placebo n = 244
Value	128	144

Indacaterol/Glycopyrrolate vs Placebo: Odds Ratio (OR): 0.91 (95% CI 0.60 to 1.37), p = 0.65, Generalized Estimating Equation

Population analysed: In the treatment arm, 5 subjects had primary efficacy assessment \>=4 weeks after the last visit that were not included in the mITT (233 - 5 = 228). One additional subject was missing SGRQ at final visit (228 - 1 = 227). In the placebo arm, 5 subjects had primary efficacy assessment \>=4 weeks after the last visit that were not included in the mITT (248 - 5 = 243). An additional person did not complete final visit but had treatment failure so are still included in mITT (243 + 1 = 244).

13 secondary outcomes are reported in the full results.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Indacaterol/Glycopyrrolate in people with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), run by University of Michigan at 16 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 19 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 13 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 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 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 30 Aug 2022). 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?

Proportion (Percentage) of Individuals Who Experience a 4 Unit Improvement in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) at 12 Weeks and do Not Meet Criteria for Treatment Failure During the 12 Week Treatment Period (time frame: Baseline and 12 weeks). 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 NCT02867761, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Apr 2023.
