About this study

Official title: Comparative Effectiveness of Combination Therapies in COPD

To assess the effectiveness of maintenance treatment of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with the combination of a long-acting bronchodilators (LABA and the long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) tiotropium (LABA-TIO)) compared with the combination of a LABA and an ICS (LABA-ICS) on the time to COPD exacerbation.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Observed Patients With First Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbation to Occur After Cohort Entry

    The number of observed patients with first COPD exacerbation after cohort entry was reported. The event of time to first COPD exacerbation to occur after cohort entry was defined as a hospitalization for COPD (severe exacerbation) or the prescription of an oral corticosteroid, namely prednisolone (moderate exacerbation) to occur after cohort entry with one-year follow-up, from the as-treated analysis.

    Measured: 12 Years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The Rate of COPD Exacerbations

    Incidence rates and rate ratios of the moderate or severe exacerbation associated with LABA-TIO relative to LABA-ICS in patients with COPD, with one-year follow-up, from the as-treated analysis, estimated.

    Measured: 12 years

  2. The Occurrence of the First Hospitalization for Community-acquired Pneumonia (Serious Pneumonia)

    The number of the first occurences of the hospitalization for community-acquired pneumonia (serious pneumonia)associated with LABA-TIO relative to LABA-ICS in patients with COPD, with one-year follow-up, from the as-treated analysis and from the time-dependent on-treatment analysis based on current exposure is presented. On-treatment exposure was based on analysis of current use during the entire 1-year follow-up, allowing patients to switch treatments.

    Measured: 12 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in Canada.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 24 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Jul 2019). 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?

The Number of Observed Patients With First Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbation to Occur After Cohort Entry (time frame: 12 Years). 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 24 Jul 2019.
