FF/UMEC/VI Inhaler: Qualitative Analysis and Subject Preference Survey

March 5, 2020 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

FF/UMEC/VI: Qualitative Interviews and Discrete Choice Experiment(s) Evaluating the Perceived Benefits of the Features of FF/UMEC/VI (Single Inhaler Triple Therapy) Treatment in the UK, US and Germany

Three main classes of inhaled treatment exist for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Beta2-adrenergic agonists (which may be short (SABA) or long (LABA) acting), long-acting muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists (LAMA), and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). For subjects at higher risk of exacerbation, treatment with all these three classes of medication is recommended. This study aims to explore the potential utility of a device called single inhaler triple combination or fluticasone furoate/ umeclidinium/ vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) inhaler containing all three groups of compound. This is a mixed methods study with a qualitative phase and a quantitative Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) phase and will be conducted in four stages: qualitative concept elicitation, DCE development, DCE piloting and testing, and conduct of the DCE. The study will conducted in the United Kingdom (UK), United States (US) and Germany and approximately 573 subjects with COPD will be included.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Subjects included in telephone interviews
Approximately 10 subjects with COPD per country will be included in qualitative concept elicitation telephone interviews.
Other: Telephone interviews
Qualitative concept elicitation telephone interviews will be conducted in subjects with COPD to explore treatment effectiveness, symptoms, quality of life, and features of treatment that are considered to be most important to them when making treatment choices.
Subjects included in in-person focus groups
1 in-person focus-group per country including up to 5 subjects with COPD will be included in the qualitative analysis.
Other: In-person focus groups
Qualitative concept elicitation in-person focus groups will be conducted in subjects with COPD to explore treatment effectiveness, symptoms, quality of life, and features of treatment that are considered to be most important to them when making treatment choices.
Subjects included in DCE surveys- cognitive interviews
Up to six subjects with COPD in each of the UK, US and Germany will be asked to complete and provide feedback on the surveys.
Other: DCE surveys- cognitive interviews
Draft version of the DCE surveys will be tested with subjects in cognitive interviews to explore the saliency of the attribute choices and assess whether the attributes are understandable, meaningful and comprehensive.
Subjects included in modified DCEs
Up to 20 subjects with COPD in each country will be included in pilot testing of the modified DCEs.
Other: Modified DCE
The modified DCEs will be piloted with subjects with COPD in each country to refine the underlying design and ensure that information is collected in an efficient way to enable the statistical analysis to be as precise as possible.
Subjects included in Final DCE
150 subjects with COPD in each of the UK, US and Germany will be included in the final online market specific DCE survey.
Other: Online DCE survey
An online DCE survey questionnaire will be given to the subjects to identify subject preferences, priorities and treatment goals.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluation of the key relevant attributes of COPD treatment
Time Frame: Up to 368 hours
The key attributes considered to be most important to subjects with COPD when making treatment choices will be assessed using the data from the subject interviews and focus groups.
Up to 368 hours
Evaluation of the preferences, priorities and treatment goals of subjects with COPD for inhaled treatments
Time Frame: Up to 368 hours
The probability of choosing one treatment over another will be evaluated using DCE survey questionnaire.
Up to 368 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Time Frame
Assessment of the relative appeal of different treatment approaches
Time Frame: Up to 371 hours
The burden of COPD, priorities in terms of symptoms and treatment effect, goals and preferences of subjects will be analyzed.
Up to 371 hours
Estimation of the relative importance of each attribute
Time Frame: Up to 371 hours
