Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Percentage of Participants With Zero Errors After 28 Days of Inhaler Use in Each Treatment Phase (Primary Estimand: Hypothetical)
Time Frame: Up to Day 56
|
A checklist for correct use of each inhaler was developed in Patient Instruction Leaflets (PIL's).
Participants were guided by trained health care provider (HCP) to demonstrate correct use of inhaler.
Baseline assessment was conducted when participant initially dispensed the inhaler.
Second assessment was conducted after each 28day dosing period.
Correct Use Check list was completed by HCP at each visit.
Primary hypothetical estimand is the estimate of treatment effect of all participants who stayed on their randomized study device sequence and did not change their standard COPD maintenance medication device to one delivered via ELLIPTA, DISKUS or HANDIHALER, throughout both 28 day treatment periods.
Participants could attend visit without the device/s they were randomised to, in which case correct use cannot be assessed as described in the protocol.
Participants who completed error assessments for both randomized treatment groups and experienced no intercurrent events were included

Change in Errors Per Participant for Each Treatment Group After 28 Days of Use
Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 28 of each treatment group

Assessment of errors was conducted by HCP trained in the correct inhaler use of the three inhalers based on the checklist of errors.
The median number of overall errors made by per participant was assessed for ELLIPTA and DISKUS + HandiHaler both on Day 1 and Day 28 for each treatment group.
The difference was calculated by subtracting values of Day 28 from Day1 for each treatment regimen.
