A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Incomplete Block, Crossover, Dose Ranging Study to Evaluate the Dose Response of GSK573719 Administered Once or Twice Daily Over 7 Days in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (AC4115321)

The purpose of this study is to further characterize the dose response of GSK573719 at doses of 15.6 micrograms (mcg) to 125 mcg once daily in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Treatment with doses of GSK573719 dosed twice daily will also be included to further evaluate dosing frequency. Treatment with tiotropium (18 mcg) once daily via the Handihaler will be included as an active control. A placebo treatment will be included in order to evaluate absolute treatment effect of the different doses of GSK573719.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Tiotropium; Drug: GSK573719; Drug: GSK573719; Drug: GSK573719; Drug: GSK573719; Drug: GSK573719; Drug: GSK573719; Drug: Placebo

Detailed Description

Inhaled bronchodilators, such as beta 2 agonists and anticholinergics, and inhaled corticosteroids are the mainstays of therapy in patients diagnosed with COPD. Anticholinergic bronchodilators or long acting muscarinic receptor antagonists function by blocking endogenous airway smooth muscle cholinergic tone. Treatment with anticholinergics has been shown to significantly improve forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), resting and dynamic lung hyperinflation, symptoms, and exercise capacity in patients with COPD. Currently tiotropium is the only approved long acting muscarinic antagonist available for treatment of COPD.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, three way crossover, incomplete block study to evaluate 4 doses of GSK573719 inhaled once daily and 2 doses of GSK573719 inhaled twice daily over 7 days in patients with COPD. Tiotropium will be included as an open label active comparator. A placebo treatment will be included to evaluate treatment effect of each GSK573719 dose. Pharmacokinetic profiles of GSK573719 will also be determined. Each eligible subject will receive a sequence of 3 of 8 potential treatments for a total of 3 treatment periods per subject. There will be 7 clinic visits, during three of which 24 hour serial spirometry will be performed. The total duration of subject participation is approximately 9 weeks.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Final Dose-response Model for Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1)	The trough FEV1 data for both the once-daily (QD) and twice-daily (BID) UMEC doses were included in a parametric analysis in order to evaluate trough FEV1dose response. The Day 8 dataset and a pooled dataset for Day 7 and Day 8 were analyzed separately and reported. The rationale for pooling Day 7 and Day 8 (post-hoc analysis) was to ensure informative interpretation of FEV1 response as a function of dose given the repeated measures for trough FEV1 response within each participant on different days. The fixed-effects parameters of the dose response model include Emax (the maximum predicted FEV1 response), ED50 (potency), and S0 (estimated Baseline FEV1). FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. Data for Emax and S0 are reported in this table. mITT=Modified Intent-to-Treat; par.=participants; BL=Baseline.	Day 7 and Day 8 of each treatment period (up to Study Day 50)
Final Dose-response Model for Trough FEV1 for ED50 (Potency) Parameter	The trough FEV1 data for both the once-daily (QD) and twice-daily (BID) UMEC doses were included in a parametric analysis in order to evaluate dose response. Both a Day 8 dataset and a pooled dataset for Day 7 and Day 8 were analyzed and reported. The rationale for pooling Day 7 and Day 8 (post-hoc analysis) was to ensure informative interpretation of FEV1 response as a function of dose given the repeated measures for trough FEV1 response within each participant on different days. ED50 is defined as the potency and is the dose that yields 50% of Emax (maximum predicted FEV1 response). FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second.	Day 7 and Day 8 of each treatment period (up to Study Day 50)
Final Dose-response Model Parameter β-FEV1MB-S0 for Trough FEV1	The trough FEV1 data for both the once-daily (QD) and twice-daily (BID) UMEC doses were included in a parametric analysis in order to evaluate dose response. Both a Day 8 dataset and a pooled dataset for Day 7 and Day 8 were analyzed and reported. The rationale for pooling Day 7 and Day 8 (post-hoc analysis) was to ensure informative interpretation of FEV1 response as a function of dose given the repeated measures for trough FEV1 response within each participant on different days. β-FEV1MB-S0 is defined as the covariate (Baseline trough FEV1) effect on the mean Baseline trough FEV1 estimate (S0). FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second.	Day 7 and Day 8 of each treatment period (up to Study Day 50)
Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) on Day 8 of Each Treatment Period	FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. Trough FEV1 on Treatment Day 8 is defined as the value obtained 24 hours after the morning dose administered on Day 7. Analysis was performed using a mixed model with covariates of mean Baseline, period Baseline, treatment, and period as fixed effects and participant as a random effect. Baseline is the FEV1 value recorded pre-dose on Day 1 of each treatment period, mean Baseline is the mean of the Baselines for each participant, and period Baseline is the difference between the Baseline and the mean Baseline in each treatment period for each particiapant. Change from Baseline for each treatment period is the trough FEV1 at Day 8 minus the Baseline value for that treatment period.	Baseline and Day 8 of each treatment period (up to Study Day 50)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change From Baseline (BL) in Serial FEV1 Over Time on Day 7 of Each Treatment Period	Serial FEV1 for once daily dosing is recorded at the pre-AM dose (AMD; time 0 hour [h]) and at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12,13, 15, 23, and 24 hours after the AMD on Day 7. For twice daily dosing, the 12 h AMD corresponds to the pre-PM dose (PMD), the 13 h AMD corresponds to the 1 h PMD, the 15 h AMD corresponds to the 3 h PMD, the 23 h AMD corresponds to the 11 h PMD, and the 24 h AMD corresponds to the 12 h PMD in this table. Analysis was performed using a mixed model with covariates of mean BL, period BL, treatment, period, time, time by period BL interaction, time by mean BL interaction, and time by treatment interaction as fixed effects and participant as a random effect. BL is the value recorded pre-dose on Day 1 of each TP, mean BLis the mean of the BLs for each participant, and period BL is the difference between the BL and the mean BL in each TP for each participant. Change from BL for each timepoint within a TP is the serial FEV1 measure at that timepoint minus the BL value for that TP.	Baseline and Day 7 of each treatment period (TP; up to Study Day 49)
Change From Baseline (BL) in Weighted Mean FEV1 Over 0 to 24 Hours After the Morning Dosing on Day 7 of Each Treatment Period	FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. The weighted mean FEV1 was derived by calculating the area under the FEV1/time curve (AUC) using the trapezoidal rule, and then dividing the value by the time interval over which the AUC was calculated. The weighted mean FEV1 was calculated using 0-24 hour post-dose measurements at Day 7 of each treatment period, which included pre-dose and post-dose 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 15, 23, and 24 hours. Analysis was performed using a mixed model with covariates of mean BL, period BL, treatment, and period as fixed effects and participant as a random effect. BL is the FEV1 value recorded pre-dose on Day 1 of each TP, mean BL is the mean of the BLs for each participant, and period BL is the difference between the BL and the mean BL in each TP for each participant. Change from BL for each TP is the weighted mean FEV1 at Day 7 minus the BL value for that TP.	Baseline and Day 7 of each treatment period (TP; up to Study Day 49)
