Pharmacokinetic, Safety and Tolerability Study of Aclidinium/Formoterol Fixed Dose Combination and Formoterol in Patients With Moderate to Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

December 22, 2016 updated by: AstraZeneca

A Phase 2a, Randomized, Open-Label, 2-Way Crossover Study To Determine The Pharmacokinetics, Safety, And Tolerability Of Aclidinium/Formoterol 400/12 µg Fixed Dose Combination Via Almirall Inhaler And Formoterol 12 µg Via Foradil® Aerolizer® In Patients With Moderate To Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The purpose of this Phase II study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of aclidinium/formoterol fixed dose combination (FDC 400/12 μg via the Almirall Inhaler and formoterol 12 μg via the Foradil® Aerolizer®, both administered twice daily for five days to patients with moderate to severe COPD.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Current or former cigarette smokers with a cigarette smoking history of at least 10 pack-years
  • A diagnosis of stable moderate to severe COPD and stable airway obstruction as defined by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease guidelines and stable airway obstruction.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any respiratory tract infection (including the upper respiratory tract) or COPD exacerbation in the six weeks before Screening
  • Patients with any clinically significant respiratory conditions other than COPD
  • Clinical history that suggests that the patient has asthma as opposed to COPD
  • Chronic use of oxygen therapy ≥ 15 hours/day
  • Patients with clinically significant cardiovascular conditions
  • Patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to inhaled anticholinergics, beta-2 agonists, sympathomimetic amines, or inhaled medications
