A Cross-Over Study to Evaluate Lung Function Response After Treatment With Umeclidinium (UMEC) 62.5 Micrograms (mcg), Vilanterol (VI) 25 mcg, and Umeclidinium/Vilanterol (UMEC/VI) 62.5/25 mcg Once-Daily in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

A Randomized, Double-Blind, 3-Way, Cross-Over Study to Evaluate Lung Function Response After Treatment With Umeclidinium 62.5 mcg, Vilanterol 25 mcg, and Umeclidinium/Vilanterol 62.5/25 mcg Once-Daily in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, 3-way crossover study to evaluate the lung function response to UMEC 62.5 mcg, VI 25 mcg, and UMEC/VI 62.525 mcg, administered once-daily via a novel dry powder inhaler (NDPI) over 14 days in subjects with COPD.

The study consisted of Run in Phase (5 to 7 days), Treatment Phase (made up of 3 treatment periods of 14 days each separated by 10 to 14 days Washout Period) and Follow-up Phase (7 to 9 days after completion of final visit or premature discontinuation). Eligible subjects will be randomized to a sequence of UMEC 62.5 mcg, VI 25 mcg, and UMEC/VI 62.5/25 mcg such that all subjects will receive each treatment.

Serial spirometry assessments will be conducted on Day 1 and Day 14 and trough spirometry will be conducted on Day 2 and Day 15 of each treatment period. On Day 1 and 14 of each treatment period vital signs will be assessed and adverse event (AE)s will be recorded throughout the total duration of the study (approximately 12 weeks).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change From Baseline (BL) in Weighted Mean (WM) 0-6 Hour Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Obtained Post-dose at Day 14 of Each Treatment Period (TP) by Response Type	FEV1 is a measure of lung function and the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. The WM 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 WM FEV1 was calculated using 0-6 hour post-dose measurements at Day 14 of each TP, which included pre-dose (trough value for Day 14 [mean of the 23 and 24 hour assessments post Day 13 dosing]) and post-dose 15 minutes (min), 30 min, and 1, 3, and 6 hours. BL is the mean FEV1 values recorded 30 min and 5 min 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 Day 14 value minus the BL value for that TP.	Baseline and Day 14 of each treatment period (up to study day 85)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants (Par.) Who Were Responsive to UMEC/VI, UMEC or, VI According to FEV1 at Day 1 of Each Treatment Period (TP)	A responder is a par. with an increase from BL of >=12% and 200 milliliters (mL) at >=1 time point over 0-6 hours post-dose (PD) in FEV1 on Day 1. A non-responder (NR) is a par. with >=1 FEV1 assessment over 0-6 hours PD on Day 1 but no increase from BL of >=12% and 200 mL at any assessment(s). Missing: no FEV1 data recorded over 0-6 hours PD on Day 1. Response type is defined based on a par.'s response to each individual monotherapy treatment. A responder to UMEC is a par. who is a responder in the UMEC treatment period (TP) and either a NR or has missing data in the VI TP. A responder to VI is a par. who is a responder in the VI TP and either a NR or has missing data in the UMEC TP. A responder to UMEC and VI is a par. who is a responder in both the UMEC and VI TPs. A responder to neither is a par. who is a NR in both the UMEC and VI TPs. Missing: a par. who has missing data in both the UMEC and VI TPs, or who has missing data in one monotherapy period and is a NR in the other.	Baseline (BL) and 0-6 hours post-dose (15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1, 3, and 6 hours post-dose) on Day 1 of each treatment period (up to study day 66)
Number of Participants With a Larger Change From Baseline in 0-6 Hour Weighted Mean FEV1 at Day 14 of Each Treatment Period With UMEC/VI Compared With UMEC and VI Alone	The number of participants with a larger change from Baseline in weighted mean FEV1 with UMEC/VI compared with UMEC and VI alone was recorded. Participants who improved on UMEC/VI had a larger change from Baseline difference in 0-6 hour weighted mean FEV1 on Day 14 on UMEC/VI compared to UMEC or VI alone. Baseline is the mean FEV1 values recorded 30 min and 5 min 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 participant. Change from Baseline for each treatment period is the Day 14 value minus the Baseline value for that treatment period.	Baseline and Day 14 of each treatment period (up to study day 85)
Change From Baseline in Clinic Visit Pre-dose Trough FEV1 at Day 15 of Each Treatment Period	Trough FEV1 on Treatment Day 15 is defined as the mean of the FEV1 values obtained at 23 and 24 hours after dosing on Day 14. Analysis was performed using an ANCOVA model with covariates of treatment, period, mean Baseline (BL), period BL, response type, and treatment by response type interaction. A participant is a reponder to UMEC if they were a responder to UMEC monotherapy or a responder to both UMEC monotherapy and VI monotherapy. A participant is a responder to VI if they were a responder to VI monotherapy or a responder to both UMEC monotherapy or VI monotherapy. BL is the mean FEV1 recorded 30 min and 5 min pre-dose on Day 1 of each treatment period, mean BL is the mean of the BLs for each participant, and period BL is the difference between BL and the mean BL in each treatment period for each participant. Change from BL for each treatment period is the Day 15 value minus the BL value for that treatment period.	Baseline and Day 15 of each treatment period (up to study day 81)
