Comparative Study of Umeclidinium/Vilanterol (UMEC/VI) in a Fixed Dose Combination With Indacaterol Plus Tiotropium

February 2, 2018 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

Study DB2116961, A Multicentre, Randomised, Blinded, Parallel Group Study to Compare UMEC/VI (Umeclidinium/Vilanterol) in a Fixed Dose Combination With Indacaterol Plus Tiotropium in Symptomatic Subjects With Moderate to Very Severe COPD

This is a Phase IIIb multicentre, randomised, blinded, triple dummy, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of UMEC/VI inhalation powder (62.5/25 microgram [mcg] Once daily [QD]) when administered via ELLIPTA® Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) compared to indacaterol plus tiotropium (150 mcg/18 mcg respectively QD) administered via individual inhalers over a treatment period of 12 weeks in participants with moderate to very severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that UMEC/VI (delivered via ELLIPTA DPI), when used in symptomatic moderate to very severe COPD participants, is non-inferior to the combination of indacaterol (delivered via BREEZHALER® inhaler) plus tiotropium (delivered via HANDIHALER® inhaler) on measures of trough forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) after 12 weeks of treatment. Participants who met the eligibility criteria at screening (Visit 1) will complete a 5 to 7 day run in period prior to randomisation at Visit 2. Clinic visits will follow at day 2, week 2, week 4, week 8 and week 12 of treatment, plus week 12 + 1 day (Visits 3 to 8). The total duration of study participation will be approximately 14 weeks.

A female is eligible to enter and participate in the study if she is of: Non-child bearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant, including any female who is post-menopausal or surgically sterile). Surgically sterile females are defined as those with a documented hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation. Post-menopausal females are defined as being amenorrhoeic for greater than 1 year with an appropriate clinical profile, e.g., age appropriate, > 45 years, in the absence of hormone replacement therapy.OR Child bearing potential, has a negative pregnancy test at screening, and agrees to one of the following acceptable contraceptive methods used consistently and correctly (i.e., in accordance with the approved product label and the instructions of the physician for the duration of the study screening to follow-up contact): Abstinence, Oral Contraceptive, either combined or progestogen alone, Injectable progestogen, Implants of levonorgestrel, Estrogenic vaginal ring, Percutaneous contraceptive patches, Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) that meets the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) effectiveness criteria as stated in the product label, Male partner sterilization (vasectomy with documentation of azoospermia) prior to the female subject's entry into the study, and this male is the sole partner for that subject. For this definition, "documented" refers to the outcome of the investigator's/designee's medical examination of the subject or review of the subject's medical history for study eligibility, as obtained via a verbal interview with the subject or from the subject' s medical records. Double barrier method: condom and an occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with a vaginal spermicidal agent (foam/gel/film/cream/suppository)

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) on Treatment Day 85 (Visit 8)
Time Frame: Baseline (BL) and Day 85
FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in 1 second. BL was the mean of the 2 assessments made 30 and 5 minutes (min) pre-dose (PD) on Day 1. Trough FEV1 measurements were taken electronically by spirometry on Days 2, 28, 56, 84 and 85. Trough FEV1 on Day 85 is defined as the mean of the FEV1 values obtained at 23 and 24 hours (hr) after dosing on Day 84 (at Week 12 + 1 day). Analysis was performed using mixed model repeated measures (RM) with covariates of trt, BL FEV1 (mean of values measured at 30 and 5 min PD on Day 1), center group, day, day by BL interaction and day by trt interaction, where day was nominal.
Baseline (BL) and Day 85

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Weighted Mean (WM) FEV1 Over 0-6 Hour Post-dose at Day 84
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 84
BL FEV1 was the mean of the 2 assessments made 30 and 5 min PD on Day 1. WM FEV1 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 was calculated at Days 1 and 84 using the 0-6 hr post-dose FEV1 measurements collected on that day, which included PD FEV1 (taken 30 and 5 min prior to dosing on Day 1 and the 30 and 5 min reading prior to dosing on Day 84) and post-dose FEV1 measurements at 1, 3 and 6 hr post-dose.WM change from BL was the WM at at the visit minus the BL value. Analysis was performed using a RM model with covariates of trt, BL FEV1 (mean of values measured at 30 and 5 min PD on Day 1) center group, day, day by BL and day by trt interaction, where day was nominal. Only par with data available at the specified TP were analyzed but all par w/o missing covariate information and with >=1 post-BL measurement were included in the analysis.
