Effect of Perioperative Bronchodilator in COPD Patients Undergoing Lung Cancer Surgery

April 1, 2021 updated by: Hye Yun Park, Samsung Medical Center

Effect of Perioperative Fixed-dose Dual Bronchodilator Therapy on Post-operative Pulmonary Function Among Mild- to -Moderate COPD Patients Undergoing Lung Cancer Surgery

This is a double-blind randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of perioperative dual bronchodilator therapy on post-operative pulmonary function and health-related quality of life (QoL) in mild-to-moderate less symptomatic COPD patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.

Investigators hypothesized that dual bronchodilator, as compared with placebo, would prevent reduction of pulmonary function after surgical resection and improve postoperative health related QoL.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects of men or female over 40 years of age who are scheduled for curative pulmonary lobectomy due to confirmation (or high suspicion) of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
  • Subjects waiting at least 14 days for scheduled pulmonary lobectomy
  • Subjects who are newly diagnosed with COPD* or who have not used any bronchodilators within the past 3 months, even if they have previously been diagnosed with COPD

    • COPD : Post-bronchodilator (Post-BD) FEV1/FVC <0.7 and Post-BD FEV1 ≥70 %predicted (%pred)
  • Subjects with dyspnea of 0 or 1 grade measured by modified Medical Research Council (mMRC)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy: subjects of women who are pregnant, lactating, planning on becoming pregnant during the clinical trial, or of child bearing potential not using contraception methods
  • COPD treatment/acute exacerbation: subjects who have been treated with COPD within the past 3 months or have experienced acute exacerbation of COPD within the past 1 month (Acute exacerbation of COPD is defined as the cases requiring antibiotics, oral corticosteroids, emergency treatment, or hospitalization due to at least one symptom from increased breathlessness, sputum volume, or sputum purulence)
  • Other pulmonary diseases: subjects who are physician-diagnosed with asthma or Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

  • Abnormal and clinically significant 12-Lead Eletrocardiogram (ECG): subjects with abnormal and clinically significant ECG findings (Significant is defined as any disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would put the safety of the subject at risk through participation, or which would affect the efficacy or safety analysis if the disease/condition exacerbated during the study.)

  • Mobility: subjects who are not able to walk independently without mobility assistance or other people
