E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria | 1. Type of subject: Outpatient. 2. Informed Consent: A signed and dated written informed consent prior to study participation. 3. Age: Subjects 40 years of age or older at Visit 1. 4. Gender: Male or female subjects. 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. However in questionable cases, post-menopause status may be confirmed by analysis of a blood sample with FSH > 40MIU/ml and estradiol <40pg/ml (<140 pmol/L) as confirmatory. 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 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) 5. Diagnosis: An established clinical history of COPD in accordance with the definition by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society [Celli, 2004] as follows: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a preventable and treatable disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases, primarily caused by cigarette smoking. Although COPD affects the lungs, it also produces significant systemic consequences. 6. Smoking History: Current or former cigarette smokers with a history of cigarette smoking of =>10 pack-years [number of pack years = (number of cigarettes per day / 20) x number of years smoked (e.g., 20 cigarettes per day for 10 years, or 10 cigarettes per day for 20 years)]. Previous smokers are defined as those who have stopped smoking for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1. 7. Severity of Disease: A post-albuterol/salbutamol FEV1/FVC ratio of <0.70 and a post-albuterol/salbutamol FEV1 of <=70% of predicted normal values calculated using NHANES III reference equations at Visit 1 [Hankinson, 1999; Hankinson, 2010] 8. Dyspnea: A score of ≥2 on the Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC) at Visit 1 | 1.Tipo di soggetto: pazienti ambulatoriali.2.Consenso Informato: consenso informato firmato e datato prima della partecipazione allo studio. 3.Età: soggetti di almeno 40 anni alla Visita 1.4.Sesso: soggetti di sesso maschile o femminile. I soggetti di sesso femminile possono essere inclusi nello studio se non potenzialmente fertili o con test di gravidanza negativo allo screening e che accettano di utilizzare un metodo contraccettivo adeguato per tutta la durata dello studio.5.Diagnosi: storia clinica confermata di BPCO secondo la definizione dell’American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society. 6.Storia di tabagismo: fumatori o ex-fumatori con ≥10 pacchetti/anno [numero di pacchetti/anno = (numero di sigarette al giorno / 20) x numero di anni di fumo. Gli ex-fumatori sono definiti come coloro che hanno smesso di fumare almeno 6 mesi prima della Visita 1. 7.Gravità della malattia: soggetti che alla Visita 1 presentano, dopo la somministrazione di salbutamolo, un rapporto FEV1/FVC <0,70 e un valore di FEV1 <=70% del valore predetto utilizzando le equazioni di riferimento NHANES III 8.Dispnea: soggetti che alla Visita 1 presentano un punteggio ≥ 2 nella scala “Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale” (mMRC). | |
