Study summary

This is a Phase III randomized, double-blind, parallel group, multi-center, 52-week COPD exacerbation and lung function study with PT009 320/9.6 μg, PT009 160/9.6 μg and PT005 9.6 μg, all administered BID.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase III randomized, double-blind, parallel group, multi-center, 52-week COPD exacerbation and lung function study. Subjects will undergo a 1- to 4-week Screening Period. Subjects who successfully complete the Screening Period will be randomized to one of the following three treatment groups: PT009 320/9.6 μg, PT009 160/9.6 μg and PT005 9.6 μg, all administered BID. Following randomization, subjects will enter the Treatment Period and undergo additional treatment visits over 52 weeks.

  3. Percentage of Subjects Achieving an MCID (Minimal Clinically Important Difference) of 4 Units or More in Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score

    The SGRQ (St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire) is a disease-specific questionnaire, self-completed by participants, used to evaluate the effect of BFF MDI on health-related quality of life as compared to FF MDI in subjects with COPD. The scores range from 0 (minimum, best possible health status) to 100 (maximum, worst possible health status). The SGRQ contains 76 items grouped into three domains (symptoms, activity and impacts). Change from Baseline at a particular visit was calculated as the SGRQ total score at that visit minus Baseline. A decrease from baseline in SGRQ total score of 4 units or more is considered a clinically meaningful improvement in quality of life.
