Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change From Baseline in Post-Bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 18, 26, 39, 52 ]
  • Change From Baseline in Post-Bronchodilator Carbon Monoxide Diffusion Capacity (DLco) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 18, 26, 39, 52 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Full Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) (Spirometry, Pre-Ipratropium and Pre-Insulin PFTs) [ Time Frame: Duration of the study ]
  • Full PFTs (DLco, Pre-Ipratropium and Pre- Insulin PFTs) [ Time Frame: Duration of the study ]
  • Other PFTs (Besides FEV1 and DLco) [ Time Frame: Duration of the study ]
  • Bronchodilator Responsiveness as Determined by the Change in FEV1 [ Time Frame: Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 18, 26, 39, 52 ]
  • Insulin Dose Responsiveness for FEV1 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 9, Week 51 ]
  • Insulin Dose Responsiveness for DLco [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 9, Week 51 ]
  • Methacholine PC20 [ Time Frame: Duration of the study ]
  • Mean Weekly Number of Puffs of Short-Acting Bronchodilator Used [ Time Frame: Duration of the study ]
  • Incidence of Non-Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbations [ Time Frame: 0 to 1 week to > 9 months ]
  • Incidence of Severe COPD Exacerbations [ Time Frame: 0 to 1 week to > 9 months ]
  • Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI) and Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) Questionnaires [ Time Frame: Duration of the study ]
  • Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 6, 12, 26, 39, and 52 ]
  • Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 6, 12, 26, 39, 52 ]
  • Change From Baseline in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 26, 39, 50, 51, 52 ]
  • Mean Total Daily Intermediate-/Long-Acting Insulin Dose (Unadjusted for Body Weight) [ Time Frame: Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 26, 39, 52 ]
  • Mean Total Daily Short-Acting Insulin Dose (Unadjusted for Body Weight) [ Time Frame: Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 26, 39, 52 ]
  • Mean Total Daily Intermediate-/Long-Acting Insulin Dose (Adjusted for Body Weight) [ Time Frame: Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 26, 39, 52 ]
  • Mean Total Daily Short-Acting Insulin Dose (Adjusted for Body Weight) [ Time Frame: Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 26, 39, 52 ]
  • Lipids [ Time Frame: Duration of the study ]
  • Hypoglycemic Event Rates [ Time Frame: 0 to1 month to > 11 months ]
  • Severe Hypoglcyemic Event Rates [ Time Frame: 0 to 1 month to > 11 months ]
Enrollment: 105
Study Start Date: January 2003
Study Completion Date: September 2008
Primary Completion Date: September 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Subcutaneous Insulin Drug: Subcutaneous Insulin
Subcutaneous short-acting insulin with dose adjusted according to premeal blood glucose plus oral antidiabetic agent(s) and/or either once or twice daily doses of either Ultralente or neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) insulin, or a single bedtime dose of insulin glargine.
Experimental: Inhaled Insulin Drug: Inhaled Insulin
Inhaled insulin with dose adjusted according to premeal blood glucose plus oral antidiabetic agent(s) and/or either once or twice daily doses of either Ultralente or NPH insulin, or a single bedtime dose of insulin glargine.

Detailed Description:
Pfizer announced in October 2007 that it would stop marketing Exubera. At that time recruitment for study A2171030 was placed on hold. Nektar, the company from which Pfizer licensed Exubera, announced on April 9, 2008 that it had stopped its search for a new marketing partner. Accordingly, there will be no commercial availability of Exubera. As a result, study A2171030 was terminated on June 17, 2008. Neither safety nor efficacy reasons were the cause of the study termination.
