Tiotropium Bromide in Cystic Fibrosis - Full Text View

Purpose

To date, there have been no formal clinical studies completed using tiotropium in CF patients. While there is a large body of evidence demonstrating the efficacy and safety of tiotropium in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), relatively little is known about its efficacy and safety in patients with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Therefore, Boehringer Ingelheim proposed to profile the long acting anticholinergic tiotropium and to generate adequate clinical data for use as a bronchodilator in paediatric and adult CF. The phase III trial (205.438) is a part of the approved Paediatric Investigation Plan (PIP) agreed for Spiriva® Respimat® in Cystic Fibrosis.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Area Under the Curve 0-4 Hours (AUC0-4h) Response [ Time Frame: 30 minutes (min) before first dosing of study drug (defined as baseline), at 1 hour (h), 2 h , 3 h, and 4 h post dosing at day 1 and at 30 min before dosing, at 1 hour, 2 h , 3 h, and 4 h post dosing after 12 weeks. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Mixed Model Repeated Measurement (MMRM) results. Response was defined as change from baseline in percent of predicted at the end of 12-week double-blind treatment period and is therefore expressed in percent of predicted. Means are adjusted for treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, age group (<= 11, >=12), baseline and baseline-by-visit interaction. FEV1 AUC0-4h was normalised for time and was calculated using the trapezoidal rule divided by the observation time (4 h).
Trough FEV1 Response [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
MMRM results. Response was defined as change from baseline in percent of predicted at the end of 12-week double-blind treatment period and is therefore expressed in percent of predicted. Trough FEV1 was defined as the pre-dose FEV1 measured just prior to the administration of randomised treatment. Means are adjusted for treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, age group (<= 11, >=12), baseline and baseline-by-visit interaction.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Area Under the Curve 0-4 Hours (AUC0-4h) Response [ Time Frame: 30 minutes (min) before first dosing of study drug (defined as baseline), at 1 hour (h), 2 h , 3 h, and 4 h post dosing at day 1 and at 30 min before dosing, at 1 hour, 2 h , 3 h, and 4 h post dosing after 12 weeks. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
MMRM results. Response was defined as change from baseline in percent of predicted at the end of 12-week double-blind treatment period and is therefore expressed in percent of predicted. Means are adjusted for treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, age group (<= 11, >=12), baseline and baseline-by-visit interaction. FVC AUC0-4h was normalised for time and was calculated using the trapezoidal rule divided by the observation time (4 h).
Trough FVC Response [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
MMRM results. Response was defined as change from baseline in percent of predicted at the end of 12-week double-blind treatment period and is therefore expressed in percent of predicted. Trough FCV was defined as the pre-dose FVC measured just prior to the administration of randomised treatment. Means are adjusted for treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, age group (<= 11, >=12), baseline and baseline-by-visit interaction.
Pre-bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Flow Between 25 Percent and 75 Percent of the FVC (FEF25−75) Response [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
MMRM results. Response was defined as change from baseline in percent of predicted at the end of 12-week double-blind treatment period and is therefore expressed in percent of predicted. FEF25−75 is also known as maximum mid-expiratory flow and was measured before bronchodilator (salbutamol) use. Means are adjusted for treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, age group (<= 11, >=12), baseline and baseline-by-visit interaction.
Percentage of Participants With at Least 1 Pulmonary Exacerbation During Double-blind Treatment [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Selected questions from the Respiratory and Systemic Symptoms Questionnaire (RSSQ), the investigator assessment of physical findings and pulmonary function, and the use of intravenous antibiotics as a concomitant therapy were used to determine if a cystic fibrosis-related pulmonary exacerbation had occurred.
Change From Baseline in Revised Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire (CFQ-R) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Different format of CFQ-R are used depending of the patients' age. Adolescent and adult format of CFQ-R is used for patients of 14 years and older, for younger children a parent version and a children format is used. In case parent and children questionnaires were filled out, the children questionnaire is taken into account. Scores were calculated for each domain of the CFQ-R which are presented separately. A score of 100 corresponds to the highest quality of life possible, whereas a score of 0 corresponds to the lowest quality of life possible. Increasing score indicates better health.
