Trial Outcomes & Findings for Roflumilast on Markers of Bone Metabolism and Endothelial Function in COPD (NCT NCT01745848)

NCT ID: NCT01745848

Last Updated: 2017-08-29

Results Overview

Serum samples were obtained at baseline and after participants took a once daily, 500 mcg roflumilast dose for 30 days. Samples were obtained in the semi-fasting state, processed, and stored for batch analysis at the end of the study. C-terminal peptide of type 1 collagen (CTx), a marker of bone resorption, was analyzed using a commercially available immunoassay (Roche Elecsys 2010 analyzer, Roche Diagnostics, Manheim, Germany). Serum amino-terminal propeptide of type-1 procollagen (P1NP) was measured by ELISA (MyBioSource, San Diego, CA). All assays were performed according to the manufacturers' instructions.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 days - measurements at baseline and 30 days

Population: Data were analyzed for the 20 participants completing baseline and follow-up visits after one month on study drug.

Serum samples were obtained at baseline and after participants took a once daily, 500 mcg roflumilast dose for 30 days. Samples were obtained in the semi-fasting state, processed, and stored for batch analysis at the end of the study. C-terminal peptide of type 1 collagen (CTx), a marker of bone resorption, was analyzed using a commercially available immunoassay (Roche Elecsys 2010 analyzer, Roche Diagnostics, Manheim, Germany). Serum amino-terminal propeptide of type-1 procollagen (P1NP) was measured by ELISA (MyBioSource, San Diego, CA). All assays were performed according to the manufacturers' instructions.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 days - measured at baseline and 30 days

Population: Data were analyzed for the 20 participants completing baseline and follow-up visits after one month on study drug.

Participants had flow mediated dilation of the brachial artery measured at the baseline visit and at the follow-up visit after receiving 30 days of roflumilast 500 mcg daily. An ultrasound probe was placed over the brachial artery and the brachial artery diameter was measured in real time. A blood pressure cuff positioned below the elbow was then inflated to 50 mmHg above systolic pressure for five minutes. After five minutes of occlusion, the blood pressure cuff was released and the brachial artery diameter was again measured in real time. The amount of dilation expressed as the absolute change, in millimeters, from baseline diameter was quantified using the ultrasound images obtained 60 seconds after cuff release.
