Trial Outcomes & Findings for Adherence Study in COPD Patients (NCT NCT02864342)

NCT ID: NCT02864342

Last Updated: 2018-11-20

Results Overview

The mean number of adherent sets of Symbicort puffs per day for each group, over an average of 26 weeks was calculated. An adherent set of puffs was defined as exactly 2 sets of 2 Symbicort puffs per day. The 2 puffs that constitute a set must have been taken within 60 minutes of each other. A mean of 2.00 sets would be equal to 100% adherence (2 sets of 2 puffs). Subjects who did not take exactly 2 sets of 2 puffs on any given day throughout their device time on study were considered non-adherent for that day.

Participant Flow

Subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were recruited into 8 study sites in the United States from August 2016 to October 2017. The study evaluated the impact of medication reminders on adherence to Symbicort pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) using a BreatheMate bluetooth device that monitored daily Symbicort inhaler use.

Subjects who entered the study already on a stable dose of Symbicort were enrolled and randomized at Visit 1 followed by a 26-week treatment period. Subjects who converted to Symbicort were enrolled at Visit 1 and entered a 25-day run-in period after which they were randomized at Visit 2, followed by a 26-week treatment period.

Control Group
All subjects took Symbicort pMDI budesonide/formoterol, 160/4.5 micrograms (mcg) x 2 actuations twice daily (BID), for oral inhalation from day 1 (baseline) of the treatment phase. Subjects randomized to the control group received Symbicort pMDI and a BreatheMate bluetooth monitoring device that monitored daily Symbicort inhaler use, as well as a study-supplied cellular phone that paired with the BreatheMate device to transmit data regarding Symbicort usage. Subjects in the control group did not receive any reminders to take their Symbicort or any feedback regarding medication compliance.
Intervention Group
All subjects took Symbicort pMDI, budesonide/formoterol, 160/4.5 mcg x 2 actuations BID, for oral inhalation from day 1 (baseline) of the treatment phase. Subjects randomized to the intervention group received Symbicort pMDI, a BreatheMate bluetooth monitoring device that monitored daily Symbicort inhaler use, as well as a study-supplied cellular phone that paired with the BreatheMate device to transmit data regarding Symbicort usage.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to end of treatment (EOT), (6 months).

Population: The FAS consisted of screened subjects who were randomized and took at least 1 inhalation of Symbicort during the treatment phase of the study.

The mean number of adherent sets of Symbicort puffs per day for each group, over an average of 26 weeks was calculated. An adherent set of puffs was defined as exactly 2 sets of 2 Symbicort puffs per day. The 2 puffs that constitute a set must have been taken within 60 minutes of each other. A mean of 2.00 sets would be equal to 100% adherence (2 sets of 2 puffs). Subjects who did not take exactly 2 sets of 2 puffs on any given day throughout their device time on study were considered non-adherent for that day.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to EOT (6 months).

Population: The FAS consisted of screened subjects who were randomized and took at least 1 inhalation of Symbicort during the treatment phase of the study. Only subjects with CCQ results available for analysis are presented.

The CCQ is a 10-item measure of a subject's COPD symptoms, divided into 3 domains (Symptoms: Items 1, 2, 5 and 6; Functional State: Items 7, 8, 9, and 10; and Mental State: Items 3 and 4). Individual items within the CCQ were equally weighted. The total score was calculated by adding the scores of the 10 items and dividing that number by 10 (=number of items). In addition, individual domain scores were calculated. The total CCQ score and each of the 3 domain scores range from 0 (very good health status) to 6 (extremely poor health status). CCQ data was collected for all subjects at baseline and EOT visits. The mean CCQ total and domain scores at both baseline and 26 weeks (EOT) are presented along with the mean change from baseline at EOT or week 26. A positive change indicates worsening symptoms and a higher value is indicative of a poorer health status.

Timeframe: From baseline to EOT (6 months).

Population: The FAS consisted of screened subjects who were randomized and took at least 1 inhalation of Symbicort during the treatment phase of the study. Only subjects with CCQ results available for analysis are presented.

The CCQ is a 10-item measure of a subject's COPD symptoms, divided into 3 domains (Symptoms: Items 1, 2, 5 and 6; Functional State: Items 7, 8, 9, and 10; and Mental State: Items 3 and 4). Individual items within the CCQ were equally weighted. The total score was calculated by adding the scores of the 10 items and dividing that number by 10 (=number of items). Individual domain scores were also calculated. The total CCQ score and each of the 3 domain scores range from 0 (very good health status) to 6 (extremely poor health status). Subjects in the intervention group took the CCQ weekly throughout the study. The 26-week treatment period was broken down into 3, 2-month intervals: Interval 1: from study day 1 to study day 63 (inclusive), Interval 2: study day 64 to study day 126 (inclusive), Interval 3: study day 127 to EOT (inclusive). The last week of each 2-month interval was used to represent that interval and results are presented for the total CCQ score and the 3 domain scores.

Population: The FAS consisted of screened subjects who were randomized and took at least 1 inhalation of Symbicort during the treatment phase of the study. Only subjects with data available for analysis are presented.

The mean number of adherent sets of Symbicort puffs per day was calculated for each subject, for each of the 3, 2-month study intervals. Interval 1: from study day 1 to study day 63 (inclusive); Interval 2: study day 64 to study day 126 (inclusive); Interval 3: study day 127 to EOT (inclusive). A set is 2 puffs taken on the same calendar day, with the 2 puffs taken within 60 minutes of each other. The mean number of sets of Symbicort puffs per day was determined only for the days during device time on study for each subject.

Measure
CONTROL GROUP
n=70 participants at risk
All subjects took Symbicort pMDI budesonide/formoterol, 160/4.5 mcg x 2 actuations BID, for oral inhalation from day 1 (baseline) of the treatment phase. Subjects randomized to the control group received Symbicort pMDI and a BreatheMate bluetooth monitoring device that monitored daily Symbicort inhaler use, as well as a study-supplied cellular phone that paired with the BreatheMate device to transmit data regarding Symbicort usage. Subjects in the control group did not receive any reminders to take their Symbicort or any feedback regarding medication compliance.
INTERVENTION GROUP

All subjects took Symbicort pMDI, budesonide/formoterol, 160/4.5 mcg x 2 actuations BID, for oral inhalation from day 1 (baseline) of the treatment phase. Subjects randomized to the intervention group received Symbicort pMDI, a BreatheMate bluetooth monitoring device that monitored daily Symbicort inhaler use, as well as a study-supplied cellular phone that paired with the BreatheMate device to transmit data regarding Symbicort usage.
