Efficacy and Safety of PT003, PT005, and PT001 in Subjects With Moderate to Very Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD); (PINNACLE 1)

The overall objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with PT003 (GFF MDI), PT005 (FF MDI), PT001 (GP MDI), and open-label tiotropium bromide inhalation powder compared with each other and Placebo MDI over 24 weeks in subjects with moderate to very severe COPD.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female subjects at least 40 years of age and no older than 80 at Visit 1.
  • Subjects with an established clinical history of COPD as defined by the American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS)
  • Current or former smokers with a history of at least 10 pack-years of cigarette smoking.
  • Average f the -60 and the -30 min pre-dose FEV1 assessments must be < 80% predicted normal value calculated using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III reference equations.
  • Subjects willing and, in the opinion of the investigator, able to adjust current COPD therapy as required by the protocol

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Significant diseases other than COPD, i.e. disease or condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, may put the patient at risk because of participation in the study or may influence either the results of the study or the subject's ability to participate in the study
  • Current diagnosis of asthma or alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
  • Other active pulmonary disease such as active tuberculosis, lung cancer, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, idiopathic interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, primary pulmonary hypertension, or uncontrolled sleep apnea
  • Hospitalized due to poorly controlled COPD within 3 months prior to screening or during the Screening Period
  • Poorly controlled COPD, defined as acute worsening of COPD that requires treatment with oral corticosteroids or antibiotics within 6 weeks prior to screening or during the Screening Period
  • Lower respiratory tract infections that required antibiotics within 6 weeks prior to screening or during the Screening Period
  • Unstable ischemic heart disease, left ventricular failure, or documented myocardial infarction within 12 months of enrollment.
  • Recent history of acute coronary syndrome, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft within the past three months
  • Congestive heart failure (CHF) New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III/IV)
  • Clinically significant abnormal 12-lead ECG
  • Abnormal liver function tests defined as aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), or total bilirubin ≥ 1.5 times upper limit of normal at Visit 1 and on repeat testing
  • Cancer not in complete remission for at least five years
  • History of hypersensitivity to β2-agonists, glycopyrronium or other muscarinic anticholinergics, lactose/milk protein or any component of the MDI

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Treatment and study plan

GFF MDI

Drug

GFF MDI administered as two puffs Bis in Di.e. Twice Daily (BID)

GP MDI

Drug

GP MDI administered as two puffs BID

FF MDI

Drug

FF MDI administered as two puffs BID

Open-label tiotropium bromide inhalation powder (Spiriva® Handihaler®)

Drug

Taken as 1 capsule daily containing 18 µg of open-label tiotropium via the Handihaler dry powder inhaler (DPI)

Placebo MDI

Drug

Inhaled placebo administered as two puffs BID

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Morning Pre-dose Trough FEV1 at Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline and at Week 24

    Change from baseline in morning pre-dose trough forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at Week 24

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Morning Pre-dose Trough FEV1 Over 24 Weeks

    Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 2 to 24

    Change from baseline in morning pre-dose trough forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) over 24 weeks. FEV1 was assessed at multiple time points post-baseline,and a modelbased average of all visits starting from Week 2 through week 24 inclusive was calculated. The change values reported in the table represent the change between the baseline and the average FEV1 post-baseline.

  2. St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Score

    Time frame: Baseline and at Week 24

    Change from baseline in the SGRQ total score. The SGRQ is a disease-specific questionnaire, self-completed by participants, used to evaluate the effect of GFF MDI, FF MDI and GP MDI on health-related quality of life as compared to placebo 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. Change from Baseline in total score of -4 units or lower is considered as clinically meaningful improvement in quality of life.

  3. Rescue Ventolin Hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) Use

    Time frame: Baseline and at Week 24

    Change from baseline in average daily rescue Ventolin HFA use

  4. Onset of Action as Assessed by FEV1

    Time frame: Assessed for 5- and 15-minute post dose on Day 1

    Defined as the first time-point using the 5- and 15-minute post dose measurements where the difference in FEV1 from Placebo was statistically significant

  5. Peak Change From Baseline in FEV1 Within 2 Hours Post-dose

    Time frame: Baseline and at Week 24

    Peak change from baseline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) within 2 hours post-dose
