About this study

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter, efficacy and safety trial of 12 weeks of treatment with nebulized SUN-101 using an Investigational eFlow® Closed System (CS) nebulizer in approximately 645 subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD 2014) guidelines.

SUN-101 or placebo will be administered twice daily as an oral inhalation using the investigational eFlow CS nebulizer.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Week 12

    Time frame: baseline and Week 12

    All collected Spirometry was performed according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FEV1 at Week 12 was defined as the mean of the values collected at two time points 30 minutes apart at approximately 24 hours (± 1 hour) after the previous morning dose.

    All collected values were used in this analyses, regardless if the subject remained on randomized treatment or not, and regardless if the values might potentially be affected by other therapies or not Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).

  2. Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Week 12

    Time frame: Week 12

    On-treatment Spirometry was performed according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FEV1 at Week 12 was defined as the mean of the values collected at two time points 30 minutes apart at approximately 24 hours (± 1 hour) after the previous morning dose.

    Only on-treatment values (which included only data collected while subjects were taking study drug) are used for this analysis. Values affected by other medication use were set to missing. Non-collected or missing data were not imputed for this analysis. Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 12

    Time frame: baseline and Week 12

    All collected Spirometry was performed according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FVC at Week 12 was defined as the mean of the values collected at two time points 30 minutes apart at approximately 24 hours (± 1 hour) after the previous morning dose.

    All collected values were used in the analyses, regardless if the subject remained on randomized treatment or not, and regardless if the values might potentially be affected by other therapies or not Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).

  2. Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)Week 12

    Time frame: baseline and Week 12

    On-treatment Spirometry was performed according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FVC at Week 12 was defined as the mean of the values collected at two time points 30 minutes apart at approximately 24 hours (± 1 hour) after the previous morning dose.

    Only on-treatment values (which included only data collected while subjects were taking study drug) are used for this analysis. Values affected by other medication use were set to missing. Non-collected or missing data were not imputed for this analysis. Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).

  3. Change From Baseline in Health Status Measured by St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) at Week 12/End of Study

    Time frame: baseline and Week 12

    All collected Participants reported change in health status by using the SGRQ. The SGRQ contains 50 items divided into 2 parts covering 3 aspects of health related to COPD: symptoms, activity, and impacts. A score was calculated for each of these 3 subscales and a "Total" score was calculated. In each case the lowest possible value is 0 and the highest 100. Higher values correspond to greater impairment of health status.

    All collected values were used in the analyses, regardless if the subject remained on randomized treatment or not. Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).

  4. Change From Baseline in Health Status Measured by St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Week 12/End of Study

    Time frame: baseline and Week 12

    On-treatment Participants reported change in health status by using the SGRQ. The SGRQ contains 50 items divided into 2 parts covering 3 aspects of health related to COPD: symptoms, activity, and impacts. A score was calculated for each of these 3 subscales and a "Total" score was calculated. In each case the lowest possible value is 0 and the highest 100. Higher values correspond to greater impairment of health status.

    Only on-treatment values (which included only data collected while subjects were taking study drug) are used for this analysis. Values affected by other medication use were set to missing.

  5. Change in Number of Rescue Medication Puffs Per Day Over the 12-week Double-blind Treatment Period

    Time frame: Week 0-12

    All collected Participants completed an electronic diary (eDiary) daily (night time) to record the number of puffs of rescue medication inhaled in the previous 24 hours. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    All collected values were used in the analyses, regardless if the subject remained on randomized treatment or not. Values not collected remained as missing values and were assumed to be missing at random (MAR).
