Study design details

Main study objective

The primary objective of the study is to measure changes in physical functioning - serving as a surrogate for physical activity and exercise capacity - in COPD patients being treated with Spiolto® Respimat® after approximately 6 weeks

Outcomes

The primary objective is to evaluate the Physical Functioning based on Physical Functioning Questionnaire (PF-10)scores which consists of 10 questions evaluating the extent of experienced restrictions while conducting usual activities at visit 1 and at visit 2 with Spiolto® Respimat. The secondary objective is to evaluate the patient’s general condition (physician’s evaluation) at visit 1 (= baseline visit at the start of the study) and at visit 2 (= final visit approx. 6 weeks after visit 1), as well as patient satisfaction with Spiolto® Respimat® at visit 2.

Data analysis plan

All patients who have received at least one dose of Spiolto® Respimat® will be included in the analysis, this is the treated set. All analyses will be performed on the treated set (as-treated analysis). If patients have missing values for an outcome, those patients will be excluded for that outcome’s analysis.The assessment will be carried out using SAS® software. The statistical characteristics presented in the end-of-text tables will be N / mean / SD / min / median / max for continuous variables. Tabulations of relative and absolute frequencies will be presented for categorical variables. Incidence rates and 95% CI will be given when appropriate
