Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of Roflumilast in addition to long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA)/ long acting ß2-agonist (LABA) therapy.;Secondary Objective: The secondary study objective is to obtain data about the health related quality of life, lung function tests and exercise tolerance. ;Primary end point(s): - Airway volume (iVaw) - Airway resistance (iRaw) - Lobe volumes (iVlobes) - Air trapping - Internal Lobar Airflow Distribution - Low Attenuation or Emphysema Score - Blood Vessel Density - Airway Wall Thickness - Aerosol deposition concentrations ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: January 2017 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Spirometry: • FEV1 • Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) • Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) • Maximum Expiratory Flow at 50% of FVC (MEF 50) • Maximum Expiratory Flow at 25% of FVC (MEF 25) - Body plethysmography: • Residual Volume (RV) • TLC • FRC • Airway resistance (Raw) - Diffusion capacity • carbon monoxide transfer factor (TCO) • Alveolar volume (VA) - 6MWT: • Exercise capacity: distance walked in 6 minutes (m), oxygen saturation measurement will be performed during the test - PRO: • Borg CR10 Scale: measure of the present dyspnea and leg fatigue before and after exercise • COPD assessment test (CAT): measure of the impact of COPD on your life • Saint George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ): measure health related quality of life and comfort ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: January 2017 | — |
