Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: 1. Comparing the efficacy of ICS/LABA/LAMA vs LABA/LAMA in COPD patients with non-mixed phenotype (non-ACOS).;Secondary Objective: 1. Identifying molecular [gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO), electronic noses (e-noses), bacterial gene sequencing for airway microbiome identification], cellular (sputum analysis), imaging (chest multidetector row computed tomography, MDCT), biochemical [8-isoprostane and prostaglandin (PGE2) concentrations, both reported to be elevated in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) from COPD patients (17,18); PGE2 concentrations in sputum supernatants], and functional [including body plethysmography, forced oscillation technique (FOT), and single breath nitrogen washout] phenopypes, based on an innovative and validated platform, which is required for a better definition of non-mixed COPD phenotypes, for a more comprehensive consideration of the study covariates to be included in a pre-defined post-hoc analysis and, more importantly, for translating molecular phenotyping into a more personalized ;Primary end point(s): Occurrence of 1) one moderate or severe COPD exacerbation during the 52-week treatment phase (V3-V6), or 2) one episode of decrease in trough FEV1 = 15% on the volume scale or = 10% on the predicted scale or = 200 ml during the 52-week treatment phase (V3-V6) compared with pre-bronchodilator FEV1 at pre-treatment visit (V2) (8). The occurrence and severity of COPD exacerbations will be defined based on GOLD guidelines (6). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 52 weeks | — |
