Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed. 2. Male and female adults aged = 18 years. 3. Current or ex-smokers who have a smoking history of at least 10 pack years. (Ten pack- years are defined as 20 cigarettes a day for 10 years, or 10 cigarettes a day for 20 years). 4. A historical diagnosis of COPD confirmed by a post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC =65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 30
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) laboratory test. 2. Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using basic methods of contraception while taking Ultibro® Breezhaler® medication during the study. Basic contraception methods include: • Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject). Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. • Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy), total hysterectomy, or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment. • Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening). For female subjects on the study, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that subject. • Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps). For UK: with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/ vaginal suppository. • Use of oral, (estrogen and progesterone), injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate < 1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception or placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS). In case of use of oral contraception, women should have been stable on the same pill for a minimum of 3 months before entering the study. Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy), total hysterectomy or tubal ligation at least six weeks ago. In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child bearing potential. If local regulations deviate from the contraception methods listed above to prevent pregnancy, local regulations apply and will be described in the ICF. 3. Subjects contraindicated for treatment with, or having a history of reactions/ hypersensitivity to any of the following inhaled drugs, drugs of a similar class or any component thereof:
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of dose tracking in conjunction with reminder notifications and motivational/adaptive messages sent by the patient application over 24 weeks on the subject’s on-time treatment adherence and therefore treatment behavior (1) the effect of the intervention on the on-time treatment adherence of the subjects (2) the effect of the intervention on the total treatment adherence of the subjects ; Secondary Objective: To evaluate the effect of dose tracking in conjunction with reminder notifications and motivational/adaptive messages sent by the patient application over 24 weeks on the subject’s ? On-time adherence over the last four weeks of the Interventional period ? Total adherence over the last four weeks of the Interventional period ; Primary end point(s): Co-primary endpoint 1: on- time adherence defined as percentage of days on which the subject inhaled a t least one dose within (±) 2 hours of the agreed preferred daily inhalation time (PIT). Co-primary objective 2: total adherence defined as percentage of days on which the subject inhaled at least one dose and represents the sum of on-time adherence and off-time adherence. Off-time adherence is defined as percentage of days on which the subject inhaled a dose of medication, but did not do so within the target window (±) 2 hours of the agreed PIT. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): · On-time adherence over the last four weeks of the Interventional period · Total adherence over the last four weeks of the Interventional period ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The secondary endpoint is evaluated at week 24 of the interventional phase | — |
