Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: A decrease of leukotriene B4 in induced sputum will be the main parameter for assessing the anti-inflammatory effects of 6 week treatment with tiotropium in patients with stable COPD;Secondary Objective: Additionally, changes in sputum cell differentials and other cytokine parameters (protein, mRNA), blood cell differentials, CRP, and cytokine parameters, health related quality of life (CCQ, CAT) will be assessed as well as changes in post-bronchdilator FEV1;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is leukotriene B4 decrease in induced sputum for assessing the anti-inflammatory effects of 6 week treatment with tiotropium in patients with stable COPD;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and after treatment period of 6 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Changes in sputum cell differentials and other cytokine parameters (protein, mRNA), blood cell differentials, CRP, and cytokine parameters, health related quality of life (CCQ, CAT) will be assessed as well as changes in post-bronchdilator FEV1;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and after treatment period of 6 weeks
