Study comparing the same drugs (budesonide and formoterol) given via two different inhalers. To see which one results in the best effect on breathing.

A Randomized, Open-Label, Two Period Crossover, Chronic Dosing, 1-Week, Pilot Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate Inhalation Aerosol Administered with a Spacer Compared with Symbicort® Turbuhaler® in Subjects with Severe to Very Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Low Peak Inspiratory Flow

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the effects of Budesonide/ Formoterol Fumarate (BFF) MDI administered with a spacer relative to Symbicort Turbuhaler on lung function.;Secondary Objective: To assess the effects of BFF MDI administered with a spacer relative to Symbicort Turbuhaler on additional measures of lung function.;Primary end point(s): Peak change from baseline in FEV1 within 4 hours post-dose following 1 week of treatment.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 1

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1) Area under the curve for change from baseline in FEV1 following 1 week of treatment. 2) Change from baseline in pre-dose FEV1 following 1 week of treatment. 3) Change from baseline in 2-hour post-dose inspiratory capacity (IC) following 1 week of treatment, 4) Change from baseline in pre-dose PIF (InCheck Device set to no resistance, resistance set equal to Turbuhaler S, and resistance set equal to ELLIPTA) following 1 week of treatment. 5) Change from baseline in 2-hour post-dose FEV1 following the first dose. 6) Change from baseline in 2-hour post-dose IC following the first dose.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline, day 1 and week 1
