Brief summary

To evaluate the long-term safety and monitor the long-term efficacy of arformoterol over a period of 6 months in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Detailed description

This is a double-blind, double-dummy, multicenter, randomized, active-controlled, parallel group, outpatient, safety study to evaluate the long term safety of arformoterol in the treatment of subjects with COPD. Study participation will be over approximately 6 months. This study was previously posted by Sepracor Inc. In October 2009, Sepracor Inc. was acquired by Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma., and in October 2010, Sepracor Inc's name was changed to Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Time-Normalized Area Under the Curve (nAUC) From 0 to 6 Hrs for Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Changes From Baselineweeks 0,3,13,26Area under the change from baseline curve from 0 to 6 hours. Time-normalized AUC (0-6 hrs) was derived using the linear trapezoidal method.
Transitional (Relative Change in) Dyspnea Indexweeks 13, 26The transitional focal score (-9 to 9) is the sum of relative change from baseline for the Functional Impairment, Magnitude of Task, and Magnitude of Effort scores (each -3 to 3 scale). A Transitional Dyspnea Index score of -9 represents a maximum degradation of all three tests; a score of 9 represents a maximum improvement of all three tests.
Number of Participants With an Improved Transitional Dyspnea Indexweeks 13, 26The number of participants with a transitional focal score (range -9 to 9) of \>=1 improvement. Transitional focal score compares current health against baseline for the Functional Impairment, Magnitude of Task, and Magnitude of Effort scores. A score of -9 is maximum worsening and 9 is maximum improvement.
Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Changes From Baseline for 24 Hour Post Dose Timepoint (Trough)weeks 0,3,13,26The 24 hour trough is the FEV1 value obtained 24 hours post first dose. This value is compared to the baseline FEV1 value.

Inspiratory Capacity Changes From Baseline

Mean Change in Inspiratory Capacity values from baseline (baseline assessment obtained at Visit 2, pre-dose). Spirometry measurements collected within 6 hours following in-clinic rescue/supplemental medications use were excluded from analysis.

Time frame: weeks 0,3,13,26

Population: ITT Population This outcome was added as an amendment after the study was initiated; therefore approximately half of the ITT population had these assessments at baseline. An available cases analysis was performed with no imputation for missing data.

Transitional (Relative Change in) Dyspnea Index

The transitional focal score (-9 to 9) is the sum of relative change from baseline for the Functional Impairment, Magnitude of Task, and Magnitude of Effort scores (each -3 to 3 scale). A Transitional Dyspnea Index score of -9 represents a maximum degradation of all three tests; a score of 9 represents a maximum improvement of all three tests.
