Brief summary

This is a randomised, controlled, two period cross-over, 4 weeks chronic dosing, study to evaluate the effects of Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate (BGF) and Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate (GFF) on airway dimensions.

Detailed description

This is a randomised, controlled, two period cross-over, 4 weeks chronic dosing, study to evaluate the effects of Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate (BGF), and Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate (GFF), on specific image based airway volumes and resistance in subjects with moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. In this study, airway dimension parameters will be calculated for each of the active compounds. This imaging methodology will allow an assessment of the extent of airway changes using a triple combination of Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate (BGF) and the dual combination Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate (GFF).

Inclusion criteria

Subject must be 40 years to ≤80 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent form at Visit 1. * COPD Diagnosis: Subjects with an established clinical history of COPD * Screening clinical laboratory tests must be acceptable to the Investigator. * Screening ECG must be acceptable to the Investigator * Individual Compliance: Subjects must be willing to remain at the study center as required per protocol to complete all visit assessments * Patients should be on scheduled maintenance treatment with one or more inhaled bronchodilator therapies.

Exclusion criteria

* As judged by the investigator, any evidence of significant diseases other than COPD, i.e., disease or condition which, in the investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for the subject to participate in the trial. * Spirometry Performance: 1. Subjects who cannot perform acceptable spirometry, i.e., meet ATS/ERS acceptability criteria. 2. Repeatability: Subjects who cannot perform technically acceptable spirometry in accordance with ATS repeatability criteria * Cancer: Subjects who have cancer that has not been in complete remission for at least five years. * Substance Abuse: Subjects, who in the opinion of the Investigator, significantly abuse alcohol or drugs * Subjects who in the opinion of the investigator are unable to abstain from prohibited medications including LABA/LAMAs/ICS

Recruitment details

This study randomized 23 subjects at 4 study centers (1 center in Belgium and 3 centers in the Netherlands) from Feb 2019 to Nov 2019.

Pre-assignment details

Subjects were randomized into 1 of 2 treatment sequences. Sequence 1 received BGF MDI in Period 1 followed by GFF MDI in Period 2. Sequence 2 received GFF MDI in Period 1 followed by BGF MDI in Period 2.
