Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to describe patients' clinical and self-reported outcomes of treatment with budesonide / glycopyrronium / formoterol Metered dose inhaler (BGF MDI) in Romania in real-life setting, up to 6 month of observation period. The study will focus primarily on the change in self-perceived health status in the first 12 weeks (3 months) of treatment with no pre-defined hypothesis.
Detailed description
This is a prospective, non-interventional, multi-centre study to investigate the change in patient-reported outcomes in moderate to severe COPD patients newly initiated on TRIXEO AEROSPHERE (budesonide / glycopyrronium / formoterol) in real-life setting in Romania. Furthermore, the patient satisfaction with the medication taken shall be assessed in the real-world setting; an important component that is not usually captured by RCTs. Patients with moderate to severe COPD who are eligible for BGF MDI therapy may be enrolled by physicians in the specialist care setting and the decision to prescribe BGF MDI must be independent of enrollment into the study. This is a combined primary and secondary data collection study conducted to characterize the population of patients with COPD initiating triple therapy with BGF MDI in real-life setting. Thus, exposure data collected in this study will be primarily on BGF MDI treatment indicated for moderate to severe COPD patients as part of routine medical care. Primary data collection includes PROs; all other data will be documented based on the existing medical records (secondary data collection), either historically or throughout the period of 6-month follow-up, as part of the routine practical care of the patients.
Interventions
Trixeo Aerosphere 5 micrograms/7.2 micrograms/160 micrograms pressurised inhalation, suspension. The COnCORD study is an observational study that will be conducted in a real-life setting in Romania and is not designed to evaluate medicinal products given according to a specific randomised schedule. Treatment with BGF MDI treatment prescribed as per current practice, according to the SmPC and local market reimbursement criteria
