UMIN-CTR Clinical Trial

Unique ID issued by UMIN UMIN000054323
Receipt number R000062058
Scientific Title The study comparing the effects of transitioning from long-acting bronchodilators: beta2 agonists (LABA) (inhaled) and anticholinergics (LAMA) (inhaled) treatment to the addition of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in the ICS/LAMA/LABA regimen on the clinical course of COPD, and the additional impact of ICS based on the results from MostGraph.

Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In this study, we focus on a group of COPD patients with stable symptoms under current treatment, despite experiencing symptoms due to COPD. These patients have been undergoing treatment with a combination of either LAMA/LABA or ICS/LAMA/LABA as their basic therapeutic regimen for three months and are deemed not to require changes in their treatment plan.

Based on previous findings from our facility using IOS, the addition of ICS is believed to increase the ratio of elastic resistance/inertial resistance within airway resistance components. In light of this, the aim is to assess the clinical efficacy of further adding ICS to LAMA/LABA combination therapy.

The study compares the transition from one year of LAMA/LABA therapy to one year of ICS/LAMA/LABA therapy, or from one year of ICS/LAMA/LABA combination therapy to one year of LAMA/LABA therapy. The assessment includes the comparison of IOS, blood tests, symptoms, lung function tests, and detailed progression of COPD exacerbations over one year in the two groups.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Temporal changes in IOS (impulse oscillometry system) over a period of one year, including R5 (respiratory system resistance values at 5 Hz) as an index of total airway resistance, R20 (respiratory system resistance values at 20 Hz) as an index of central airway resistance, X5 (reactance at 5 Hz) as an index of frequency-dependent resistance, and Fres (frequency of resonance) as an index of airway resistance components.

Key secondary outcomes

Changes in assessment items commonly used for observing the clinical course of COPD, such as lung function tests and clinical symptoms, before and after LAMA/LABA therapy and ICS/LAMA/LABA therapy.

1. Patients aged 40 and older (both genders)
2. Patients diagnosed with COPD without other coexisting lung diseases at the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Nippon Medical School Hospital or the Respiratory Care Clinic of Nippon Medical School, who are starting either LAMA/LABA treatment or ICS/LAMA/LABA treatment.

Patients who are not expected to require a change in their treatment plan after more than three months of LAMA/LABA treatment or ICS/LAMA/LABA treatment.
