EU Clinical Trial Information System (CTIS)

Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.

I searched for some studies on AstraZeneca Clinical Trials, and found these studies that may also be of interest to you.

Official Title

500 mcg, once daily, oral administration in the morning

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of roflumilast on exacerbation rate and pulmonary function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Roflumilast will be administered orally once daily in the morning at one dose level. The study duration will last up to 56 weeks. The study will provide further data on safety and tolerability of roflumilast.

Effect of roflumilast on exacerbation rate in patients with COPD. The AURA Study

Mean change from baseline during the treatment period in pre-bronchodilator FEV1 [L]

Mean rate of COPD exacerbations requiring oral or parenteral glucocorticosteroids (=moderate COPD exacerbations), or requiring hospitalization, or leading to death (=severe COPD exacerbations), per patient per year. A COPD exacerbation is an event in the natural course of the disease characterized by a change in the patient’s baseline dyspnea, cough and/or sputum beyond day-to-day variability sufficient to warrant a change in management [American Thoracic Society (ATS) / European Respiratory Society (ERS) 2005].

Mean change from baseline to the last post randomization measurement in natural log-transformed CRP

Natural log-transformed C-reactive protein (CRP)

The TDI is a recognized questionnaire to measure dyspnea in an out patient COPD population. At baseline, 3 components of dyspnea, each graded with 4 questions, were asked: - Functional Impairment - Magnitude of Task - Magnitude of Effort At each of the post-randomization visits questions from the TDI were asked related to 3 components: Change in - Functional Impairment - Magnitude of Task - Magnitude of Effort Each question in the TDI is graded from –3 (major deterioration) to +3 (major improvement). This results in a TDI Focal Score ranging from –9 to +9.
