NCT02833480

Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the effects of budesonide (using Symbicort which is budesonide and formoterol) and fluticasone (using Advair which is fluticasone and salmeterol) on the airway microorganisms of patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is a randomized, parallel group, two-centered clinical trial study to evaluate the effects of a 12 week treatment with Symbicort 400 mcg BID and Advair 250 mcg BID (via Diskus) on airway microbiota in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD. The control arm of this study will be Oxeze 12 ug BID.

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures.
  • History of moderate to very severe COPD with a post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) \<0.70 and a post-bronchodilator FEV1\>20% and ≤80% of predicted normal value at screening.
  • Current smoker or ex-smoker with a tobacco history of ≥10 pack-years (1 pack year= 20 cigarettes smoked per day for 1 year).

You may not qualify if:

  • Clinically important pulmonary disease other than COPD (e.g. active lung infection, clinically significant bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, hypoventilation syndrome associated with obesity, and primary ciliary dyskinesia) and/ or radiological findings suggestive of a respiratory disease other than COPD that is contributing to the subject's respiratory symptoms.
  • Any disorder, including, but not limited to, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, neurological, musculoskeletal, infectious, endocrine, metabolic, haematological, psychiatric, or major physical impairment that is not stable in the opinion of the Investigator and could:
  • Affect the safety of the subject throughout the study
  • Influence the findings of the study or their interpretation
  • Impede the subject's ability to complete the entire duration of study Subjects who have epilepsy must be on a stable dose of medication for 30 days prior to Visit 4.
  • Unstable ischemic heart disease, or uncontrolled arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and renal failure, or uncontrolled hypertension as defined by the Investigator, or any other relevant cardiovascular disorder as judged by the Investigator
  • Treatment with systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics, and/or hospitalization for a COPD exacerbation within 8 weeks prior to enrolment (Visit 1), based on last dose of steroids or last date of hospitalization whatever occurred later.
  • Acute upper or lower respiratory infection requiring antibiotics or antiviral medication within 2 weeks prior to enrolment (Visit 1).
  • Pneumonia within 8 weeks prior to enrolment (Visit 1), based on the last day of antibiotic treatment or hospitalization date, whatever occurred later.
  • Pregnant, breastfeeding, or lactating women.
  • Any clinically significant abnormal findings in physical examination, vital signs, haematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis during screening/run-in period, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may put the subject at risk because of his/her participation in the study, or may influence the results of the study, or the subject's ability to complete entire duration of the study.
  • Use of immunosuppressive medication, including rectal corticosteroids, high potency topical corticosteroids and systemic steroids within 28 days prior to randomization.
  • Receipt of blood products within 30 days prior to enrollment (Visit 1).
  • Receipt of any investigational non-biologic product within 30 days or 5 half-lives prior to Visit 1.
  • History of alcohol or drug abuse within the past year, which may compromise the study data interpretation as judged by Investigator or Study Physician.
  • +4 more criteria
