Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Score Between Baseline and After End of Observation

    Change in mMRC (modified Medical Research Council) score between baseline and after end of observation (ca. 12 weeks of treatment, Visit 2). The modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale is a 5-point (0-4) scale based on the severity of dyspnoea, where a 0 is the best possible score with no disability and 4 is the worst possible score representing the most severity. The mMRC will be used to assess the breathlessness state of the patient with just one question: "When do you experience dyspnoea?", covering five everyday activities, potentially leading to dyspnoea and giving an according rate of 0 to 4 points. The Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID) is a change of 1.0 point. Change calculated as Visit 1 - Visit 2.

    Baseline at Visit 1 (day 0) and Visit 2 (planned at 12 week, up to a maximum of 42 weeks).

  • Change in CATᵀᴹ (COPD Assessment Test) Score Between Baseline and After End of Observation (ca. 12 Weeks of Treatment)

    The Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Assessment Test (CATᵀᴹ) was developed as a simple instrument to assess health status in patients with COPD. The CATᵀᴹ consists of eight items, each formatted as a semantic six-point differential scale, making the tool easy to administer and easy for patients to complete. These eight items cover cough, phlegm, chest tightness, breathlessness when going up hills/stairs, activity limitations at home, confidence leaving home, sleep and energy. Each item is scored from 0 to 5. Total CAT score is calculated as the sum over the 8 items, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 40, corresponding to the best and worst health status in patients with COPD, respectively. The Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID) is a change of 2.0 points. Change is calculated as Visit 1 - Visit 2.

    Baseline at Visit 1 (day 0) and Visit 2 (planned at 12 week, up to a maximum of 42 weeks).

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Patients' General Condition According to the Physician's Global Evaluation (PGE) Score at Baseline

    Baseline at Visit 1 (day 0)

  • Patients' General Condition According to the Physician's Global Evaluation (PGE) Score at the End of the Observation Period

    Visit 2 (planned at 12 week, up to a maximum of 42 weeks)

  • Patient Satisfaction With Inhaler and Therapy at End of Observation Period

    Visit 2 (planned at 12 week, up to a maximum of 42 weeks).

  • Number of Responders With Δ mMRC≥ 1

    Baseline at Visit 1 (day 0) and Visit 2 (planned at 12 week, up to a maximum of 42 weeks).

  • Number of Responders With Δ CAT≥ 2

    Baseline at Visit 1 (day 0) and Visit 2 (planned at 12 week, up to a maximum of 42 weeks).

Study Arms (2)

Spiolto® Respimat®

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients who were symptomatic (dyspneic) despite Long-acting beta2 adrenoceptor agonist/Inhalative Corticosteroids (LABA/ICS) maintenance treatment were switched to Spiolto® Respimat® inhaler by their attending physician in an real-world setting.

Drug: Spiolto® Respimat®

Triple-Therapy (LAMA/LABA/ICS)

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients who were symptomatic (dyspneic) despite Long-acting beta2 adrenoceptor agonist/Inhalative Corticosteroids (LABA/ICS) maintenance treatment were switched to any triple therapy Long-acting muscarinic antagonist + Long-acting beta2 adrenoceptor agonist + Inhalative Corticosteroids (LAMA + LABA + ICS) by their attending physician in an real-world setting.

Drug: Triple-Therapy (LAMA/LABA/ICS)

  • History or current diagnosis of asthma
  • History or current diagnosis of asthma-COPD overlap
  • History or current diagnosis of allergic rhinitis within the last 5 years
  • History or current diagnosis of lung cancer within the last 5 years
  • Participation in a parallel interventional clinical trial

Limitations and Caveats

There are some limitations due to the observational, non-randomized study concept. Imbalances between treatment groups could be due to the observational, non-randomized study design reflecting real-world data. Less patients than originally planned have been included (900 patients planned vs. 469 patients actual). Patient inclusion was impaired by the Corona pandemic from early spring 2020 on.
