About this trial

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of BGF MDI compared with placebo MDI on cardiac and lung function when administered in participants diagnosed with COPD and hyperinflation.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Current or former smoker with a history of ≥ 10 pack-years of tobacco smoking.

A diagnosis of COPD confirmed by a post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) < 0.7.

At Visit 1: A pre-bronchodilator FEV1 < 80%.

At Visit 1: Peripheral blood eosinophil count < 300 cells/cubic millimeter (mm³), with no recorded history of eosinophil count > 300 cells/mm³ in the past 12 months.

Disqualifiers

A current diagnosis of asthma, asthma-COPD overlap, or any other chronic respiratory disease other than COPD, such as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, active tuberculosis, lung cancer, lung fibrosis, sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary hypertension.

History of a COPD exacerbation that required hospitalisation, or 2 or more COPD exacerbations that required systemic corticosteroids.

History of myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome.

History or current clinically significant atrial or ventricular arrhythmia to be confirmed by electrocardiogram (ECG).

Trial design

Design model

Crossover

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate

    Drug

    BGF will be administered as 2 inhalations via oral route of administration

  • Placebo

    Drug

    Matching placebo will be administered as 2 inhalations via oral route of administration

  • Metered dose inhaler

    Device

    Participants will receive BGF and matching placebo via metered dose inhaler in treatment periods of the study.

Treatment groups

56 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Sequence 1: BGF MDI and PlaceboExperimental treatment 3 interventions
Group B: Sequence 2: Placebo and BGF MDIExperimental treatment 3 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change from baseline in left ventricular end diastolic volume indexed by body surface area (LVEDVi) measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

The effect of BGF relative to placebo on LVEDVi in participants with COPD and hyperinflation will be evaluated.

Time frame
Up to 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Change from baseline in functional residual capacity/total lung capacity (FRC/TLC) measured by body plethysmography

The effect of BGF relative to placebo on FRC/TLC will be evaluated.

Time frame
Up to 3 weeks
2

Change from baseline in residual volume/total lung capacity (RV/TLC) measured by body plethysmography

The effect of BGF relative to placebo on RV/TLC will be evaluated.

Time frame
Up to 3 weeks
