Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) at Week 12
The primary efficacy analysis assessed the effect of QBW251 on the absolute change from baseline in trough FEV1 in liters on Week 12. Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) is calculated as the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second as measured by a spirometer. Baseline measurement was defined as the baseline visit pre-bronchodilator spirometry assessment. Change from baseline in the FEV1 mean scores were analyzed using a Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM): treatment + baseline score + smoking status at screening + run-in FEV1 + airflow limitation severity + region + time interval + treatment*time interval interaction + baseline score*time interval interaction.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1)
The primary efficacy analysis assessed the effect of QBW251 on the absolute change from baseline in trough FEV1 in liters compared to placebo on Weeks 4, 8, 16, 20 and 24. Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) is calculated as the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second as measured by a spirometer. Baseline measurement was defined as the baseline visit pre-bronchodilator spirometry assessment. A positive trend for change from baseline in FEV1 across the dose range is considered a favorable outcome.
Change From Baseline in Evaluating Respiratory Symptoms (E-RS); Total Score
The E-RS assesses overall daily respiratory COPD symptoms (Total score) and it is derived as the sum of 11 severity items; a higher scores indicate more severe symptoms. E-RS total score has a range of 0 to 40. Change from baseline in the E-RS Total weekly mean scores were analyzed using a Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM): treatment + baseline score + smoking status at screening + run-in E-RS + airflow limitation severity + region + time interval + treatment*time interval interaction + baseline score*time interval interaction. The mean baseline E-RS Total score was the average of the corresponding daily scores from the run-in period. A negative change from baseline corresponds to improvement in symptoms severity.
Change From Baseline in Evaluating Respiratory Symptoms (E-RS); Cough and Sputum Score
The E-RS assesses both overall daily respiratory COPD symptoms (Total score) and specific respiratory symptoms using 3 subscales (Breathlessness, Cough & Sputum, and Chest Symptoms). The E-RS comprises 11 severity items and higher scores indicate more severe symptoms. The Cough and Sputum subscale score has a range of 0 to 11 and was derived as the sum of items 2 - 4. Change from baseline in the E-RS Cough and Sputum weekly mean scores were analyzed using a Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM): treatment + baseline score + smoking status at screening + run-in E-RS + airflow limitation severity + region + time interval + treatment*time interval interaction + baseline score*time interval interaction. The mean baseline E-RS Cough & Sputum subscale score was the average of the corresponding daily scores from the run-in period. Lower scores in the change from baseline correspond to lower symptom severity.
Number of Participants With a "Better" Change in the Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) From Baseline
The PGI-S questionnaire is a patient-reported outcomes score that rates the severity of the respiratory symptoms and of cough and mucus. The change in severity scores (Better, No change and Worse) from baseline were reported at weeks 12 and 24. Thus, the number of participants with a Better change in the severity score are reported in the table below.
Change From Baseline in the Cough and Sputum Assessment Questionnaire (CASA-Q)
The CASA-Q is a validated questionnaire instrument used to measure cough and sputum production, and their impact in patients COPD and/or chronic bronchitis. It contains a total of 20 items on a 5-step scale distributed in 4 domains: Cough symptoms, Cough impact, Sputum symptoms and Sputum impact. All items are rescored from 1-5 to 0-4 and then reverse scored such that better responses have higher scores. The four domains are ranged from 0-100 where higher scores associated with fewer symptoms/less impact due to cough or sputum. Change from baseline in the CASA-Q cough and symptoms scores were analyzed using a Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM): treatment + baseline score + smoking status at screening + run-in E-RS + airflow limitation severity + region + time interval + treatment*time interval interaction + baseline score*time interval interaction.
Change From Baseline in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)
SGRQ measures health impairment and contains 50 items divided into three components: Symptoms, Activity and Impacts. A score was calculated for each component and a "Total" score was also calculated. In each case the lowest possible value is zero and the highest 100. Higher values correspond to greater impairment of quality of life. Change from baseline in the SGRQ scores were analyzed using a Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM): treatment + baseline score + smoking status at screening + baseline SGRQ score + airflow limitation severity + region + time interval + treatment*time interval interaction + baseline score*time interval interaction.
Minimum Plasma Concentration (Cmin) for QBW251
Venous whole blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetics characterization. Cmin was measured pre dose at all visits and was summarized using descriptive statistics. All concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) were treated as zero.
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for QBW251
Venous whole blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetics characterization. Cmax was calculated from plasma concentration data using non-compartmental methods and summarized using descriptive statistics. Cmax was measured in the samples taken at 3 hours post-dose with the exception of the participants included in the Serial PK set on Days 1 and 15 for whom all samples (1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours post-dose) were taken into consideration for the measurement of Cmax. All concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) were treated as zero.
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for QBW251 in Serial PK Set
Venous whole blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetics characterization. Cmax was calculated from plasma concentration data using non-compartmental methods and summarized using descriptive statistics. All concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) were treated as zero.
Area Under the Curve From Time 0 to 24 Hours (AUC0-24h) of QBW251 in Serial PK Set
Venous whole blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetics characterization. AUC0-24h was calculated from plasma concentration-time data using non-compartmental methods and summarized using descriptive statistics. All concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) were treated as zero.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This clinical study was designed to support the dose selection for future studies by evaluating efficacy and safety of different QBW251 doses in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with chronic bronchitis and a history of exacerbations, compared to placebo, when added to a triple inhaled therapy of LABA, LAMA and ICS.
Detailed Description
This study used a 6 treatment arm, parallel-group, randomized, double-blind study design. 974 male and female COPD patients were randomized into the trial. The study consisted of four distinct study periods: Screening (Weeks -3 to -2): Participants underwent a screening period of 1 week where were assessed for eligibility and tapered off disallowed medications. Run-in (Days -14 to 1): Subsequently, participants entered the run-in period of up to 2 weeks to establish baseline values for symptom assessments, to standardize the COPD background therapy (triple combination LABA/LAMA/ICS), and to complete eligibility assessments. Treatment (Day 1 to Week 24): Eligible participants moved into the Day 1 visit where they were stratified according to their smoking status (current or ex-smoker) and severity of airflow limitation (FEV1 ≥ 30% to < 50% and ≥ 50% to < 80%) and then randomized into 1 of 6 treatment arms with a randomization ratio of 2:2:1:1:1:2 (450 mg b.i.d., 300 mg b.i.d., 150 mg b.i.d., 75 mg b.i.d., 25 mg b.i.d., placebo). The treatment period consisted of 24 weeks, during which the participant returned to the site for regular visits (Day 1 - Week 24). QBW251 450 mg arm was discontinued early based on a pre-defined pharmacokinetic exposure stopping rule. Follow-up (Weeks 25-28): Upon completion of the treatment period, participants were followed up for safety assessments for 30 days.
