Brief Summary:
The Objectives of this study are to assess the safety of Aclidinium bromide on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), to assess the overall safety of Aclidinium bromide and to assess whether Aclidinium bromide reduces moderate or severe COPD exacerbations. This study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the effect of Aclidinium bromide on the cardiovascular safety and COPD exacerbations in patients with moderate to very severe COPD, as defined by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) criteria.

 Drug: Placebo
Dose matched placebo, twice per day, oral administration via a multi-dose dry-powder inhaler (DPI)


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rate of Moderate or Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbations Per Subject Per Year During the First Year of Treatment [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    The rate (number of events per subject per year) of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations during the first year of treatment based on on-treatment analysis with treatment group, baseline inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) use, baseline COPD severity, history of at least 1 exacerbation in the past year, and smoking status as factors and the log of the exposure time adjusted for the time the subjects experienced exacerbations as an offset variable.

  2. Number of Participants With Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE) - on Study Analysis [ Time Frame: At Screening, Treatment period (upto 36 months) and Post-treatment follow-up (PTFU) ]
    To assess the cardiovascular (CV) safety of aclidinium bromide on MACEs. The number of subjects with an adjudicated composite MACE with treatment group, baseline CV severity, and smoking status as factors. MACE for the analyses was defined as any adjudicated event which was a composite of the total of CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), or non-fatal stroke (on-study analysis).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rate of Hospitalizations Due to COPD Exacerbation Per Subject Per Year During the First Year of Treatment- on Treatment Analysis [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    To assess whether aclidinium bromide reduces moderate or severe COPD exacerbations. The rate of hospitalization (number of events per subject per year) due to COPD exacerbations during the first year of treatment based on on-treatment analysis with treatment group, baseline ICS use, baseline COPD severity, history of at least 1 exacerbation in the past year, and smoking status as factors and the log of the exposure time adjusted for the time the subjects experienced exacerbations as an offset variable.

  2. Number of Participants With Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE) or Other Serious Cardiovascular Events of Interest - On-study Analysis [ Time Frame: At Screening, Treatment period (upto 36 months) and Post-treatment follow-up (PTFU) ]

    To assess the CV safety of aclidinium bromide on MACEs. The number of subjects with an adjudicated MACE or other serious CV events of interest with treatment group, baseline CV severity, and smoking status as factors.

    Other serious CV events included events from Cardiac tachyarrhythmias plus preferred terms (PTs) Tachycardia, Heart rate increase, and Palpitation; Cardiac failure; Bradycardia and PTs Sinus arrest and Sinus bradycardia; Conduction defects; Conditions associated with Central nervous system haemorrhages and cerebrovascular accidents; and selected PTs included in the Other ischemic heart disease.
