An Exploratory, 12 Week, Randomised, Partially Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled Parallel Group Trial to Explore the Effects of Once Daily Treatments of Orally Inhaled Tiotropium + Olodaterol Fixed Dose Combination or Tiotropium (Both Delivered by Respimat® Inhaler), Supervised Exercise Training and Behavior Modification on Exercise Capacity and Physical Activity in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Abstract
The primary objectives of the study are to explore the effect of treatment with orally inhaled tiotropium + olodaterol fixed dose combination with and without exercise training, and tiotropium comparing to placebo, on top of behavioural modification in improving exercise capacity in patients with COPD
Conditions: Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive.
Primary outcome: Endurance Time During Endurance Shuttle Walk Test (ESWT) to Symptom Limitation After 8 Weeks.
Enrollment: 304 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 304 participants or records.
