Detailed Description

This is a randomized, six-way crossover study to determine the efficacy and dose-response profile of SUN101. The study population will consist of subjects 40 to 65 years-old (inclusive), with a diagnosis of moderate to severe COPD. Aclidinium bromide 400 mcg bid will be given as an active comparator. The study will be double-blind for SUN-101 and placebo and will be open-label for aclidinium.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Change From Baseline in Trough FEV1 at Treatment Visit Day 7 Compared to Placebo.
    • Time Frame: Baseline and Day 7
    • Spirometry was performed according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FEV1 was defined as the average of the 2 spirometry values collected at 23 hours 15 minutes, and 23 hours 45 minutes post-morning dose on Day 7 of each Treatment Period. The FEV1 values within 6 hours after the use of rescue medication were considered as missing. Baseline was calculated as the mean of the FEV1 values at 45 minutes and 15 minutes prior to the morning dose at Day 1 of each Treatment Period

Secondary Measures

  • Standardized Change From Baseline in FEV1 AUC(0-12hours)
    • Time Frame: Day 7
    • The standardized FEV1 AUC(0-12) on Day 7 was calculated using the trapezoidal rule from the changes in FEV1 from the baseline value (the mean of the two FEV1 values at 45 minutes and 15 minutes prior to morning dose at Day 1 of the respective Treatment Periods) and dividing by the actual length of the time interval).
  • Number of Subjects With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (Overall and by Treatment)
    • Time Frame: Over 7 days
    • A treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) is any TEAE that occurred on or after the first dose of study medication, any SAE with a missing start date and a stop date on or after the first dose of study medication, or any TEAE with both a missing start and stop date.
  • Percentage of Subjects With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (Overall and by Treatment)
    • Time Frame: Over 7 days
    • A treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) is any TEAE that occurred on or after the first dose of study medication, any SAE with a missing start date and a stop date on or after the first dose of study medication, or any TEAE with both a missing start and stop date.
