2.Concept of control can potentially be used
to motivate and educate patients

12. OPCRD UK Pilot: low impact
• Clinical impact refers to the current repercussion the disease has on
the patient.
• Observation suggests that the clinical impact may be different for the
same level of prognostic severity, thereby indicating that other
factors (not identified) may contribute to the current clinical situation
of the patient.
• An initial pilot study to be conducted in patients in the Optimum
Patient Care Research Database (OPCRD) to examine what
proportion of participants meet the definition of low impact.

20. Objectives
A multicenter, observational longitudinal study with the following
objectives.
• Primary objective:
o Identify the degree of control in an international cohort of
unselected COPD patients.
o Compare the outcomes of controlled versus uncontrolled
patients during two years follow-up.
• Secondary objectives:
o Compare the clinical variables with CAT and CCQ as tool to
identify impact and stability in COPD
o Identify differences in the degree of control according to
adequacy of treatment as suggested by current guidelines.
o Identify demographic and clinical characteristics associated with
poor control of COPD.
21. Study design
Methodology:
• Exploratory study to determine the measure of 'control' of COPD
through a combined measurement of 'impact' (cross-sectional) and
'stability' (longitudinal).
Participants:
• ≥285 COPD patients from ≥5 participating centers throughout
Europe.
Ecology of care:
• Throughout the trial, patients will be managed according to the
criteria of the investigators.
• Patients will be visited every 6 months for a total of 5 visits in which
the level of control will be recorded.
• The initial frequency of control will be analyzed and the changes in
control during the follow-up will be recorded.

Patients will be visited every 6 months for a total of 5 visits in which the level
of control will be recorded. The initial frequency of control will be analyzed and
the changes in control during the follow-up will be recorded.
23. Control
• The degree of control of the patient will be:
o Related to the underlying biological activity of the disease
(controlled patients should have less biological activity);
o Associated with different clinically relevant outcomes (greater
control, better outcomes); and,
o Modified by the treatment in that the therapeutic objective
involves seeking control for each level of basal severity.
o Considered complementary to:
– Their clinical phenotype and
– the level of prognostic severity of the disease.
• Control evaluations will be performed every time the patients visit
their physician outside the periods of exacerbation and will
obligatorily include assessment of impact and stability.
24. Endpoints
• Primary endpoint: to evaluate control based on:
o Impact
o Stability
• Secondary endpoints:
o Comparison of CAT and CCQ as tools to identify impact
and stability in COPD
o Differences in the degree of control according to adequacy
of treatment
o Demographic and clinical characteristics associated with
poor control of COPD
27. Timeline for implementation
Recruitment / data collection:
• Start: Q3 2015
• End: Q3 2017
Reporting:
• Non-Interventional Study Report date (interim/ final report as
applicable):
o Cross-sectional Impact measurements available by Q1
2016.
o The final report including longitudinal study and control
measurements will be available Q3 2017.

35. Definition: stability
• To establish the stability of a patient with COPD the following two
criteria must be fulfilled:
1. Absence of exacerbation, including the inherent phase of
recovery from the exacerbation.
2. Absence of significant clinical worsening during a period of
time, that is, that stability includes the absence of significant
clinical changes and/or the presence of improvement (positive
changes).
• The questionnaires of clinical control such as CAT or CCQ may also
be potentially useful to evaluate clinical changes over time. In the
case of the CAT it has been described that a change of greater than
2 points may indicate clinically significant deterioration, with the
same occurring with a change greater than 0.4 points for the CCQ.
