Conditions: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Summary: a clinical study to investigate if a single dose of an approved drug product (glycopyrrolate inhalation solution) reduces trapped air in the lungs of participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. this study is accepting male and female participants over the age of 40. the study will be conducted at one site located in the united states.

this is a single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, 2-way crossover study in approximately 20 adult subjects ≥ 40 years of age with copd. the study is designed to evaluate the effect of a single dose of gis on lung hyperinflation. the two study treatments, both administered using the magnair device. the study will randomize 10 subjects per treatment sequence, for a total of 20 subjects. at the sponsor's discretion, additional subjects may be enrolled in an effort to achieve at least 20 completers, with no more than 24 subjects randomize. the study will consist of a screening period, a randomized 2-way cross-over treatment period during which subjects will receive two single-doses each separated by a 7-day washout period, and a follow-up 7 (± 2) days after the last study drug dose. this study is designed to test the hypothesis that in adults with copd subjects as characterized by the study inclusion/exclusion criteria, after 2 cross-over periods of treatment, the primary null hypothesis for this study is that the mean change of rv from baseline at 6 hours postdose for a single dose of gis is equal to the mean change of rv from baseline at 6 hours postdose for a single dose of placebo inhalation solution (pis). the alternative hypothesis is that these means are different.
