The Prospective Non-Interventional DACCORD Study in the National COPD Registry in Germany: design and methods.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:A variety of large randomized controlled trials (RCT's) evaluating pharmacotherapy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients does exist. One of the drugs that has been tested is the new long-acting anticholinergic glycopyrronium bromide. METHODS:As the generalizability of results from RCT's is questionable we designed a longitudinal, prospective non-interventional study (DACCORD) of two years duration plus two years extension with at least 6000 participants in approximately 500 primary and secondary care practices in Germany (within the new established COPD National Prospective Registry), to assess patient reported outcomes (PRO's), lung function, adherence and drug safety. To circumvent the hurdle of inappropriate COPD diagnosis in a non-interventional trial, patients have to fulfill the inclusion criteria of the COPD disease management program (DMP) of the German statutory health insurances. Patient management should follow the German national COPD guidelines, which are based on Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2007 (GOLD) report. Labels of prescribed drugs should also be taken into account. Patients received treatment as part of their standard care: at the discretion of the investigator patients were included in one of two arms. A: standard care with glycopyrronium containing regimen, and arm B: standard care without glycopyrronium. DISCUSSION:For 2016 we expect important results regarding longitudinal development of PRO's including exacerbations, lung function, adherence and side effects. We also investigate applicability of the new GOLD staging system in usual care. Data on diagnostic and treatment modalities in current German primary and secondary care, as well as pharmaco-economic data will be generated. TRIAL REGISTRATION:1.
