Scientific titleProspective randomised controlled trial to investigate the effectiveness of inhalers for the relief of breathlessness in patients with lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Study acronymADOPT
Study objectivesWe hypothesise that undiagnosed COPD is common in breathless patients with lung cancer and identification and optimisation of their treatment with inhaled therapy (locally-acting bronchodilators and corticosteroids) may improve breathlessness beyond that achievable with best supportive care.
Ethics approval(s)South East Research Ethics Committee, 13/10/2010, ref: 10/H1102/66
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedLung cancer, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
InterventionPatients will be randomised to one of two groups
1. Intervention group:
1.1. Ventolin Evohaler 100 micrograms, 2 inhalations 4 times a day
1.2. Spiriva 18 micrograms one inhalation a day
1.3. Seretide Accuhaler 50 microgram/500 microgram inhaler one inhalation twice a day.
These therapies in combination are the mainstay of symptomatic management in patients with COPD. Each patient will remain on study medication for 4 weeks.
2. Control group: Treatment as usual
Intervention typeDrug
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)
Primary outcome measure(s)

Proportion of patients who have a ≥ 2 point change in their Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for dyspnoea at 4 weeks

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

1. Six-minute walk test (6MWT) at 2 and 4 weeks
2. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at 2 and 4 weeks
3. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) at 2 and 4 weeks
4. Quality of life using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire + Lung cancer module (EORTC C-30 + L13) at 4 weeks
5. Level of physical activity using the St Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) activity scale at 4 weeks
6. To investigate and describe the relationship of breathlessness and obstructive lung disease (% predicted FEV1) in patients with lung cancer
7. To investigate and describe any relationship between breathlessness and the position of the tumour in relation to the bronchial tree (large airway/central Vs peripheral)
