Assessment of Physical Functioning and Handling of Spiolto® Respimat® in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Requiring Long-acting Dual Bronchodilation in Routine Clinical Practice

Assessment of Physical Functioning and Handling of Spiolto® Respimat® in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Requiring Long-acting Dual Bronchodilation in Routine Clinical Practice

The primary objective of the study is to measure changes in physical functioning - serving as a surrogate for physical activity and exercise capacity - in COPD patients being treated with Spiolto® Respimat® after approximately 6 weeks. A secondary objective is to evaluate the patient¿s general condition (physician¿s evaluation) at visit 1 (baseline visit at the start of the study) and at visit 2 (final visit at the end of the study, approx. 6 weeks after visit 1), as well as patient satisfaction with Spiolto® Respimat® at visit 2.

Inclusion criteria:

1. Written informed consent prior to participation
2. Female and male patients = 40 years of age
3. Patients diagnosed with COPD and requiring long-acting dual bronchodilation (LAMA + LABA) treatment according to approved Spiolto® Respimat® SmPC and COPD GOLD guideline recommendation

Exclusion criteria:

1. Patients with contraindications according to Spiolto® Respimat® SmPC
2. Patients who have been treated with a LABA/LAMA combination (free and fixed dose) in the previous 6 months
3. Patients continuing LABA- Inhalative Corticosteroides (iCS)treatment should not be additionally treated with Spiolto® Respimat® in order to avoid a double dosing of long-acting beta-agonists
4. Patients for whom further follow-up is not possible at the enrolling site during the planned study period of approx. 6 weeks
5. Pregnancy and lactation
6. Patients currently listed for lung transplantation
7. Current participation in any clinical trial or any other non-interventional study of a drug or device
