Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of Indacaterol on Inspiratory Capacity (IC) (NCT NCT01012765)

NCT ID: NCT01012765

Last Updated: 2016-02-17

Results Overview

IC was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Peak IC was defined as the maximum IC of the mean over the 3 values which were measured each at 30min, 2 hour, 3 hour and 4 hour post dose by body plethysmography. Analysis of variance model was used with the factors: center, period, treatment, and patients within center.

Tiotropium - Placebo - Indacaterol
In treatment period 1, patients received tiotropium 18µg twice daily; in treatment period 2, patients received placebo to indacaterol once daily; in treatment period 3, patients received indacaterol 150µg once daily. Patients received indacaterol and placebo by single-dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI); tiotropium was delivered via a proprietary inhalation device. There was a washout period of 13 days between each period. Use of fixed-dose combination of an anticholinergic plus a short-acting β2-agonist and use of long-acting β2-agonists were discontinued. Salbutamol rescue use was allowed during the treatment period as needed.

Timeframe: 21 days

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study medication during at least one study period. Participants with observations after 21 days were included in the analysis.
