Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Four Doses of Glycopyrronium Bromide (NVA237) in Patients With Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), in Comparison to an Active Comparator Tiotropium (NCT NCT00501852)

NCT ID: NCT00501852

Last Updated: 2012-05-08

Results Overview

FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation, measured through spirometry testing. The trough in FEV1 was defined as the mean of two measurements at 23h 15min and 23h 45min post dosing.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 7

Population: Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population. The modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population included all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study drug. Patients were analyzed according to the treatment they received.

FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation, measured through spirometry testing. The trough in FEV1 was defined as the mean of two measurements at 23h 15min and 23h 45min post dosing.
