Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Dose Ranging Trial of 4 Doses of Indacaterol Delivered Via the TWISTHALER® Device in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (NCT NCT00557466)

NCT ID: NCT00557466

Last Updated: 2013-01-18

Results Overview

FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation. Change from baseline to 24 hour post dose trough FEV1 after 14 days of treatment was analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) adjusting for treatment and region with baseline FEV1 as a covariate.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (prior to first dose) and Day 15 (24 hours after last dose)

Population: The intent-to-treat population (ITT) population consisted of all randomized patients who had a baseline and at least one post-dose FEV1 measurement. The analysis only includes patients with non-missing data.

FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation. Change from baseline to 24 hour post dose trough FEV1 after 14 days of treatment was analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) adjusting for treatment and region with baseline FEV1 as a covariate.

Population: The intent-to-treat population (ITT) population consisted of all randomized patients who had a baseline and at least one post-dose FEV1 measurement. The analysis only includes patients with non-missing data, indicated by "N".

FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation. Time to peak FEV1 is calculated in minutes from the time of inhalation of study drug to the time of the peak FEV1, which is taken as the maximum FEV1 recorded post-dose.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (recorded during the screening period) and Days 1-14 (treatment period).

Population: Intent to treat population. The analysis only includes patients with non-missing data.

The Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) rate is the maximal rate that a person can exhale during a short maximal expiratory effort after fully inhaling. Participants measured their PEF using a peak flow meter prior to taking study medication and recorded measurements in a diary every morning and evening during the study. Change from baseline is the difference between the mean baseline PEF recorded during the screening period until the first day of treatment, and the overall mean PEF from Days 1 to 14.
