Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study compared the 24-hour spirometry profile of indacaterol with that of placebo and with tiotropium as an active control in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Sequence 1: Placebo,Tiotropium, Indacaterol 150 μg

In period I, placebo to indacaterol (150 or 300 μg) delivered via SDDPI. The placebo for blinding tiotropium was delivered via the tiotropium inhalation device. In period II, tiotropium (18 μg) once daily delivered via inhalation device and matching placebo to indacaterol delivered once daily via single dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI). In period III, indacaterol 150 μg once daily delivered via SDDPI and placebo to tiotropium was delivered once daily via the tiotropium inhalation device. Daily inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) monotherapy (where applicable) was provided to remain stable throughout study. The Short acting (beta) β2-agonist (SABA) was available for rescue use throughout the study.
