Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Determine the Onset of Action of Indacaterol in Patients With Moderate to Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (NCT NCT00669617)

NCT ID: NCT00669617

Last Updated: 2011-09-12

Results Overview

FEV1 was measured at 5 minutes after dosing with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. The time of dosing was defined as the time corresponding to the use of the first inhaler device. The primary variable was analyzed using a mixed model containing the period baseline FEV1 as covariate. The period baseline FEV1 was the average of the FEV1 value measured in the clinic at 50 and 15 min prior to the study drug administration in that period.

Ind 150μg, Salm/Flut, Ind 300μg, Placebo, Salbut
Participants received a single dose of each treatment from Period I - V in the following order, separated by a washout period of 4-7 days: Indacaterol 150 μg (Ind 150μg), Salmeterol/fluticasone 50/500 μg (Salm/flut), Indacaterol 300 μg (Ind 300μg), Placebo, Salbutamol 200 μg (Salbut). At each treatment visit, participants received the specified treatment and 2 placebo inhalations (one inhalation from the SDDPI, and one inhalation from each of the two MDDPIs) to maintain blinding. Daily inhaled corticosteroid treatment (if applicable) was to remain stable throughout the study. The short-acting β2-agonist salbutamol/albuterol was available for rescue use throughout the study.

Total Population
n=89 Participants
Participants were randomized to one of five treatment sequences. Each treatment sequence comprised 5 double-blind, single dose treatment periods (Periods I to V), separated by a washout period of 4-7 days. Participants received each of the 5 blinded-treatments: indacaterol 150 μg, indacaterol 300 μg, salmeterol/fluticasone 50/500 μg, salbutamol 200 μg and placebo.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Five Minutes Post Dose

Population: Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population: including all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study drug. If any of the values used in the period baseline FEV1 and FEV1 at 5 min post-dose were collected within 6 hours of rescue medication, then the individual FEV1 value was set to missing.

FEV1 was measured at 5 minutes after dosing with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. The time of dosing was defined as the time corresponding to the use of the first inhaler device. The primary variable was analyzed using a mixed model containing the period baseline FEV1 as covariate. The period baseline FEV1 was the average of the FEV1 value measured in the clinic at 50 and 15 min prior to the study drug administration in that period.
