Indacaterol 150 μg-tiotropium 18 μg-placebo

Patients received indacaterol 150 μg once. After a 5-9 days washout period, patients received tiotropium 18 μg once. After a second 5-9 days washout period, patients received placebo (matching indacaterol) once. All treatments were delivered via a single dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI). The short-acting β2-agonist salbutamol was available for rescue use throughout the study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Indacaterol 150 μg

Intervention Type DRUG

Indacaterol was supplied in powder filled capsules together with a single dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI) device.

Tiotropium 18 μg

Intervention Type DRUG

Tiotropium was supplied in powder filled capsules together with a single dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI) device.

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

Placebo (matching indacaterol) was supplied in powder filled capsules together with a single dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI) device.

Tiotropium 18 μg-placebo-indacaterol 150 μg

Patients received tiotropium 18 μg once. After a 5-9 days washout period, patients received placebo (matching indacaterol) once. After a second 5-9 days washout period, patients received indacaterol 150 μg once. All treatments were delivered via a single dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI). The short-acting β2-agonist salbutamol was available for rescue use throughout the study.
