Brief Summary

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

This study assessed the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of two different formulations of indacaterol, one administered via the Concept1 device and one administered via the Simoon device. The study aimed to determine whether the novel formulation (Simoon) had a similar profile to that of the established formulation (Concept1).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study was double-blind with regards to the Concept1, where placebo for the lactose-blended indacaterol was available. However, with regards to the Simoon, neither the subject nor the investigator was blinded due to lack of a placebo to the PulmoSphere formulation. Hence, the overall designation of the study was partially-blind.

Indacaterol 150μg-placebo-Indacaterol 60μg-Indacaterol 120μg

In treatment period 1, patients received indacaterol 150 μg via the Concept1 dry-powder inhaler (DPI); in treatment period 2, patients received placebo to indacaterol via the Concept1 DPI; in treatment period 3, patients received indacaterol 60 μg via the Simoon DPI; and in treatment period 4, patients received indacaterol 120 μg via the Simoon DPI. Patients received each treatment only once. There was a washout period of 14-17 days between treatments for patients undergoing pharmacokinetic (PK) assessments; for patients not undergoing PK assessments, the washout period was 7-10 days. Daily inhaled corticosteroid treatment (if applicable) was to remain stable throughout the study. The short-acting β2-agonist salbutamol was available for rescue use throughout the study.
