Trial Outcomes & Findings for Long Term Safety and Tolerability of NVA237 Versus Tiotropium in Japanese Patients (NCT NCT01119937)

NCT ID: NCT01119937

Last Updated: 2013-01-18

Results Overview

Adverse events are defined as any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign (including an abnormal lab finding), syndrome or disease which either occurs during study, having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, appears to worsen. Serious adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require (or prolong) hospitalization, cause persistent or significant disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or are other conditions which in judgments of the investigators represent significant hazards.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Weeks 12, 24, 36 and 52

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT) population - included all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study drug. Only participants with measurements at both baseline and the specified timepoint were included in the analysis for the specific timepoint.

Pre-dose FEV1 is defined as the average of the measurements at 45 and 15 minutes pre-dose.

Moderate COPD exacerbations were defined as: worsening of 2 or more of the following major symptoms for at least 2 consecutive days - dyspnea, sputum volume and sputum purulence; OR a worsening of any 1 major symptom with any 1 of the following minor symptoms for at least 2 consecutive days - sore throat, colds, fever without other cause, increased cough or increased wheeze, requiring treatment with systemic glucocorticosteroids or antibiotics or both. Severe COPD exacerbations were defined as: conditions for Moderate COPD exacerbation and hospitalization was required. Participants who withdraw from the study and do not experience a moderate or severe exacerbation are censored at the date of withdrawal. Participants who complete the study and do not experience a moderate or severe exacerbation are censored at the completion visit date.

SGRQ is a health related quality of life questionnaire consisting of 51 items in three components: symptoms, activity, and impacts. The lowest possible value is zero and the highest 100. Higher values correspond to greater impairment in quality of life.
