Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Randomised, Double- Blind, Placebo Controlled, Cross-over Efficacy and Safety Comparison of Tiotropium 5 µg Once Daily and Tiotropium 2.5 µg Twice Daily for Four Weeks in Patients With Moderate Persistent Asthma (NCT NCT01152450)

NCT ID: NCT01152450

Last Updated: 2024-12-19

Results Overview

Mixed Model Repeated Measure (MMRM) results. Response was defined as change from baseline. Means are adjusted for treatment, period, patient and study baseline. Measurements performed in relation to evening dosing. AUC0-24h calculated using the trapezoidal rule divided by the observation time (24 hours) to report in litres.
