Trial Outcomes & Findings for 12-week Open-label Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Indacaterol (NCT NCT01232894)

NCT ID: NCT01232894

Last Updated: 2013-11-19

Results Overview

The Clinical Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) Questionnaire (CCQ) is a self-administered questionnaire containing ten questions, divided into three domains: symptoms, mental and functional state. The questions are based on a 7-point scale where a '0' means having no limitations and a '6' means extreme or complete limitations. The final score is the mean of all ten questions. The CCQ score was recalculated according to the paper by Van der Molen et al., 2003. The statistical significance remained the same.
