Participant Flow

This study was conducted at 16 enrolling sites. A total of 14 sites randomised patients: 10 sites in Germany, 3 sites in Spain and one site in the United Kingdom. The first patient was screened in November 2011 and the last patient visit was in June 2012.

Eligible patients entered a 14-21 day run-in period to assess disease stability. During this period, one site visit was performed to familiarise patients with study testing procedures (body plethysmography, spirometry and a constant work rate cycle exercise test).

Measure
Aclidinium Bromide 400 μg - Placebo
The study consisted of 2 treatment periods of 22 (±2) days separated by a washout period of 14 (-2/+7) days. In treatment period 1, patients received 1 puff of aclidinium bromide 400 μg via the Genuair® multidose dry powder inhaler in the morning (09:00 ± 1h) and in the evening (21:00 ± 1h) for 3 weeks. In treatment period 2, patients received 1 puff of placebo via the Genuair® multidose dry powder inhaler in the morning (09:00 ± 1h) and in the evening (21:00 ± 1h) for 3 weeks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 3

Population: Intention-to-Treat (ITT) population: all randomised patients who took at least one dose of investigational medicinal product, and had at least a baseline and one post-dose corresponding assessment value of the primary efficacy variable in one of the 2 treatment periods. 2 patients from the safety population were excluded from the ITT population.

Change from baseline in endurance time during constant work rate cycle ergometry to symptom limitation at 75% of Maximum Work load (Wmax) after 3 weeks of treatment.
