Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy of NVA237 Compared to Tiotropium in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (NCT NCT01922271)

NCT ID: NCT01922271

Last Updated: 2015-01-01

Results Overview

Standardized Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) AUC0-2h will be measured via spirometry. The AUC will be calculated from the FEV1 measurements obtained at timepoints between 0 min and 2h using the trapezoidal rule and will be standardized (=divided) by the measurement time (i.e. 2h).

Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) is the amount of air that can be exhaled in one second. FEV1 will be measured by spirometry. All spirometry calibrations and evaluations will follow the recommendations of the American Thoracic Society / European Respiratory Society guidelines for acceptability.
