Measure
First QVA149 (Indacaterol/Glycopyrronium), Then Placebo
Participants received 4 weeks of QVA149 85/43 μg delivered dose once daily in the morning between 08:00 and 11:00 AM at approximately the same time every day followed by 2 weeks washout. Then participants received 4 weeks of placebo once daily in the morning between 08:00 and 11:00 AM at approximately the same time every day.
First Placebo, Then QVA149 (Indacaterol/Glycopyrronium)
Participants received 4 weeks of placebo once daily in the morning between 08:00 and 11:00 AM at approximately the same time every day followed by 2 weeks washout. Then participants received 4 weeks of QVA149 85/43 μg delivered dose once daily in the morning between 08:00 and 11:00 AM at approximately the same time every day.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Post 4 weeks administration of QVA149, post 4 weeks administration of placebo

Population: Only randomized participants with data from both treatments were analyzed.

The mean night-time blood oxygenation following 4 weeks administration of QVA149 compared to placebo was assessed. Night time oxygenation (SpO2) was measured using polygraphy.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Post 4 weeks administration of QVA149, post 4 weeks administration of placebo

Population: Only randomized participants with data from both treatments were analyzed.

The time during the night spent below 90 % in blood oxygen saturation following 4 weeks administration of QVA149 compared to placebo was assessed. Night time oxygenation (SpO2) was measured using polygraphy.
