Dose Ranging Study of Indacaterol in Japanese Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

July 22, 2011 updated by: Novartis

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, 4-period 4-treatment Crossover, Multicenter, Dose-ranging Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of 3 Doses of Indacaterol (150, 300, and 600 µg) Delivered Via a Single Dose Dry Powder Inhaler in Japanese Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The study was designed to obtain data about the efficacy and safety of 3 doses of indacaterol (150, 300, and 600 µg) in Japanese patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) so that optimal dose(s) could be chosen for testing in later studies.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Standardized (With Respect to Time) Area Under the Curve (AUC) From 22 to 24 Hours Post-dose on Day 2
Time Frame: From 22 to 24 hours post-dose on Day 2
FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Measurements were made in each treatment period at 22, 23, and 24 hours post-dose on Day 2. Standardized FEV1 AUC was calculated by the trapezoidal rule. The analysis included patient, period, and treatment group as fixed effects and baseline FEV1 prior to drug administration in the treatment period as a covariate.
From 22 to 24 hours post-dose on Day 2

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
