Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  4. Patients with concomitant pulmonary disease, pulmonary tuberculosis (unless confirmed by chest x-ray to be no longer active) or clinically significant bronchiectasis.
  5. Patients with any history of asthma indicated by (but not limited to) a blood eosinophil count > 400/mm3.
  6. Patients who, in the judgment of the investigator or the responsible Novartis personnel, have a clinically relevant laboratory abnormality or a clinically significant condition.
  7. Patients with uncontrolled Type I and Type II diabetes.
  8. History of malignancy of any organ system (including lung cancer), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years.

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
Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Day 7
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 7
Spirometry testing was performed in accordance with American Thoracic Society standards. Trough FEV1 was defined as the average of the 23 hour 15 minute and 23 hour 45 minute measurements post dosing. Baseline FEV1 is the mean of the 45 minute and 15 minute pre-dose FEV1 values at day 1 of each period. Least square means are based on the Analysis of Covariance Trough FEV1 at day 7 = sequence effect + patient(sequence) + period effect + treatment effect + (period) baseline FEV1 + error.
Baseline, Day 7

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Standardized Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Area Under Curve (AUC) 5 Minutes-12 Hours at Day 7
Time Frame: Day 7
Spirometry testing was performed in accordance with American Thoracic Society standards. FEV1 was assessed at 5, 15, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post dose on Day 7. Standardized (with respect to time) AUC (5 minutes-12 hours) for FEV1 on day 7 was calculated using the trapezoidal rule. Least square means are based on the Analysis of Covariance: FEV1 AUC = sequence effect + patient (sequence) + period + treatment + baseline FEV1 (period) + error.
Day 7
Number of Participants With Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Discontinuations Due to Adverse Events
Time Frame: 47 days
Additional information about adverse events can be found in the Adverse Event Section.

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.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
