Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Following 14 Days of Evening Dosing of Indacaterol Versus Placebo
Trough FEV1 was assessed by performing spirometry measurements in the clinic for each treatment period. For the primary efficacy variable, trough FEV1 is the mean of two measurements taken at 23h 10 min and 23h 45 min post dose. The primary variable was analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with the (period) baseline FEV1 as covariate. The (period) baseline FEV1 was defined as the value measured before the study drug administration in that treatment period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Trough FEV1 Assessed After 14 Days of Dosing for All Other Treatment Comparisons
Trough FEV1 was assessed by performing spirometry measurements in the clinic for each treatment period. On the morning and evening of Day 15 trough FEV1 (i.e. mean of measurements performed 23 h 10 min and 23 h 45 min post-dose) were assessed. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model was used with the (period) baseline FEV1 as covariate. The (period) baseline FEV1 was defined as the value measured before the study drug administration in that treatment period.

Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Following 14 Days of Evening Dosing of Indacaterol Versus Placebo
Description
Trough FEV1 was assessed by performing spirometry measurements in the clinic for each treatment period. For the primary efficacy variable, trough FEV1 is the mean of two measurements taken at 23h 10 min and 23h 45 min post dose. The primary variable was analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with the (period) baseline FEV1 as covariate. The (period) baseline FEV1 was defined as the value measured before the study drug administration in that treatment period.
