Patient Reported Outcome Measures: SGRQ (St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire)
A Total and three component scores are calculated: Symptoms; Activity; Impacts. Each component of the questionnaire is scored separately:The score for each component is calculated separately by dividing the summed weights by the maximum possible weight for that component and expressing the result as a percentage: Score = 100 x Summed weights from all positive items in that component divided by Sum of weights for all items in that component The Total score is calculated in similar way: Score = 100 x Summed weights from all positive items in the questionnaire divided by Sum of weights for all items in the questionnaire Sum of maximum possible weights for each component and Total: Symptoms 566.2 Activity 982.9 Impacts 1652.8 Total (sum of maximum for all three components) 3201.9 The proportion of patients who achieve a clinically important improvement of at least 4 units in the total SGRQ will be analyzed. The higher the score the more symptoms of disease are present.
Analysis of the Proportion of Subjects With a Clinically Important Improvement of >=1 Point in the TDI (Transitional Dyspnoea Index)Focal Score by Visit
A TDI focal score of ≥1 is considered to be a clinically important improvement from baseline. Analysis of the proportion of subjects with a clinically important improvement of >=1 point in the TDI focal score, by visit
Patient Reported Outcome Measures: COPD Assessment Test
It consists of eight items, each presented as a semantic 6-point differential scale, providing a total score out of 40. A higher score indicates a worse health status. Scores of 0 - 10, 11 - 20, 21 - 30 and 31 - 40 represent a mild, moderate, severe or very severe clinical impact of COPD upon the patient.
Patient Reported Outcome Measures: Medical Outcome Study (MOS) Sleep Scale: Without Quantity Subscale
Scoring the MOS Sleep Survey is a two-step process:• All items are scored so that a high score reflects more of the attribute implied by the scale name. Each item is converted to a 0 to 100 possible range so that the lowest and highest possible scores are set at 0 and 100, respectively. In this format, scores represent the achieved percentage of the total possible score. For example, a score of 50 represents 50% of the highest possible score.
• Second, items within each scale are averaged together to create the 7 scale scores. Scales with at least one item answered can be used to generate a scale score. Items that are left blank (missing data) are not taken into account when calculating the scale scores. Scores represent the average for all items in the scale that the respondent answered. An additional measure is based on the average number of hours sleep each night during the past 4 weeks and are described in outcome measure 15.
Patient Reported Outcome Measures: Medical Outcome Study (MOS) Sleep Scale: Sleep Quantity Subscale
The sleep quantity subscale,which refers to question 2 of the PRO: On average, how many hours did you sleep each night during the past 4 weeks. More hours of sleep indicate better outcome.
Summary Statistics of COPD Exacerbations over12 Weeks as Defined by Chronic Pulmonary Disease Tool (EXACT)
The EXACT is a 14-item electronic questionnaire designed to detect the frequency, severity, and duration of exacerbations in patients with COPD.
Time to First COPD Exacerbation
Time-to-event variables will be analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier estimates and the stratified Cox proportional hazard model by smoking status and COPD severity. The model will include treatment and country as factors, and FEV1 prior to inhalation and FEV1 15 min post inhalation of salbutamol/albuterol as covariates. The reported measure will detail the percentage of participants that were event free of a specified event.
Annual Rate of COPD Exacerbations
Time-to-event variables will be analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier estimates and the stratified Cox proportional hazard model by smoking status and COPD severity. The model will include treatment and country as factors, and FEV1 prior to inhalation and FEV1 15 min post inhalation of salbutamol/albuterol as covariates.
Duration (in Days) of COPD Exacerbations
Duration and number of the COPD exacerbation will be analyzed by the negative binomial regression model including treatment, country, smoking status, and COPD severity as factors and FEV1 prior to inhalation and FEV1 15 min post inhalation of salbutamol/albuterol as covariates.
Percentage of Patients With at Least One Exacerbation up to Week 12
Time-to-event variables will be analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier estimates and the stratified Cox proportional hazard model by smoking status and COPD severity. The model will include treatment and country as factors, and FEV1 prior to inhalation and FEV1 15 min post inhalation of salbutamol/albuterol as covariates. The reported measure will detail the percentage of participants that had an exacerbation up to week 12. Less exacerbations reflect a better outcome.

The model will include treatment and country as factors, and FEV1 prior to inhalation and FEV1 15 min post inhalation of salbutamol/albuterol as covariates.
The Percentage of Patients Who Permanently Discontinued Due to COPD Exacerbation
Time-to-event variables will be analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier estimates and the stratified Cox proportional hazard model by smoking status and COPD severity.

Blood samples are collected at pre-dose on Day 1, 29, and 84; and post dose up to 4 hour on Day 1, up to 12 hours on Day 28 and 84. For sparse pharmacokinetic testing, blood samples will be collected at 23h 35 min post-dose following morning dose administration on Day 28 and 84, in all patients participating in this study.
Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Cmax
Maximum observed plasma concentration after drug administration is to be measured in a subset of approximately 60 patients via central laboratory, and will be determined for indacaterol and MF following morning dosing on Days 28 and 84.
Pharmacokinetic Parameter--Tmax
Time to reach the maximum plasma concentration after drug administration is to be measured in a subset of approximately 60 patients via central laboratory, and will be determined for indacaterol and MF following morning dosing on Days 28 and 84.
