5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study compared the efficacy of indacaterol versus placebo in COPD patients classified as GOLD 2014 Patient Group B. This was a 2-arm parallel group study that recruited COPD patients classified by GOLD Patient Gorup B. On successful completion of run-in period, patients were randomized in the ratio 1:1 to receive prn salbutamol plus: Indacaterol 150ug or Placebo for indacaterol all once daily (od) for 26 weeks. The primary objective (trough FEV1) was assessed after 12 weeks.
