Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: To evaluate the dose response relationship among four doses of indacaterol Twisthaler(62.5, 125, 250, and 500 µg o.d.) and placebo as measured by the mean change from baseline to 24 hr post dose (trough) FEV1 after 14 days of treatment.
Secondary Objective: To assess the bronchodilator effect of indacaterol Twisthaler at 62.5, 125, 250, and 500 µg o.d. in patients with COPD compared to placebo as measured by: Mean change from baseline to 24 hr (trough) FEV1 after 1 day of treatment Time to peak FEV1 on Day 1 and Day 14 FEV1 and FVC at each time point post-dose after 1 day and 14 days of treatment Standardized FEV1 AUC between baseline (pre-dose) and 4 hr post-dose on Day 1 and Day 14 To assess Inspiratory Capacity (IC), day and night time rescue medication usage, and morning and evening PEF measurements for indacaterol Twisthaler(62.5, 125, 250, and 500 µg o.d.) in comparison to placebo. To estimate the effects of treatment between formoterol (12 µg b.i.d.) and placebo for all of the efficacy variables above.
Primary end point(s): The goals of the study are to confirm an overall dose-response signal in terms of the mean change from baseline FEV1 to 24 hr post-dose trough FEV1 and, if so, (ii) to estimate the dose that corresponds to the clinically relevant effect. Here, the clinically relevant effect is at least equal to the difference in the mean of primary efficacy variable of formoterol over placebo. The MCP-Mod methodology (Bretz, Pinheiro, and Branson, 2005) will be used to address both of these goals.
