What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Standardized (With Respect to Time) Area Under the Curve (AUC) From 22 to 24 Hours Post-dose on Day 2

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Measurements were made in each treatment period at 22, 23, and 24 hours post-dose on Day 2. Standardized FEV1 AUC was calculated by the trapezoidal rule. The analysis included patient, period, and treatment group as fixed effects and baseline FEV1 prior to drug administration in the treatment period as a covariate.

    Measured: From 22 to 24 hours post-dose on Day 2

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Peak Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) From 5 Minutes to 4 Hours Post-dose on Day 1

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Measurements were made in each treatment period at 5, 15, and 30 minutes and 1, 2, and 4 hours post-dose on Day 1. The analysis included baseline FEV1 prior to drug administration in the treatment period as a covariate.

    Measured: From 5 minutes to 4 hours post-dose on Day 1

  2. Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) by Time Point From 5 Minutes to 12 Hours Post-dose on Day 1 and From 22 to 24 Hours Post-dose on Day 2

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Measurements were made in each treatment period at 5, 15, and 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 hours on Day 1 and 22, 23, and 24 hours on Day 2. The analysis included baseline FEV1 prior to drug administration in the treatment period as a covariate.

    Measured: From 5 minutes to 12 hours post-dose on Day 1 and from 22 to 24 hours post-dose on Day 2

  3. Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Standardized (With Respect to Time) Area Under the Curve (AUC) From 5 Minutes to 12 Hours Post-dose on Day 1 and From 22 to 24 Hours Post-dose on Day 2

    FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Measurements were made in each treatment period at 5, 15, and 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 hours on Day 1 and 22, 23, and 24 hours on Day 2. Standardized FEV1 AUC was calculated by the trapezoidal rule. The analysis included baseline FEV1 prior to drug administration in the treatment period as a covariate.

    Measured: From 5 minutes to 12 hours post-dose on Day 1 and from 22 to 24 hours post-dose on Day 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Indacaterol 150 μg and Indacaterol 300 μg in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Novartis at 8 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Aug 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Standardized (With Respect to Time) Area Under the Curve (AUC) From 22 to 24 Hours Post-dose on Day 2 (time frame: From 22 to 24 hours post-dose on Day 2). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00403845, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Aug 2011.
