What is being measured

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

  1. Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Area Under Curve (AUC) 0-24 Hours on Day 14

    Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) was calculated as the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second as measured by a spirometer. This outcome measures the change is FEV1 from predose (day 1) to the readings taken 0-24 hours post dose on day 14. The variable was analyzed with an analysis-of-covariance model which included baseline FEV1 value as a covariate.

    Measured: From Day 1 to 0-24 hours after drug administration on Day 14

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) AUC 0-12 Hours on Day 14

    Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) was calculated as the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second as measured by a spirometer. This outcome measures the change is FEV1 from pre-dose (day 1) to the readings taken 0-12 hours post dose on day 14. The variable was analyzed with an analysis-of-covariance model which included baseline FEV1 value as a covariate.

    Measured: From day 1 to 0 -12 hours after drug administration on Day 14

  2. Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) AUC 12-24 Hours on Day 14

    Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) was calculated as the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second as measured by a spirometer. This outcome measures the change is FEV1 from pre-dose (day 1) to the readings taken 12-24 hours post dose on day 14. The variable was analyzed with an analysis-of-covariance model which included baseline FEV1 value as a covariate.

    Measured: From Day 1 to 12 hours-24 hours after drug administration on Day 14

  3. Number of Participants Who Experienced Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    According to FDA 21CFR 314.80, a serious adverse event (SAE) is described as any adverse event that leads to death, is life threatening , causes or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, or any other important medical event not described above. See Adverse Events module for details.

    Measured: Day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NVA237 in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Novartis at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 14 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States, Germany. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 6 May 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 One Second (FEV1) Area Under Curve (AUC) 0-24 Hours on Day 14 (time frame: From Day 1 to 0-24 hours after drug administration on Day 14). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Sep 2016.
