What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Participants With a Clinically Notable Pulse Rate During 52 Weeks of Treatment

    The number of participants with newly occurring or worsening clinically notable vital sign: Pulse Rate in beats per minute (bpm) at anytime post baseline (BL) by treatment. Low Pulse Rate was defined as a pulse rate <40 bpm or <= to 50 bpm and a decrease from baseline >= to 15 bpm. High Pulse Rate was defined as a pulse rate >130 bpm or >= to 120 bpm and an increase from baseline >= to 15 bpm.

    Measured: 52 weeks

  2. The Number of Participants With a Clinically Notable Systolic Blood Pressure During 52 Weeks of Treatment

    The number of participants with newly occurring or worsening clinically notable vital sign: Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHg) at anytime post baseline (BL) by treatment.

    A Low Systolic Blood Pressure was defined as a systolic blood pressure measurement: <75 mmHg or <= to 90 mmHg and a decrease from baseline >= to 20 mmHg.

    A High Systolic Blood Pressure was defined as a systolic blood pressure measurement: >200 mmHg or >= to 180 mmHg and an increase from baseline >= to 20 mmHg.

    Measured: 52 weeks

  3. The Number of Participants With a Clinically Notable Diastolic Blood Pressure During 52 Weeks of Treatment

    The number of participants with newly occurring or worsening clinically notable vital sign: Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) at anytime post baseline (BL) by treatment.

    A Low Diastolic Blood Pressure was defined as a diastolic blood pressure measurement: <40 mmHg or <= to 50 mmHg and a decrease from baseline >= to 15 mmHg.

    A High Diastolic Blood Pressure was defined as a diastolic blood pressure measurement: >115 mmHg or >= to 105 mmHg and an increase from baseline >= to 15 mmHg.

    Measured: 52 weeks

  4. The Number of Participants With a Clinically Notable QTc Interval Value During 52 Weeks of Treatment

    The number of participants with newly occurring or worsening clinically notable QTc Interval value at anytime post baseline.

    The QTc interval is calculated using Fridericia's formula: QTc= QT/cube root RR. QTc is the interval between the Q and T waves corrected for heart rate and RR is the interval between two R waves in milliseconds (ms).

    Notable QTc interval >450 ms for males and >470 ms for females. The maximum QTc increase from baseline at any time during the study was also tabulated with absolute and relative frequencies for categories 30- 60 ms and >60 ms.

    Measured: 52 weeks

  5. Serum Potassium (mmol/L) at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 44, and 52

    The least squares mean of the serum potassium in mmol/L at weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 44 and 52. Mixed model used baseline serum potassium as a covariate.

    Measured: 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 44, and 52 weeks

  6. Blood Glucose (mmol/L) 1 Hour Post Dose at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 44, and 52

    The least squares mean of the blood glucose in mmol/L at weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 44 and 52. Mixed model used baseline blood glucose as a covariate.

    Measured: 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 44, and 52 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) After 12, 24 and 52 Weeks

    Trough FEV1 was defined as the mean of the values at 23 h 10 min and 23 h 45 min after dosing at clinic on the previous day. Trough FEV1 was analyzed after 12, 24 and 52 weeks using a mixed model which contained the baseline FEV1 measurement, FEV1 prior to inhalation and FEV1 30 minutes post inhalation of salbutamol as covariates.

    Measured: After 12, 24 and 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Indacaterol 300 µg and Salmeterol 50 µg in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 37 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 4 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 8 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 37 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 8 Nov 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?

The Number of Participants With a Clinically Notable Pulse Rate During 52 Weeks of Treatment (time frame: 52 weeks). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Nov 2011.
