E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the bronchodilator effect of once-daily lactose-blended (LB) indacaterol administered via the EPIC test fixture and Concept1 in adult patients with persistent asthma compared with placebo as measured by trough FEV1 after 3 days of treatment. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Assess the bronchodilator effect of once-daily indacaterol via EPIC test fixture and Concept1 in patients with asthma compared with placebo as measured by:
- trough FEV1 after 1 day of treatment.
- Peak and time to peak FEV1 on Days 1 and 3.
- FEV1, Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC and forced expiratory flow 25–75% (FEF25-75%) at each post-dose time point.
- Standardized FEV1 AUC between baseline (pre-dose) and 4 h postdose (AUC0-4h) on Days 1 and 3 of treatment.
- Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)
- Rescue medication use over the course of the treatment.
- Assessment of safety and tolerability
- Assessment of pharmacokinetics

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Following 3 Days of Treatment
Outcome Measure Description: FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation, measured through spirometry testing. The trough in FEV1 was defined as the mean of two measurements at 23h 10min and 23h 45min post the Day 3 dose. |
