E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate the superiority of NVA237 50 µg + indacaterol 150 µg administered once daily as compared with indacaterol 150 µg administered once daily in terms of trough FEV1 at Week 12. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the effect of NVA237 50 µg o.d. + indacaterol 150 µg o.d. as compared to indacaterol 150 µg o.d. in terms of:
•FEV1 AUC5 min – 4 h post dosing at Week 12
•Peak FEV1 at Week 12 (where peak FEV1 is defined as the maximum FEV1 during the first 4 h post morning dosing)
•FEV1, FVC and IC at individual time-points on Day 1, Day 29, Day 57 and Days 84/85
•The mean change from baseline in daily number of puffs of rescue medication following 12 weeks of treatment
•The focal score of the Transitional Dyspnea Index (TDI) after 12 weeks of treatment
•Symptoms reported over 12 weeks of treatment using e-diary
•Safety and tolerability
