Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Week 12 + 1 Day, Day 85
FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FEV1 was defined as the average of measurements made 23 hours 10 minutes and 23 hours 45 minutes post-dose at the end of treatment. The analysis included baseline FEV1 and FEV1 pre-dose and 10-15 minutes post-dose of salbutamol/albuterol during screening as covariates.
Week 12 + 1 day, Day 85
Study Arms (3)
Indacaterol 150 μg
EXPERIMENTALPatients inhaled indacaterol 150 μg via a single-dose dry-powder inhaler (SDDPI) once daily (od) in the morning (between 8:00 and 11:00 AM) for 26 weeks. Daily inhaled corticosteroid treatment (if applicable) was to remain stable throughout the study. The short-acting β2-agonist salbutamol/albuterol was available for rescue use throughout the study.
Indacaterol 300 μg
EXPERIMENTALPatients inhaled indacaterol 300 μg via a single-dose dry-powder inhaler (SDDPI) once daily (od) in the morning (between 8:00 and 11:00 AM) for 26 weeks. Daily inhaled corticosteroid treatment (if applicable) was to remain stable throughout the study. The short-acting β2-agonist salbutamol/albuterol was available for rescue use throughout the study.
Placebo to indacaterol
PLACEBO COMPARATORPatients inhaled placebo to indacaterol via a single-dose dry-powder inhaler (SDDPI) once daily (od) in the morning (between 8:00 and 11:00 AM) for 26 weeks. Daily inhaled corticosteroid treatment (if applicable) was to remain stable throughout the study. The short-acting β2-agonist salbutamol/albuterol was available for rescue use throughout the study.

- Smoking history of at least 10 pack years
- Post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) \< 80% and ≥ 30% of the predicted normal value

- Patients requiring long-term oxygen therapy (\> 15 hours a day) for chronic hypoxemia
- Patients who have had a respiratory tract infection within 6 weeks prior to screening
- Patients with concomitant pulmonary disease
- Patients with a history of asthma
- Patients with diabetes Type I or uncontrolled diabetes Type II
- Any patient with lung cancer or a history of lung cancer
- Any patient with active cancer or a history of cancer with less than 5 years disease-free survival time
- Patients with a history of long QT syndrome or whose QTc interval (Bazett's) measured at screening is prolonged
- Patients who have been vaccinated with live attenuated vaccines within 30 days prior to screening or during the run-in period
- Patients unable to successfully use a dry powder inhaler device or perform spirometry measurements
