Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Trough Forced Expiratory Volume In One Second (FEV1) After 26 Weeks of Treatment

    Spirometry was performed according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FEV1 was defined as the mean of the 23 hour 15 minute and 23 hour 45 minute post-dose values. A mixed model was used with treatment as a fixed effect with baseline FEV1 and FEV1 prior to inhalation and FEV1 60 minutes post inhalation of two short acting bronchodilators (components of reversibility at Day -14) as covariates. The model also included baseline smoking status (current/ex-smoker), baseline ICS use (Yes/No) and region as fixed effects with center nested within region as a random effect.

    23 hours 15 minutes and 23 hour 45 minute post-dose Week 26

Secondary Outcomes (22)

  • Transitional Dyspnea Index (TDI) Focal Score at Week 26

    Week 26

  • St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score at Week 26

    26 weeks

  • Change From Baseline in the Mean Daily Number of Puffs of Rescue Medication Over 26 Weeks

    Baseline, Week 26

  • Trough Forced Expiratory Volume In One Second (FEV1) After 26 Weeks of Treatment With QVA149, QAB149 and NVA237 Compared to Placebo

    23 hours 15 minutes and 23 hour 45 minute post-dose Week 26

  • Trough Forced Expiratory Volume In One Second (FEV1) After 26 Weeks of Treatment With QVA149 Compared to Tiotropium

    23 hours 15 minutes and 23 hour 45 minute post-dose Week 26

  • +17 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (5)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

NVA237 50 μg capsules for inhalation delivered once daily via single-dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI) for 26 weeks. Participants remained on a stable dose of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and salbutamol/albuterol was available for use as rescue medication throughout the study.

Drug: glycopyrronium (NVA237)

indacaterol (QAB149)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

QAB149 150 μg capsules for inhalation delivered once daily via single-dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI) for 26 weeks. Participants remained on a stable dose of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and salbutamol/albuterol was available for use as rescue medication throughout the study.

Drug: indacaterol (QAB149)

tiotropium

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Tiotropium 18 μg capsules for inhalation delivered once daily via HandiHaler® device for 26 weeks. Participants remained on a stable dose of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and salbutamol/albuterol was available for use as rescue medication throughout the study.

Drug: tiotropium

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Matching placebo capsules for inhalation delivered once daily via single-dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI) for 26 weeks. Participants remained on a stable dose of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and salbutamol/albuterol was available for use as rescue medication throughout the study.

Drug: placebo
