Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess global ventilated lung volume after treatment with QVA149 compared to placebo; Secondary Objective: - To assess regional lung ventilated volume after treatment with QVA149 compared to placebo - To assess gas trapping and collateral ventilation with regional mapping of delayed ventilation during breath hold after treatment with QVA149 compared to placebo - To evaluate physiologic measures of lung function after treatment with QVA149 compared to placebo to provide a measure of assay sensitivity for this study - To assess small airway function after treatment with QVA149 compared to placebo ;Primary end point(s): Global lung ventilation volume;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 8 days of treatment with QVA149 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
