Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: ?Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Week 12;Secondary Objective: ?Standardized Area Under The Curve (AUC) for Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) for different time spans(0-24h, 0-12h, 12-24h) post dosing at Week 12 ?Health Status Assessment by St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) after 12-and 26-week treatment ?Breathlessness assessed by Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) after 12 and 26 weeks treatment ?Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) at Day 1 and Week 26 ?Standardized Area Under the Curve (AUC) for Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) post dosing at Week 26 ?Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at individual timepoints throughout treatment period ?Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) at all individual timepoints throughout treatment period ?Inspiratory Capacity (IC) at individual timepoints throughout treatment period ?Rescue medication use ?Daily Symptom Score ?Safety and Tolerability ?Standardized AUC for Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) post dosing on Day 1;Primary end point(s): Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) (defined as mean evaluation at 23 h 15 min and 23 h 45 min post dose);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 12

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): As secondary endpoints, the degree of bronchodilation produced by the once and twice daily therapies over 24 hours will be measured in terms of post dose FEV1 AUC0-24h at week 12 and week 26; differences between the therapies in the level of bronchodilation produced in the morning and evening/ overnight will be assessed in terms of FEV1 AUC0- 12h and FEV1 AUC12-24h. In addition, to determine the impact of dosing regimen on the degree of bronchodilation immediately prior to dosing in the morning, assessments of pre dose trough FEV1 will be performed at Day 1, Week 12 and Week 26.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: day 1, week 12 and week 26
