Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the bronchodilator effects of NVA237 (25 ug and 50 ug) compared to placebo in terms of trough FEV1 (mean of 23h 15 min and 23 h 45 min post -dose) following 1 week of treatment in the respective treatment period ;Primary end point(s): Trough FEV1 (mL) after 1 week of treatment defined as the mean of the two FEV1 values measured at 23 h 15 min and 23 h 45 min post-dose. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 7;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the bronchodilator effects of NVA237 (25 ug and 50 ug) compared with placebo: ? In terms of Standardized FEV1 AUC following 1 week of treatment in the respective treatment period ? In terms of Peak FEV1 following 1 week of treatment in the respective treatment period ? In terms of FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC ratio following 1 week of treatment in the respective treatment period ? In terms of Safety and tolerability in the respective treatment period (laboratory tests, vital signs, ECG and adverse events) ? As determined by patient diary data and electronic PEF meter in the respective treatment period. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Standardized AUC in FEV1 across different time intervals (5 min – 1 h, 5 min – 4 h, 5 min – 23 h 45 min) • Peak FEV1 during 5 min – 4 h. • FVC and FEV1/FVC at day 7 • PEF pre-dose morning and evening • Number of rescue puffs during the previous night and during the day;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 7 | — |
