| Blood Glucose (mmol/L) 1 Hour Post Dose at Weeks 12, 26, 36, 44 and 52 | Weeks 12, 26, 36, 44 and 52 | The least squares mean of the blood glucose in mmol/L at weeks 12, 26, 36, 44 and 52. Mixed model used baseline blood glucose as a covariate. |
| The Number of Participants With a Clinically Notable QTc Interval Value During 52 Weeks of Treatment With Indacaterol 150 µg or 300 µg Compared to Placebo | Up to 52 weeks | The number of participants with newly occurring or worsening clinically notable QTc Interval value at anytime post baseline. The QTc interval is calculated using Fridericia's formula: QTc= QT/cube root RR. QTc is the interval between the Q and T waves corrected for heart rate and RR is the interval between two R waves in milliseconds (ms). Notable QTC interval= \>450 ms for males and \>470 ms for females. The maximum QTC increase from pre to post dose at any time during the study was also tabulated with absolute and relative frequencies for categories 30- 60 ms and \>60 ms. |

Low Pulse Rate was defined as a pulse rate: \<40 bpm or \<= to 50 bpm and a decrease from baseline \>= to 15 bpm. High Pulse Rate was defined as a pulse rate: \>130 bpm or \>= to 120 bpm and an increase from baseline \>= to 15 bpm. |

A Low Systolic Blood Pressure was defined as a systolic blood pressure measurement: \<75 mmHg or \<= to 90 mmHg and a decrease from baseline \>= to 20 mmHg. A High Systolic Blood Pressure was defined as a systolic blood pressure measurement: \>200 mmHg or \>= to 180 mmHg and an increase from baseline \>= to 20 mmHg. |
| The Number of Participants With a Clinically Notable Diastolic Blood Pressure During 52 Weeks of Treatment With Indacaterol 150 µg or 300 µg Compared to Placebo | Up to 52 weeks | The number of participants with newly occurring or worsening clinically notable vital sign: Diastolic Blood Pressure (mmHg) at anytime post baseline (BL) by treatment. A Low Diastolic Blood Pressure was defined as a diastolic blood pressure measurement: \<40 mmHg or \<= to 50 mmHg and a decrease from baseline \>= to 15 mmHg. A High Diastolic Blood Pressure was defined as a diastolic blood pressure measurement: \>115 mmHg or \>= to 105 mmHg and an increase from baseline \>= to 15 mmHg. |

| Quality of Life Assessment With St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score at Weeks 36, 44 and 52 | Weeks 36, 44 and 52 | The least squares mean of the SGRQ total score at weeks 36, 44 and 52. Mixed model used for analysis used baseline SGRQ total score as well as FEV1 reversibility components as covariates. SGRQ is a health related quality of life questionnaire consisting of 50 items in three domains: symptoms, activity and impacts. The total score is 0 to 100 with a higher score indicating poorer health. A difference from placebo of -4 in the least squares mean SGRQ total score is considered clinically relevant. |
| Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Week 52 of Treatment | Week 52 | Spirometry was conducted according to internationally accepted standards. The trough FEV1 was defined as the average of the FEV1 measurements taken at 23 hours 10 minutes and 23 hours 45 minutes post dose at week 52.

Quality of Life Assessment With St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score at Weeks 36, 44 and 52
The least squares mean of the SGRQ total score at weeks 36, 44 and 52. Mixed model used for analysis used baseline SGRQ total score as well as FEV1 reversibility components as covariates. SGRQ is a health related quality of life questionnaire consisting of 50 items in three domains: symptoms, activity and impacts. The total score is 0 to 100 with a higher score indicating poorer health. A difference from placebo of -4 in the least squares mean SGRQ total score is considered clinically relevant.
Time frame: Weeks 36, 44 and 52
Population: Extension Intent-to-treat population consisting of all participants who received at least one dose of study drug. n in each of the categories is the number of participants with data at the given time point. Missing data were imputed using LOCF but not by more than 14 weeks and not by carrying forward scores within 4 weeks of treatment start.

Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Week 52 of Treatment
Spirometry was conducted according to internationally accepted standards. The trough FEV1 was defined as the average of the FEV1 measurements taken at 23 hours 10 minutes and 23 hours 45 minutes post dose at week 52. The mixed model used baseline FEV1 as well as FEV1 reversibility components as covariates.
Time frame: Week 52
Population: Participants from the Extension Intent-to-treat population (consisting of all participants who received at least one dose of study drug) for whom data was available for this Outcome Measure. Missing data was imputed Last Observation Carried Forward.
