Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Conditions
Keywords
Indacaterol, COPD, LABA, Reversibility
Brief summary
In this 5-months study, the response of patients to salbutamol at baseline will be compared with their response to treatment with indacaterol.
Interventions
Indacaterol 150 µg once-daily via single-dose dry powder inhaler

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Coefficient of correlation between VQ11 (an assessment of quality of life) and reversibility | 5 months | Coefficient of correlation between the change from baseline in VQ11 with indacaterol after 5 months and the reversibility to salbutamol at screening |
