Study Description

Brief Summary

The objective of the trial is to compare the lung function profile of once daily treatment with tiotropium+olodaterol FDC [2.5/ 5µg and 5/ 5µg] delivered by the RESPIMAT with the lung function profile of twice daily treatment with fluticasone propionate+salmeterol FDC [250/50µg and 500/50µg] delivered by the Accuhaler® after 6 weeks of treatment.

    Change from patient baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) Area Under the FEV1-time Curve from 0 to 12hours post-dose (AUC 0-12h) [L] after 6 weeks of treatment. Measured values presented are actually adjusted means. The period baseline is defined as the pre-dose measurement taken at on the day 1 of each period. The patient baseline is defined as the mean of non-missing period baselines for each patient.

Secondary Outcome Measures

    Change from patient baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) Area Under the FEV1-time Curve from 0 to 24 hours post-dose (AUC 0-24h) [L] after 6 weeks of treatment. Measured values presented are actually adjusted means. The period baseline is defined as the pre-dose measurement taken at on the day 1 of each period. The patient baseline is defined as the mean of non-missing period baselines for each patient.

  2. Trough FEV1 Change From Patient Baseline After 6 Weeks of Treatment [Baseline and 6 weeks.]

    Change from patient baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) after 6 weeks of treatment. Trough FEV1 was defined as the mean of the 23h and 23h 50min (minutes) post-dose FEV1 measurements. Measured values presented are actually adjusted means. The period baseline is defined as the pre-dose measurement taken at on the day 1 of each period. The patient baseline is defined as the mean of non-missing period baselines for each patient.

    Change from patient baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) Area Under the FEV1-time Curve from 12 to 24 hours post-dose (AUC 12-24h) [L] after 6 weeks of treatment. Measured values presented are actually adjusted means. The period baseline is defined as the pre-dose measurement taken at on the day 1 of each period. The patient baseline is defined as the mean of non-missing period baselines for each patient.

  4. FEV1 Peak (0-3h) Change From Patient Baseline After 6 Weeks of Treatment [Baseline and 6 weeks.]

    Change from patient baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) peak (0-3 hours) after 6 weeks of treatment. FEV1 peak (0-3 hours) was defined as the maximum FEV1 value measured within the first three hours post dosing. Measured values presented are actually adjusted means.

Title Trough FEV1 Change From Patient Baseline After 6 Weeks of Treatment
Description Change from patient baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) after 6 weeks of treatment. Trough FEV1 was defined as the mean of the 23h and 23h 50min (minutes) post-dose FEV1 measurements. Measured values presented are actually adjusted means. The period baseline is defined as the pre-dose measurement taken at on the day 1 of each period. The patient baseline is defined as the mean of non-missing period baselines for each patient.
