Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the efficacy of the combination product QVA149 is similar to the efficacy of the combination product umeclidinium/vilanterol on a pre-specified endpoint of FEV1 AUC0-24h while maintaining an acceptable safety profile.

Primary Outcome

FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. The standardized AUC FEV1 was calculated as the sum of trapezoids divided by the length of time over an entire day (AUC 0-24h). A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

Interventions

  • DRUG QVA149
  • DRUG Umeclidinium/vilanterol
  • DRUG Placebo (QVA149)
