This study is designed to demonstrate non inferiority of 150 *g o.d. of indacaterol versus tiotropium 18 *g o.d. with respect to 24 hour post dose (trough) FEV1 after 12 weeks of treatment.
Primary objective: To demonstrate the superiority of QVA 110/50 µg compared to both QAB149 150 µg and NVA237 50 µg in terms of trough FEV1 (mean of 23 h 15 min and 23 h 45 min post-dose) following 26 weeks of treatment in patients with moderate to…
Shoulder load and daily activities compared between power assisted and manual wheelchair propulsion.
The primary objective is to compare forces and moments acting on the shoulder of manual wheelchair users during power assisted wheelchair propulsion and manual wheelchair propulsion and the perceived upper extremity load. The secondary objectives…
To demonstrate superiority of tiotropium vs. salmeterol in reducing exacerbations which are an important patient outcome because they are a major cause of morbidity from COPD. In addition, they are associated with a more rapid decline in lung…
The aim of this clinical study is to investigate whether the non-anaesthetic noble gas helium induces EPC and LPC of human endothelium in vivo.
The study is designed to compare the 24-h spirometry profile of two doses of indacaterol (150o.d. and 300 *g o.d.) with that of placebo (o.d.) and with tiotropium (18 *g o.d.) as an activecontrol in patients with COPD.
To demonstrate the superiority of indacaterol 150 µg o.d. in combination with tiotropium 18 µg o.d. versus tiotropium 18 µg o.d. with respect to standardized area under the curve (AUC) for forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) between 5 min *…
Primary objective: To demonstrate that QVA149 (110/50 *g o.d.) is superior to NVA237 (50 *g o.d.) with regard to the rate of moderate to severe COPD exacerbations during 64 weeks of treatmentSecondary objectives: To demonstrate that QVA149 (110/50 *…
