What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximal Response of Incremental Once Daily and Twice Daily Doses of NVA237 That Each Dose Achieves in Relation to the Maximal Effect of NVA237 on Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second at Day 28

    Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) is calculated as the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second as measured by a spirometer. The maximal response of incremental once daily and twice daily doses of NVA237 that each dose achieves in relation to the maximal effect of NVA237 on Trough FEV1 was measured at Day 28. FEV1 was measured in response to all doses administered (see Outcome Measure #19). All trough FEV1 responses to active doses were corrected using the placebo response. A modeled dose response curve was fit to the placebo-corrected data, and extrapolated to estimate the maximal response. All trough FEV1 data are reported as a percentage of the theoretical maximal response. Trough FEV1 was defined as the mean of the 23 hour 15 minute and 23 hour 45 minute post-dose values.

SecondaryTrough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second for Once and Twice Daily Regimens of NVA237 for the Same Total Daily Dose of NVA237

Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) is calculated as the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second as measured by a spirometer. FEV1 was measured between dosing regimens (over the range 20 micrograms to 55 micrograms total daily dose) after 28 days of treatment. Mean trough FEV1 was measured in response to all doses administered (12.5 µg q.d., 25.0 µg q.d., 12.5 µg b.i.d., 50 µg q.d., 25 µg b.i.d., 100 µg q.d., 50.0 µg b.i.d., and Placebo; see Outcome Measure # 19), and was used to compute modeled dose-response curves for once-daily and twice-daily regimens separately. The difference between those curves was computed at pre-specified theoretical doses (20 µg, 25 µg, 30 µg, 35 µg, 40 µg, 45 µg, 50 µg, and 55 µg) chosen at points likely to show the largest differences between the once-daily and twice-daily regimens. The theoretical responses to each dosing schedule separately and the difference between the once-daily and twice-daily regimens are represented below.

Other pre-specifiedTrough Forced Vital Capacity on Days 1, 7 and 14

Trough Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) on Days 1, 7 and 14. FVC is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. FVC was assessed via spirometry. (see Outcome Measure #23). Trough FVC was defined as the mean of the 23 hour 15 minute and 23 hour 45 minute post-dose values.
