P191 QVA149 once daily improves exercise tolerance and lung function in patients with moderate to severe COPD: the BRIGHT study: Abstract P191 Table 1

Introduction QVA149 is a novel once-daily fixed-dose combination of the long-acting β 2 -agonist indacaterol and the long-acting muscarinic antagonist glycopyrronium (NVA237) in development for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The BRIGHT study evaluated the effects of QVA149 versus placebo and tiotropium on exercise tolerance and lung function in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD. Methods In a double-blind, double-dummy, 3-period crossover study, patients with moderate-to-severe COPD were randomised to QVA149 110/50 µg, placebo or tiotropium 18 µg once daily for 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was exercise endurance time for QVA149 versus placebo during a sub…
