Indacaterol was supplied in powder filled capsules together with a single dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI) device.
Tiotropium was supplied in powder filled capsules together the manufacture's proprietary inhalation device (HandiHaler®).
Placebo to indacaterol was supplied in powder filled capsules together with a single dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI) device.
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Standardized (With Respect to Length of Time) Area Under the Curve (AUC) From 5 Minutes to 8 Hours Post-dose at the End of Treatment (Week 12)
FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Measurements were made at 5 and 30 minutes; and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours post-dose at the end of the study (Week 12, Day 84). Standardized FEV1 AUC was calculated by the trapezoidal rule. The analysis included baseline FEV1, FEV1 pre-dose and 10-15 minutes post-dose of salbutamol/albuterol during screening, and FEV1 pre-dose and 1 hour post-dose of ipratropium during screening as covariates.
Time frame: From 5 minutes to 8 hours post-dose at the end of treatment (Week 12, Day 84)
Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) 24 Hours Post-dose at the End of Treatment (Week 12 + 1 Day, Day 85)
FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Measurements were made at 23 hours 10 minutes and 23 hours 45 minutes post-dose at the end of the study (Week 12 + 1 day, Day 85). The analysis included baseline FEV1, FEV1 pre-dose and 10-15 minutes post-dose of salbutamol/albuterol during screening, and FEV1 pre-dose and 1 hour post-dose of ipratropium during screening as covariates.
Time frame: 24 hours post-dose at the end of treatment (Week 12 + 1 day, Day 85)
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Standardized (With Respect to Length of Time) Area Under the Curve (AUC) From 5 Minutes to 8 Hours Post-dose on Day 1
FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Measurements were made at 5 and 30 minutes; and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1. Standardized FEV1 AUC was calculated by the trapezoidal rule. The analysis included baseline FEV1, FEV1 pre-dose and 10-15 minutes post-dose of salbutamol/albuterol during screening, and FEV1 pre-dose and 1 hour post-dose of ipratropium during screening as covariates.
Time frame: From 5 minutes to 8 hours post-dose on Day 1

Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) 24 Hours Post-dose on Day 2
FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Measurements were made at 23 hours 10 minutes and 23 hours 45 minutes post-dose on Day 2. The analysis included baseline FEV1, FEV1 pre-dose and 10-15 minutes post-dose of salbutamol/albuterol during screening, and FEV1 pre-dose and 1 hour post-dose of ipratropium during screening as covariates.
