Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) 24 Hours Post-dose at the End of Each Treatment Period (Day 7)
Baseline to the end of each treatment period (Day 7)

FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FEV1 was defined as the average of measurements made 23 hours 10 minutes and 23 hours 45 minutes post-dose at Baseline and at the end of each treatment period. The analysis included period baseline FEV1 as covariate.

ArmTypeDescription
Indacaterol (ind) maleate-placebo-ind xinafoate-ind acetateEXPERIMENTALIn treatment period 1, patients received indacaterol maleate 400 μg; in treatment period 2, patients received placebo to indacaterol; in treatment period 3, patients received indacaterol xinafoate 400 μg; and in treatment period 4, patients received indacaterol acetate 400 μg. Patients received each treatment once daily for 7 days via the Concept1 single-dose dry-powder inhaler. There was a washout period of at least 7 days between each treatment period. Daily inhaled corticosteroid treatment (if applicable) was to remain stable throughout the study. The short-acting β2-agonist salbutamol/albuterol was available for rescue use throughout the study.

Frequently asked questions about Indacaterol 400 μg

What is Indacaterol 400 μg used for?

Indacaterol 400 μg is being studied for the treatment of asthma. It is an investigational small molecule developed by Novartis AG and has been evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial in adult patients with asthma. It is not approved for asthma; the completed study assessed efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics.

What does Indacaterol 400 μg target?

Indacaterol 400 μg targets ADRB2, the beta-2 adrenergic receptor. It acts as an agonist at this receptor. The target class is agonist, meaning the drug activates the receptor. This mechanism is relevant to its development in respiratory conditions such as asthma.

Who is developing Indacaterol 400 μg?

Indacaterol 400 μg is being developed by Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker NVS. Novartis is the sponsor of the clinical program for this investigational asthma therapy.

What phase is Indacaterol 400 μg in?

Indacaterol 400 μg is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. The Phase 2 program includes one completed trial in asthma.

What clinical trials is Indacaterol 400 μg in?

Indacaterol 400 μg has been studied in one completed Phase 2 trial, NCT00927901, titled "Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Indacaterol Salts in Patients With Asthma." The trial enrolled 30 adults with asthma across France, Germany, and Italy. It was randomized, double-blind, and controlled.
