Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Mean Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) (NVA237 Versus Tiotropium)
baseline, 12 weeks

Spirometry was conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Trough FEV1 referred to the mean of FEV1 at 23:15 hours and 23:45 hours after the morning dose of study drug. The baseline was defined as the average of FEV1 values taken in the clinic 45 min and 15 min prior to the first dose of randomized treatment at Visit 3. A mixed model was used and contained treatment as a fixed effect with the baseline measurement of trough FEV1, FEV1 prior to inhalation of short acting bronchodilators, and FEV1 post-inhalation of bronchodilators and stratification factors as covariates. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.
