Title: A 12 Week Treatment, Multi-center, Randomized, Parallel Group, Double Blind, Double Dummy Study to Assess the Superiority of Indacaterol (150 µg o.d.) Via a SDDPI in Patients With Moderate to Severe COPD, Using Salmeterol (50 µg b.i.d.) as an Active Comparator Delivered Via a DISKUS Inhaler
Brief Summary: This study compared the safety and efficacy of indacaterol 150 µg taken once daily (o.d.) versus salmeterol 50 µg taken twice daily (b.i.d) in patients 40 years old or older with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
