Title: A Phase III, 26-week Multicenter Randomized Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Indacaterol (150 and 300 µg Once Daily [od]) in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Brief Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of two doses of indacaterol in adults aged 40 or over with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in China and in two other countries.
