Title: A 12-week Treatment, 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 was designed to provide pivotal confirmation of efficacy and safety data for 2 doses of indacaterol (150 and 300 µg once daily \[od\]) in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Data from this study will be used for the registration of indacaterol in Japan.

  3. Post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC (forced volume capacity) \< 70% (Post refers to within 30 minutes after inhalation of 400 μg of salbutamol)
