Response was defined as change from baseline. Baseline FEV1 was defined as the mean of the -1 h and -10 min measurements performed just prior to administration of the first am dose of randomized treatment. Means are adjusted using a mixed effects model with treatment (trt), tio stratum, visit, trt-by-visit interaction as fixed categorical effects, baseline and baseline-by-visit interaction as fixed continuous covariates and patient as random effect. FEV1 AUC 0-3h was calculated from 0-3 hours post-dose using the trapezoidal rule, divided by the observation time (3h) to report in litres.
Measured: 1 hour (h) and 10 minutes (min) prior to dose on the first day of randomized treatment (baseline) to -10 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 3 h relative to dose on Week 24

Primary outcome
Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Area Under Curve 0-3 Hour (h) (AUC 0-3h) Response at 24 Weeks
Time frame: 1 hour (h) and 10 minutes (min) prior to dose on the first day of randomized treatment (baseline) to -10 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 3 h relative to dose on Week 24
Response was defined as change from baseline. Baseline FEV1 was defined as the mean of the -1 h and -10 min measurements performed just prior to administration of the first am dose of randomized treatment. Means are adjusted using a mixed effects model with treatment (trt), tio stratum, visit, trt-by-visit interaction as fixed categorical effects, baseline and baseline-by-visit interaction as fixed continuous covariates and patient as random effect. FEV1 AUC 0-3h was calculated from 0-3 hours post-dose using the trapezoidal rule, divided by the observation time (3h) to report in litres.
Trough FEV1 Response at Week 24
Time frame: 1 h and 10 min prior to dose on the first day of randomized treatment (baseline) and -1 h (if available) and - 10 mins prior to study drug at week 24.
Response was defined as change from baseline. Baseline trough FEV1 was defined as the mean of the -1 hour and -10 minute measurements performed just prior to first dose of randomized treatment. Trough FEV1 is defined as the FEV1 performed at -10 mins prior to study drug inhalation as the end of the dosing interval or the mean of -1h and -10 min FEV1s if both available. Means are adjusted using a mixed effects model with treatment (trt), tio stratum, visit, trt-by-visit as fixed categorical effects, baseline and baseline-by-visit as fixed continuous covariates and patient as random effect.
Mahler Transitional Dyspnea Index Focal Score at 24 Weeks
Time frame: Baseline, Week 24
Mahler Transitional Dyspnea Index (TDI) focal score measures 3 components of dyspnea that evoke dyspnea in daily living: Functional Impairment, Magnitude of Task, and Magnitude of Effort. The TDI measures the change from the baseline assessment ranging from -9 (most deterioration) to +9 (most improvement).
Mahler Transitional Dyspnea Index Focal Score at 24 Weeks for Combined Analysis
Time frame: Baseline, Week 24
This outcome measure describes the combined analysis of the trials NCT00793624 and NCT00796653. Mahler Transitional Dyspnea Index (TDI) focal score measures 3 components of dyspnea that evoke dyspnea in daily living: Functional Impairment, Magnitude of Task, and Magnitude of Effort. The TDI measures the change from the baseline assessment ranging from -9 (most deterioration) to +9 (most improvement).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Olodaterol (BI 1744) and Formoterol in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 98 sites in 20 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 98 sites in Canada, Germany, India, Brazil, South Korea and 15 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jun 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Area Under Curve 0-3 Hour (h) (AUC 0-3h) Response at 24 Weeks (time frame: 1 hour (h) and 10 minutes (min) prior to dose on the first day of randomized treatment (baseline) to -10 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 3 h relative to dose on Week 24). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00796653, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jun 2014.
