Further study details as provided by Novartis:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To demonstrate the superiority of once-daily QVA149 as compared to twice-daily fluticasone/salmeterol in terms of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) area under the curve for 0-12 hours (AUC0-12h) in patients with moderate to severe COPD. [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To evaluate the effect of QVA149 as compared to fluticasone/salmeterol in terms of standardized FEV1 AUC0-12h. [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To evaluate the effect of QVA149 as compared to fluticasone/salmeterol in terms of safety and tolerability as measured by adverse events [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
