PG - 90-101 LID - 10.3109/15412555.2012.661492 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: This Phase III study evaluated the efficacy and safety of twice-daily aclidinium 200 mug and 400 mug versus placebo in the treatment of moderate-to-severe COPD. METHODS: In this 12-week, double-blind, multicenter trial, patients were randomized (1:1:1) to inhaled twice-daily aclidinium 200 mug, aclidinium 400 mug, or placebo. Primary and secondary endpoints were changes from baseline in trough FEV(1) and peak FEV(1) at Week 12, respectively. Health status (St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire [SGRQ]), COPD symptoms (Transitional Dyspnea Index [TDI], night and early morning symptoms), and safety were also assessed. RESULTS: A total of 561 patients (mean age, 64 +/- 9 years) with a mean baseline FEV(1) of 1.36 +/- 0.54 L (47.2% of predicted value) were randomized. At Week 12, aclidinium 200 mug and 400 mug showed significant improvements from baseline in mean (95% CI) trough FEV(1) compared with placebo by 86 (45, 127) mL and 124 (83,164) mL, respectively, and in peak FEV(1) by 146 (101, 190) mL and 192 (148, 236) mL, respectively (p
