Effects of Arformoterol on Exercise Endurance Time and Breathlessness in COPD: Cycle Ergometer vs. Treadmill
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Arformoterol tartrate, Placebo: Normal Saline, and 2 other interventions for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Previous studies suggest that treadmill exercise may be a more relevant exercise stimulus than the cycle ergometer to demonstrate benefits with bronchodilator therapy in patients with COPD. The hypothesis of the study is that patients with COPD will exhibit greater improvements in exercise endurance and breathlessness with arformoterol compared with normal saline during treadmill walking than with cycle exercise.
