A randomised, placebo-controlled, Phase II, dose-ranging trial of once-daily treatment with olodaterol, a novel long-acting β2-agonist, for 4 weeks in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Olodaterol is a novel long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) with ≥24-h duration of action in preclinical and clinical studies. OBJECTIVE: This Phase II, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-finding study evaluated four doses of once-daily olodaterol over 4 weeks in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), based on efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic parameters. METHODS: Patients received olodaterol inhalation solution or placebo via Respimat® Soft Mist™ inhaler once daily for 4 weeks. Pulmonary function testing was performed pre-dose (trough) and up to 3 or 6 h post-dose, depending on visit. Primary end point was change from baseline in trough forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) after 4 weeks' treatment. Secondary end points included change from baseline in peak FEV1 and FEV1 area under the curve from 0 to 6 h. RESULTS: 405 patients with COPD were randomised and assigned to treatment. Mean baseline post-bronchodilator FEV1 was 1.50 L (54% predicted). All olodaterol doses provided statistically significant increases in trough FEV1 compared to placebo (2 μg: 0.061 L [p = 0.0233]; 5 μg: 0.097 L [p = 0.0003]; 10 μg: 0.123 L [p < 0.0001]; 20 μg: 0.132 L [p < 0.0001]). A clear dose-response relationship was demonstrated regarding pulmonary function; the two highest olodaterol doses (10 and 20 μg) formed the plateau of the dose-response curve. All olodaterol doses were well tolerated, with no dose-dependent safety effects. CONCLUSION: Once-daily olodaterol demonstrated 24-h bronchodilator efficacy, confirming its potential as a once-daily LABA for the management of COPD.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
