Objective: To compare efficacy of indacaterol to that of fixed-dose combination (FDC)-formoterol and budesonide (FOR/BUD) and FDC salmeterol and fluticasone (SAL/FP) for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) based on the available randomized clinical trials (RCTs).Methods: Fifteen placebo-controlled RCTs were included that evaluated: indacaterol 150 mu g (n = 5 studies), indacaterol 300 mu g (n = 4), FOR/BUD 9/160 mu g (n = 2), FOR/BUD 9/320 mu g (n = 3), SAL/FP 50/500 mu g (n = 5), and SAL/FP 50/250 mu g (n = 1). Outcomes of interest were trough forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), total scores for St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and transition dyspnea index (TDI). All trials were analyzed simultaneously using a Bayesian network meta-analysis and relative treatment effects between all regimens were obtained. Treatment-by-covariate interactions were included where possible to improve the similarity of the trials.Results: Indacaterol 150 mu g resulted in a higher change from baseline (CFB) in FEV1 at 12 weeks compared to FOR/BUD 9/160 mu g (difference in CFB 0.11 L [95% credible intervals: 0.08, 0.13]) and FOR/BUD 9/320 mu g (0.09 L [0.06, 0.11]) and was comparable to SAL/FP 50/250 mu g (0.02 L [-0.04, 0.08]) and SAL/FP 50/500 mu g (0.03 L [0.00, 0.06]). Similar results were observed for indacaterol 300 mu g at 12 weeks and indacaterol 150/300 mu g at 6 months. Indacaterol 150 mu g demonstrated comparable improvement in SGRQ total score at 6 months versus FOR/BUD (both doses), and SAL/FP 50/500 mu g (-2.16 point improvement [-4.96, 0.95]). Indacaterol 150 and 300 mu g demonstrated comparable TDI scores versus SAL/FP 50/250 mu g (0.21 points (-0.57, 0.99); 0.39 [-0.39, 1.17], respectively) and SAL/FP 50/500 mu g at 6 months.Conclusion: Indacaterol monotherapy is expected to be at least as good as FOR/BUD (9/320 and 9/160 mu g) and comparable to SAL/FP (50/250 and 50/500 mu g) in terms of lung function. Indacaterol is also expected to be comparable to FOR/BUD (9/320 and 9/160 mu g) and SAL/FP 50/500 mu g in terms of health status and to SAL/FP (50/250 and 50/500 mu g) in terms of breathlessness.
