Chul-Gyu Yoo, MD PhD
Abstract
This clinical study will assess efficacy and safety of indacaterol (150㎍ o.d.) in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with destroyed lung by tuberculosis.
There are few clinical studies in patients with COPD with destroyed lung by tuberculosis because tuberculosis patients are usually excluded from (phase II or III) clinical trials for drug registration although they are not prohibited from prescription of COPD drugs.
This clinical study will assess efficacy and safety of indacaterol (150㎍ o.d.) in patients with COPD with destroyed lung by tuberculosis.
