NCT ID:
NCT01323660
Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Type of subject: Outpatient.
* Informed Consent: A signed and dated written informed consent prior to study participation.
* Age: 40 years of age or older at Visit 1.
* Gender: Male or female subjects.
* Diagnosis: An established clinical history of COPD in accordance with the definition by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society \[Celli, 2004\]
* Smoking History: Current or former cigarette smokers with a history of cigarette smoking of ≥ 10 pack-years
* Severity of Disease: A post-albuterol/salbutamol FEV1/FVC ratio of 0.70 and a post-albuterol/salbutamol FEV1 of \>35% and \<70% of predicted normal
* Dyspnea: A score of ≥2 on the Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC) at Visit 1
* Resting Lung Volumes: A resting FRC of ≥120% of predicted normal FRC at Visit 1.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Pregnancy: Women who are pregnant or lactating or are planning on becoming pregnant during the study.
* Asthma: A current diagnosis of asthma.
* Other Respiratory Disorders: Known respiratory disorders other than COPD including but not limited to alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, active tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, lung fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, and interstitial lung disease. Allergic rhinitis is not exclusionary.
* Other Diseases/Abnormalities: Subjects with historical or current evidence of clinically significant cardiovascular, neurological, psychiatric, renal, hepatic, immunological, endocrine (including uncontrolled diabetes or thyroid disease) or haematological abnormalities that are uncontrolled and/or a previous history of cancer in remission for \< 5 years prior to Visit 1 (localized carcinoma of the skin that has been resected for cure is not exclusionary). Significant is defined as any disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the safety of the subject at risk through participation, or which would affect the efficacy or safety analysis if the disease/condition exacerbated during the study. Any physical or mental abnormality which would affect the patient carrying out exercise tests including peripheral vascular disease should be excluded at the investigators discretion.
* Chest X-Ray: A chest X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan that reveals evidence of clinically significant abnormalities not believed to be due to the presence of COPD. A chest X-ray must be taken at Visit 1 if a chest X-ray or CT scan is not available within 6 months prior to Visit 1. For subjects in Germany, if a chest X-ray (or CT scan) is not available in the 6 months prior to Visit 1 the subject will not be eligible for the study.
* Contraindications: A history of allergy or hypersensitivity to any anticholinergic/muscarinic receptor antagonist, beta2-agonist, lactose/milk protein or magnesium stearate or a medical condition such as narrow-angle glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy or bladder neck obstruction that, in the opinion of the study physician contraindicates study participation or use of an inhaled anticholinergic.
* Hospitalization: Hospitalization for COPD or pneumonia within 12 weeks prior to Visit 1.
* Lung Resection: Subjects with lung volume reduction surgery within the 12 months prior to Screening (Visit 1).
* 12-Lead ECG: An abnormal and significant ECG finding from the 12-lead ECG conducted at Visit 1, including the presence of a paced rhythm on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) which causes the underlying rhythm and ECG to be obscured. Investigators will be provided with ECG reviews conducted by a centralized independent cardiologist to assist in evaluation of subject eligibility.
* Screening Labs: Significantly abnormal finding from clinical chemistry and hematology tests at Visit 1.
* Medication Prior to Spirometry: Unable to withhold albuterol/salbutamol for the 4 hour period required prior to spirometry testing at each study visit.
* Medications prior to Screening, including depot,oral corticosteroids, combinations of LABA/ICS, LABA, PDE4 inhibitors.
* Oxygen: Use of long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) described as oxygen therapy prescribed for greater than 12 hours a day. As-needed oxygen use (i.e., \<12 hours per day) is not exclusionary.
* Nebulized Therapy: Regular use (prescribed for use every day, not for as-needed use) of short-acting bronchodilators (e.g., albuterol/salbutamol) via nebulized therapy
* Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program: Participation in the acute phase of a pulmonary rehabilitation program within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1. Subjects who are in the maintenance phase of a pulmonary rehabilitation program are not excluded.
* Drug or Alcohol Abuse: A known or suspected history of alcohol or drug abuse within 2 years prior to Visit 1.
* Affiliation with Investigator Site: Is an investigator, sub-investigator, study coordinator, employee of a participating investigator or study site, or immediate family member of the aforementioned that is involved in this study
