Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: Not Recruiting
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 56

Inclusion Criteria

Subjects eligible for enrolment in the study must meet all of the following criteria:
1. Type of subject: Outpatient
2. Informed Consent: Subjects must give their signed and dated written informed consent to participate.
3. Age: Subjects 40 years of age or older at Visit 1.
4. Gender: Male or female subjects
A female is eligible to enter and participate in the study if she is of:
Non-child bearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant, including any female who is post-menopausal or surgically sterile). Surgically sterile females are defined as those with a documented hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation. Post-menopausal females are defined as being amenorrhoeic for greater than 1 year with an appropriate clinical profile, e.g., age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms.
OR
Child bearing potential, has a negative pregnancy test at screening, and agrees to one of the following acceptable contraceptive methods used consistently and correctly (i.e. in accordance with the approved product label and the instructions of the physician for the duration of the study – screening to follow-up contact):
• Abstinence
• Oral Contraceptive, either combined or progestogen alone
• Injectable progestogen
• Implants of levonorgestrel
• Estrogenic vaginal ring
• Percutaneous contraceptive patches
• Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) that meets the SOP effectiveness criteria as stated in the product label
• Male partner sterilization (vasectomy with documentation of azoospermia) prior to the female subject's entry into the study, and this male is the sole partner for that subject. For this definition, documented” refers to the outcome of the investigator's/designee’s medical examination of the subject or review of the subject's medical history for study eligibility, as obtained via a verbal interview with the subject or from the subject’s medical records.
• Double barrier method: condom and an occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with a vaginal spermicidal agent (foam/gel/film/cream/suppository)
5. Diagnosis: An established clinical history of COPD in accordance with the definition by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) [Celli, 2006].
6. Smoking History: Current or former cigarette smokers with a history of cigarette smoking of >=10 pack-years at Visit 1. Former smokers are defined as those who have stopped smoking for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1.
7. Severity of Disease: A post-albuterol/salbutamol FEV1/FVC ratio of <0.70 and a post-albuterol/salbutamol FEV1 of >=30 and <= 70% of predicted normal values at Visit 1 calculated using NHANES III reference equations[Hankinson, 2010] .

Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 28
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 28

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects meeting any of the following criteria must not be enrolled in the study:
1. Pregnancy: Women who are pregnant or lactating or are planning on becoming pregnant during the study.
2. Asthma: A current diagnosis of asthma.
3. Other Respiratory Disorders: Known alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, active lung infections (such as tuberculosis), and lung cancer are absolute exclusionary conditions. A subject who, in the opinion of the investigator, has any other significant respiratory conditions in addition to COPD should be excluded. Examples may include clinically significant bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension, sarcoidosis, or interstitial lung disease.
4. Other Diseases/Abnormalities: Subjects with historical or current evidence of clinically significant cardiovascular disorders especially coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias and uncontrolled hypertension. Other disorders include neurological, psychiatric, renal, hepatic, immunological, endocrine (including uncontrolled diabetes or thyroid disease) or hematological abnormalities that are uncontrolled and/or a previous history of cancer in remission for less than1 year 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.
5. Contraindications: A history of allergy or hypersensitivity to any anticholinergic/muscarinic receptor antagonist, beta2-agonist, or a medical condition such as of 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.
6. Hospitalization: Hospitalization for COPD or pneumonia within 12 weeks prior to Visit 1.
7. Medication Prior to Spirometry: Unable to withhold ipratropium bromide or albuterol/salbutamol for the 6-hour period required prior to spirometry testing at each study visit.
8. Medications Prior to Screening: Use of the following medications according to the following defined time intervals prior to Visit 1 (see table in Section 5.3 of Protocol).
9. 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.
10. Participation in a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program
