- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Standardized Dyspnea Score at Isotime During Exercise 2 Weeks Difference in standardized dyspnea rating at isotime during constant load exercise in patients with COPD between Fluticasone Propionate treatment and placebo treatment at the end of the treatment period.
Isotime is the duration of the shortest exercise test on all treatment days (or the longest exercise time point common to all constant-load exercise tests). The standardized dyspnea score will be measured with the modified 10-point Borg Scale (0 \[Best\] - 10 \[Worst\] ).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Exercise Endurance Time 2 Weeks Difference in exercise endurance time between Fluticasone Propionate treatment and placebo treatment at the end of the treatment period.
