Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants Reporting Safety and Tolerability in Terms of Adverse Event (AE) Reporting Rate

Time Frame: 52 weeks

Adverse events are defined as any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign (including an abnormal lab finding), syndrome or disease which either occurs during study, having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, appears to worsen. Serious adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require (or prolong) hospitalization, cause persistent or significant disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or are other conditions which in judgments of the investigators represent significant hazards.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Time to Treatment Discontinuation(52 Weeks)
  • Change From Baseline in Pre-dose Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) in One Second at All Post Baseline Timepoints(-45 min and -15 minutes baseline and at Week 52)
  • Change From Baseline in Pre-dose Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at All Post-baseline Timepoints(-45 min and -15 minutes baseline and at Week 52)
  • Change From Baseline in COPD Symptoms(52 weeks)
  • Change From Baseline in Mean Daily Number of Puffs of Rescue Medication(52 weeks)
  • Change From Baseline in Mean Forced Expiratory Volume (Average of the Two FEV1 Measurements 45 and 15 Minutes Pre-dose) in One Second at Week 52(-45 min and -15 minutes baseline and at Week 52)
  • Time to First COPD Exacerbation (Moderate or Severe).(52 weeks)
