Exclusion Criteria
  • COPD exacerbations within 6 weeks prior to dosing
  • Concomitant lung disease such as asthma, requirement for long term oxygen treatment or history of lung reduction surgery.
  • Medical conditions that would interfere with the performance of spirometry or may pose a potential hazard from performing spirometry.
  • Any other medical condition that in the opinion of the Investigator may cause the patient to be unsuitable for completion of the study or place the patient at potential risk from being in the study, e.g. uncontrolled hypertension, unstable ischemic heart disease.
  • Participation in any clinical investigation within 4 weeks prior to dosing or longer if required by local regulations, and for any other limitation of participation based on local regulations.
