5. Patients with a post-bronchodilator FEV1 ≥25 and < 60% of the predicted normal value,
and post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 0.70 at Visit 101 (day -28).
(Post refers to 1 h after sequential inhalation of 84 μg (or equivalent dose) of ipratropium
bromide and 400 μg of salbutamol).
6. A documented history of at least 1 COPD exacerbation in the previous 12 months that
required treatment with systemic glucocorticosteroids and/or antibiotics.
