Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Male or female adults aged ≥40 years, who have signed an Informed Consent Form prior to initiation of any study-related procedure.
- •Patients with moderate to severe stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) according to the Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) Guidelines
- •Patients who have smoking history of at least 10 pack years.
- •Patients with a post-bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) ≥30% and \< 80% of the predicted normal and post-bronchodilator FEV1/Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) \<0.70.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Pregnant or nursing women, or women of child-bearing potential, regardless of whether or not sexually active if they are not using acceptable methods of contraception.
- •Patients requiring long term oxygen therapy (\> 15 hours a day) on a daily basis for chronic hypoxemia, or who have been hospitalized or visited an emergency department for a COPD exacerbation or as result of their airways disease in the 6 weeks prior to screening.
- •Patients who have had a respiratory tract infection within 6 weeks prior to screening.
- •Patients with concomitant pulmonary disease, pulmonary tuberculosis (unless confirmed by chest x-ray to be no longer active) or clinically significant bronchiectasis.
- •Patients with any history of asthma indicated by (but not limited to) a blood eosinophil count \> 400/mm
- •Patients who, in the judgment of the investigator or the responsible Novartis personnel, have a clinically relevant laboratory abnormality or a clinically significant condition.
- •Patients with uncontrolled Type I and Type II diabetes.
- •History of malignancy of any organ system (including lung cancer), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years.
- •Patients who are contraindicated for or who have shown an untoward reaction to inhaled anticholinergic agents.
- •Patients with a history of long QT syndrome or whose QTc interval (Fridericia method) measured at screening is prolonged (\>450 ms for males or \>470 ms for females).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Day 7
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 7
Spirometry testing was performed in accordance with American Thoracic Society standards. Trough FEV1 was defined as the average of the 23 hour 15 minute and 23 hour 45 minute measurements post dosing. Baseline FEV1 is the mean of the 45 minute and 15 minute pre-dose FEV1 values at day 1 of each period. Least square means are based on the Analysis of Covariance Trough FEV1 at day 7 = sequence effect + patient(sequence) + period effect + treatment effect + (period) baseline FEV1 + error.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Discontinuations Due to Adverse Events(47 days)
- Standardized Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Area Under Curve (AUC) 5 Minutes-12 Hours at Day 7(Day 7)
