Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients with moderate to very severe COPD (GOLD 2 to GOLD 4) according to the 2011 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) Guidelines
- •Patients with a post-bronchodilator FEV1 < 70% of the predicted normal, and a post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 0.70 at run-in (Visit 101).
- •Current or ex-smokers who have a smoking history of at least 10 pack years (defined as the number of packs of 20 cigarettes smoked per day multiplied by number of years the patient smoked. e.g.10 pack years = 1 pack /day x 10 yrs, or ½ pack/day x 20 yrs). An ex-smoker may be defined as a subject who has not smoked for ≥ 6 months at screening.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients who have had a COPD exacerbation that required treatment with antibiotics and/or oral corticosteroids and/or hospitalization in the 6 weeks prior to screening (Visit 1).
- •Patients who develop a COPD exacerbation between screening (Visit 1) and treatment (Visit 201) will not be eligible but will be permitted to be re-screened after a minimum of 6 weeks after the resolution of the COPD exacerbation.
- •Patients who have had a respiratory tract infection within 4 weeks prior to screening Visit
- •Patients who develop a respiratory tract infection between screening (Visit 1) and treatment (Visit 201) will not be eligible, but will be permitted to be re-screened 4 weeks after the resolution of the respiratory tract infection.
- •Patients requiring long term oxygen therapy prescribed for >12 hours per day.
- •Patients with, a) any history of asthma or, b) onset of respiratory symptoms prior to age 40 years.
- •Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
