Inclusion Criteria
  • Current or former cigarette smokers with a cigarette smoking history of at least 10 pack-years
  • A diagnosis of stable moderate to severe COPD and stable airway obstruction as defined by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease guidelines and stable airway obstruction.
Exclusion Criteria

  • Any respiratory tract infection (including the upper respiratory tract) or COPD exacerbation in the six weeks before Visit 1.
  • Patients with any clinically significant respiratory conditions other than COPD
  • Clinical history that suggests that the patient has asthma as opposed to COPD
  • Chronic use of oxygen therapy ≥ 15 hours/day
  • Patients with clinically significant cardiovascular conditions
  • Patients with uncontrolled infection that may place the patient at risk resulting from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), active hepatitis and/or patients with diagnosed active tuberculosis
  • Patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to inhaled anticholinergics,
  • Patients with Stage II hypertension, defined as systolic pressure of 160 and above, and/or diastolic pressure of 100 and above

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Patients to Experience at Least One Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)Up to study Week 56 ± 3 days

TEAEs were coded Version 16.0 of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Patients to Experience a Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) Change in Pulse Rate, Systolic and Diastolic Blood PressureUp to study Week 56 ± 3 days

Systolic BP ≥180 mmHg and increase ≥20 mmHg from baseline or ≤90 mmHg and decrease ≥20 mmHg from baseline; Diastolic BP ≥105 mmHg and increase ≥15 mmHg from baseline or ≤50 mmHg and decrease ≥15 mmHg from baseline; Pulse rate ≥ 110 bpm and increase ≥ 15% from baseline or ≤ 50 bpm and decrease ≥15% from baseline

Percentage of Patients to Experience Potentially Clinically Significant Changes in ECG From BaselineUp to study Week 56 ± 3 days

Potentially clinically significant changes were defined as listed in the table below for QT interval, QTcB, QTcF, QRS interval, PR interval and heart rate (HR)

Percentage of Patients to Experience Any Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) Post-baseline Change in Clinical Laboratory Values for Hematology, Chemistry or Urinalysis at the End of the StudyUp to study Week 52

\<0.85 x lower limit of normal (LLN) or \> 1.15 upper limit of normal (ULN) for hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell, platelet, white blood cell, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts \>1.15 × ULN for eosinophil, basophil and monocyte counts

\>1.15 x ULN for aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase, total bilirubin, creatinine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, triglycerides \<0.85 x LLN or \>1.15 ULN for fasting glucose, calcium, phosphorus, total protein and albumin \<0.95 x LLN or \>1.05 x ULN for sodium, potassium and chloride

Urinary blood, ketones or pH \<0.85 x LLN or \> 1.15 ULN
