Overview
Brief Summary
Relatively little information is available about the effects of salmeterol/fluticasone combination and fluticasone alone in COPD patients with a partial reversible pulmonary obstruction. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of salmeterol/fluticasone combination with fluticasone alone delivered via Diskus/ACCUHALER inhaler in subjects with COPD on lung function over a 1 year period.
Detailed Description
Multi-centre, double-blind, randomised and stratified parallel group study to compare the efficacy and safety of fluticasone propionate 500 mcg bd versus salmeterol/fluticasone combination 50/250 mcg bd both via Diskus inhaler during 1 year in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD) patients with a partially reversible obstruction.

Primary Outcomes
Difference in efficacy of a 12 months treatment with salmeterol/fluticasone combination versus fluticasone on lung function (FEV1) as percentage predicted.
Secondary Outcomes
- Reversibility of lung function with salbutamol and on Forced Vital capacity (FVC), TLC, FRC, FVC, Inspiration capacity(IC), Forced Inspiratory Volume in 1 second (FIV1) and Maximum mid-Expiratory Flow (MEF50).
