A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Within-device, Double-blind Tri-national Study to Compare the Safety and Efficacy of Berodual® Administered Via the Respimat® Device (50 µg Fenoterol Hydrobromide/20 µg Ipratropium Bromide and 25 µg Fenoterol Hydrobromide/10 µg Ipratropium Bromide, 1 Puff q.i.d) With That Administered Via the MDI (50 µg Fenoterol Hydrobromide/21 µg Ipratropium Bromide, 2 Puffs q.i.d) in COPD Patients Over a 12-week Period

简要总结
To demonstrate that at least one of the two doses of Berodual® (50 µg fenoterol hydrobromide/20 µg ipratropium bromide and 25 µg fenoterol hydrobromide/10 µg ipratropium bromide, 1 puff q.i.d) administered via the Respimat® gives a bronchodilator response which is not inferior to that obtained from one dose of Berodual® (50 µg fenoterol hydrobromide/21 µg ipratropium bromide, 2 puffs q.i.d) administered via the MDI and that the safety profile is at least as good when COPD patients are treated for 12 weeks.

排除标准
- •History of cardiovascular, renal, neurologic, liver or endocrine dysfunction (e.g. hyperthyreosis) if they are clinically significant. A clinically significant disease is defined as one which in the opinion of the investigator may either put the patient at risk because of participation in the study or a disease which may influence the results or the study or the patient's ability to participate in the study

- •An upper and lower respiratory tract infection in the four weeks prior to the screening visit
- •Patients with known symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy or bladder neck obstruction
- •Patients with known narrow-angle glaucoma or raised intra-ocular pressure
- •Patients with clinically significant abnormal baseline haematology, blood chemistry or urinalysis, if the abnormality defines a disease listed as an exclusion criterion
- •Patients with:
- •Serum glutamic oxalo-acetic transaminase (SGOT) or serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) >200% of the upper limit of the normal range
- •Bilirubin >150% of the upper limit of the normal range
- •Creatinine >125% of the upper limit of the normal range
- •Patients who are on chronic oxygen therapy
- •Intolerance to aerosolised ipratropium- or fenoterol-containing products, or hypersensitivity to any of the MDI ingredients
- •Oral corticosteroid mediation at dose greater than 10 mg prednisolone per day or equivalent
- •Beta-blocker medication
- •Changes in the pulmonary therapeutic plan within the last four weeks prior to the screening visit (not including withholding of medication before the screening visit)
- •Concomitant or recent (within the last month) use of investigational drugs
- •History of drug abuse and/or alcoholism
- •Pregnant or nursing women and women of child-bearing potential not using a medically approved means of contraception
- •Previous participation in this study (i.e. having been allocated a randomized treatment number)
- •Patients with a history of asthma, allergic rhinitis or atopy or who have blood eosinophil count above 600/mm3 (a repeat eosinophil count will not be conducted in these patients) and those patients on antihistamines, anti-leukotrienes, sodium cromoglycate or nedocromil sodium
- •Patients who are unable to comply with the medication restrictions specified in section 4.2 or who cannot use an MDI without a spacer
