Tiotropium Respimat Pharmacokinetic Study in COPD - Full Text View

Purpose

The purpose of this study is compare the effect of different doses of tiotropium delivered by the HandiHaler and Respimat device on lung function. Additionally, the study will investigate the pharmacokinetic profile of these different doses. Studying the pharmacokinetic profile shows what happens to the medication in the body over a period of hours and provides information on potential effects of the medication.

FVC AUC0-6h at the End of Each Treatment Period [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
FVC AUC0-6h calculated from zero time to 6 hours using the trapezoidal rule divided by 6 hours. Trough FVC will be assigned to zero time. Means are adjusted for sequence, patients within sequences, period and treatment.
