Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The change from baseline of quality of life as assessed by St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ-C) [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The SGRQ-C contains 40 items divided into two parts covering three aspects of health related to COPD: symptoms, activity and impact. A score will be calculated for each of these three subscales and a "total" score will also be calculated. The sum of maximum possible weights for each The lowest possible value is zero and the highest 100. Higher values correspond to greater impairment of health status.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Improvement in Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) score [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) captures changes from baseline. The TDI score is based on three domains with each domain scored from -3 (major deterioration) to +3 (major improvement), to give an overall score of -9 to +9. A negative score indicates deterioration from baseline. A TDI score of 1 is considered to be a clinically significant improvement.

  • Rate of moderate COPD exacerbations [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Rate is the number of moderate exacerbations per year = total number of moderate exacerbations/total number of treatment years. COPD exacerbations were considered to be moderate if treatment with systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics were required.

  • Rate of severe COPD exacerbations [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Rate is the number of severe exacerbations per year = total number of severe exacerbations/total number of treatment years. COPD exacerbations were considered to be severe if hospitalization were required.

  • Time to first moderate or severe COPD exacerbation [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The time to the first moderate or severe COPD exacerbation was the study day on which the patient experienced first moderate or severe COPD exacerbation. COPD exacerbations are considered to be moderate if treatment with systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics was required. COPD exacerbations are considered to be severe if hospitalization were required.

  • Safety and tolerability [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Safety and tolerability will be evaluated from any adverse events, laboratory tests, physical examination and vital signs.

  • Trough forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The FEV1 will measure the maximum amount of air a patient can blow out of their lungs in 1 second. Trough FEV1 referring to mean of FEV1 at 23 hour 15 minute and 23 hour 45 minute after the morning dose.

  • Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) 30 min after the morning dose [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The FEV1 will measure the maximum amount of air a patient can blow out of their lungs in 1 second. FEV1 30min refers to spirometry 30 minutes after the morning dose.

  • Symptoms reported by patients using component score of Part I "symptoms" of the St George`s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ-C) [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Part I of the SGRQ-C covers "symptoms" and is concerned with respiratory symptoms, their frequency and severity. Each questionnaire response has a unique empirically derived "weight". A score will be calculated from these weights. The lowest possible value is zero and the highest 100. A higher value corresponds to greater impairment of health status.
