- Morning Pre-dose Trough FEV1 [ Time Frame: at Week 12 ]Morning pre-dose trough FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in one second) at week 12
- Time to First Moderate or Severe COPD Exacerbation [ Time Frame: over 52 weeks ]Time to first moderate or severe COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) exacerbation over 52 weeks
- Change From Baseline in Average Daily Rescue Ventolin HFA Use [ Time Frame: over 12 weeks ]Change from baseline in average daily rescue Ventolin HFA use over 12 weeks
- Percentage of Subjects Achieving an MCID (Minimal Clinically Important Difference) of 4 Units or More in Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score [ Time Frame: at Week 12 ]The SGRQ (St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire) is a disease-specific questionnaire, self-completed by participants, used to evaluate the effect of BFF MDI on health-related quality of life as compared to FF MDI in subjects with COPD. The scores range from 0 (minimum, best possible health status) to 100 (maximum, worst possible health status). The SGRQ contains 76 items grouped into three domains (symptoms, activity and impacts). Change from Baseline at a particular visit was calculated as the SGRQ total score at that visit minus Baseline. A decrease from baseline in SGRQ total score of 4 units or more is considered a clinically meaningful improvement in quality of life.
