Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacodynamics of QAX028 Compared to Open-label Tiotropium Bromide and Placebo in Mild-to-moderate Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients.

April 27, 2011 updated by: Novartis

A Partially Blinded, Single-dose, Cross-over Proof of Concept Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of QAX028 Compared to Open-label Tiotropium Bromide (Positive Control) and Placebo in Mild-to-moderate COPD Patients

This will be a single dose Proof-of-Concept study in mild-to-moderate COPD patients. The study will investigate the safety and tolerability of QAX028 as well as the bronchodilatory effects of QAX028 compared to tiotropium and placebo in mild-to-moderate COPD patients.
