Time Frame: Baseline and 4 weeks

Trough FEV1 (Forced expiratory volume in 1 second) was defined as the mean of the two FEV1 values (performed at 1 h and 10 min prior to study medication inhalation) at the end of the dosing interval, 24 hours post-drug administration. Trough FEV1 response was defined as the change from baseline in trough FEV1. Baseline FEV1 was defined as the mean of the 2 pre-treatment FEV1 values measured at Visit 2 (-1 h and -10 min) prior to administration of the first dose of study medication.

The means are adjusted, based on ANCOVA with terms for baseline, treatment, and centre (centre random, all other effects fixed).

These assessments were made prior to pulmonary function testing and reflected the physician's opinion of the patient's overall clinical condition. This evaluation was based on the need for concomitant medication, number and severity of COPD exacerbations since the last visit, severity of cough, ability to exercise, amount of wheezing, and other relevant clinical observations.
