Comparison of Aclidinium Bromide and Formoterol Fumarate in Patients With Moderate to Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

May 8, 2017 updated by: AstraZeneca

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Multicenter, 4-Week Pilot Study to Assess Symptoms in Stable, Moderate to Severe COPD Patients Taking Aclidinium Bromide 200 mcg Once Daily in Combination With Formoterol Fumarate Once or Twice Daily Versus Formoterol Fumarate Twice Daily

This exploratory study will compare the efficacy of the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of aclidinium bromide and formoterol fumarate once daily in the morning and placebo once in the evening vs. the FDC once daily in the morning and formoterol fumarate once in the evening vs. formoterol fumarate twice daily. The study will assess pulmonary function and symptoms in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
