4. Post bronchodilator (following inhalation of ipratropium bromide) FEV1 ≥ 40% and ≤ 70% of predicted normal during Screening.
5. Post bronchodilator (following inhalation of ipratropium bromide) FEV1/FVC ratio ≤ 0.70 during Screening.
6. Post bronchodilator (following inhalation of ipratropium bromide) improvement in FEV1 ≥ 12% and ≥ 100 mL during Screening.
7. Ability to perform reproducible spirometry according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and European Respiratory Society (ERS) guidelines (2005).

8. Female of child bearing potential (only) must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and be neither breastfeeding nor intending to become pregnant during study participation.

2. Current evidence or history of a clinically significant abnormality of cardiac rhythm and/or conduction including Holter monitoring prior to randomization.
3. Primary diagnosis of asthma.
4. History of malignancy of any organ system, treated or untreated within the past 5 years, with the exception of localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
5. Recent history of COPD exacerbation requiring hospitalization or need for increased treatments for COPD within 6 weeks prior to Screening.

9. History of tuberculosis, bronchiectasis or other non-specific pulmonary disease.
10. History of urinary retention or bladder neck obstruction type symptoms.
11. History of narrow angle glaucoma.
12. Prolonged QTcF interval (males > 450 msec and females >470 msec) during Screening, or history of long QT syndrome.
13. Recent history (previous 12 months) of excessive use or abuse of alcohol or narcotic/illegal drugs.
14. History of hypersensitivity or intolerance to aerosol medications, beta-2 agonists, or anticholinergics.
