Patients being treated with any of the following concomitant medications: –medications that prolong the QT/QTc interval –oral ß-adrenergics –ß-blockers (topical ß -blockers for ocular conditions are allowed) –oral corticosteroid medication at unstable doses (i.e., less than six weeks on a stable dose)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to determine the optimum dose(s) of BI 1744 CL inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat® inhaler once daily for four weeks in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The selection of the optimum dose(s) will be based on bronchodilator efficacy, safety evaluations and pharmacokinetic evaluations.;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy variable will be forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). The primary endpoint is the trough FEV1 response [L] after four weeks of treatment. Trough FEV1 is defined as the mean of the two FEV1 values (performed at -1 hour and -10 minutes prior to test-drug inhalation) at the end of the dosing interval, 24 hours post-drug administration. Trough FEV1 response is defined as the change from baseline in trough FEV1. Baseline FEV1 is the mean of the two pre treatment FEV1 values measured at Visit 2 (- 1 hour and - 10 minutes) prior to administration of the first dose of study medication. | — |
