Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Dagnosis of COPD. Relatively stable airway obstruction with post-bronchodilator FEV1 =30% of predicted normal and 10 pack-years. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Significant disease other than COPD. Abnormal baseline laboratory results. History of asthma or total blood eosinophil count =600/mm3. Thyrotoxicosis. Paroxysmal tachycardia (>100 beats per minute). Marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval. History of additional risk factors for Torsade de Pointes (TdP). History of myocardial infarction within 1 year of screening visit (Visit 1). Clinically relevant cardiac arrhythmia. Known active tuberculosis. Malignancy for which patient has undergone resection, radiation therapy or chemotherapy within last 5 years (patients with treated basal cell carcinoma are allowed). History of life-threatening pulmonary obstruction. History of cystic fibrosis. Clinically evident bronchiectasis. History of significant alcohol or drug abuse. Regular daytime oxygen. Rehabilitation programme within 6 weeks prior to start of study or during study. Administration of investigational drug within one month or six half lives (whichever is greater) prior to Screening Visit. Known hypersensitivity to ß-adrenergics and/or anticholinergic drugs, BAC, EDTA or any other component of the Respimat® inhalation solution delivery system. Pregnant or nursing women. Women of childbearing potential not using two highly effective methods of birth control (one barrier and one non-barrier).

Female patients will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless surgically sterilised by hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation, or post-menopausal for at least two years.
