Exclusion criteria: - History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or to drugs of similar chemical classes - Any significant medical condition that in the opinion of the Investigator may compromise patient safety, patient compliance, interfere with evaluations, or preclude completion of the trial - Patients who have had a lower respiratory tract infection within 6 weeks prior to randomization, or significant illness which has not resolved within two (2) weeks prior to initial dosing - Patients with concomitant pulmonary disease, e.g., pulmonary tuberculosis - Patients with a history of asthma - HbA1c > 8% at screening to identify patients with poorly controlled Type I or Type II diabetes - Women of child-bearing potential , defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant - Patients unable to successfully use a dry powder inhaler device or perform spirometry - Subjects with contraindications to MRI

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess global ventilated lung volume after treatment with QVA149 compared to placebo; Secondary Objective: - To assess regional lung ventilated volume after treatment with QVA149 compared to placebo - To assess gas trapping and collateral ventilation with regional mapping of delayed ventilation during breath hold after treatment with QVA149 compared to placebo - To evaluate physiologic measures of lung function after treatment with QVA149 compared to placebo to provide a measure of assay sensitivity for this study - To assess small airway function after treatment with QVA149 compared to placebo ;Primary end point(s): Global lung ventilation volume;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 8 days of treatment with QVA149

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - MRI to assess regional ventilation defects and to measure pulmonary perfusion - Collateral ventilation with regional mapping of delayed ventilation during breath hold MRI lung imaging - Spirometry to assess FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio. - Lung Clearance Index ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 8 days of treatment with QVA149
