Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive
Conditions
Brief summary
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 4 weeks in Japanese 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.

Trough FEV1 Response at Week 2
Trough FEV1 is defined as the mean of the two FEV1 values (performed at -1 hour and -10 minutes prior to next 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 trough FEV1 is the mean of the two pre-treatment FEV1 values measured at Visit 2 prior to administration of the first dose of study medication
Time frame: baseline and after 2 weeks treatment
