Brief summary
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of multiple doses of inhaled aclidinium bromide in moderate to severe COPD patients.
Interventions
Tiotropium 18 μg once-daily via inhalation by Handihaler® dry powder inhaler: 1 puff in the morning for 15 days.
Inhaled placebo: 1 puff in the morning (placebo to tiotropium) or in the morning and evening (placebo to aclidnium) for 15 days.
Aclidinium bromide 400 μg twice-daily via inhalation by the Eklira Genuair® inhaler: 1 puff in the morning and evening for 15 days.
