Brief summary
This study will assess the bronchodilator effects of multiple doses of QAX028 at two different dose levels when compared to tiotropium and placebo in a COPD population.
Interventions
QAX028 60 mcg via inhalation device
Tiotropium via inhalation device
Placebo to QAX028 via inhalation device

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measure: Compare the efficacy of QAX028 at a high dose, as measured by trough forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), to tiotropium | 7 days treatment |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Compare the efficacy of QAX028 at a low dose, as measured by trough FEV1, to tiotropium | 7 days treatment |
| Measure: Compare the efficacy of QAX028 at two dose levels, as measured by trough FEV1, to placebo | 7 days treatment |
| Measure: Evaluate the safety and tolerability of two dose levels of QAX028 in COPD patients | 7 days treatment |
| Measure: Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of multiple inhaled does of QAX028 | 7 days treatment |
| Measure: Assess bronchodilatory profile, as measured by FEV1, of multiple inhaled doses of QAX028 in COPD patients | 7 days treatment |
