Brief summary
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study. The FF/VI inhalation powder once daily and VI inhalation powder once daily will be evaluated in subjects with COPD over 156 weeks. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the inhaled corticosteroid FF on bone mineral density assessed at the total hip by comparing FF/VI treatment with VI treatment in subjects with moderate COPD.
Interventions

Inclusion criteria
* Informed consent: Subjects must give their signed and dated written informed consent to participate. * Gender: Male or female subjects. Female subjects must be post-menopausal or using a highly effective method for avoidance of pregnancy. The decision to include or exclude women of childbearing potential may be made at the discretion of the investigator in accordance with local practice in relation to adequate contraception. * Age: \>= 40 years of age at Screening (Visit 1) * COPD diagnosis: Subjects with a clinical history of COPD in accordance with the following definition by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society: COPD is a preventable and treatable disease characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases, primarily caused by cigarette smoking. Although COPD affects the lungs, it also produces significant systemic consequences. * Tobacco use: Subjects with a current or prior history of \>=10 pack-years of cigarette smoking at screening (Visit 1). Former smokers are defined as those who have stopped smoking for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1. Number of pack years = (number of cigarettes per day/20) x number of years smoked Note: Pipe and/or cigar use cannot be used to calculate pack year history. * Severity of Disease: Subject with a measured post-albuterol/salbutamol Forced expiratory volume (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio of \<0.70 at Screening (Visit 1). Subjects with a measured post-albuterol/salbutamol 50% \<=FEV1 \<=70% of predicted normal values calculated using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) reference equations at Screening (Visit 1). * Native Hip: Have at least one evaluable native hip.
Exclusion criteria
* Pregnancy: Women who are pregnant or lactating or are planning on becoming pregnant during the study. * Asthma: Subjects with a current diagnosis of asthma. (Subjects with a prior history of asthma are eligible if they have a current diagnosis of COPD). * Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency: Subjects with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency as the underlying cause of COPD. * Other respiratory disorders: Subjects with tuberculosis, lung cancer, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, lung fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung diseases or other active pulmonary diseases. * Lung resection or transplantation: Subjects with lung volume reduction surgery within the 12 months prior to Screening Visit 1 or having had a lung transplant. * Chest X-ray: Subjects with a chest X-ray (or Computer Axial Tomography (CT) scan) that revealed evidence of clinically significant abnormalities not believed to be due to the presence of COPD. A chest X-ray should be taken at Screening Visit 1 if a chest X-ray or CT scan is not available within 12 months prior to Visit 1. * Poorly controlled COPD: Subjects with poorly controlled COPD, defined as the occurrence of the following in the 12 weeks prior to Screening Visit 1: Acute worsening of COPD that is managed by the subject with corticosteroids or antibiotics or that requires treatment prescribed by a physician or requires hospitalization. * Moderate or severe COPD exacerbation or lower respiratory tract infection: Subjects with 2 or more moderate or severe COPD exacerbations and/or a lower respiratory tract infection (including pneumonia) within the 12 months prior to Screening Visit 1 or experience a moderate or severe COPD exacerbation and/or a lower respiratory infection (including pneumonia) during the Run-In period. NOTE: A moderate COPD exacerbation is defined as requiring systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics. A severe COPD exacerbation is defined as requiring hospitalization. * Abnormal clinically significant laboratory finding: Subjects who have an abnormal, clinically significant finding in any liver chemistry, biochemical, or haematology tests at Screening Visit 1 or upon repeat prior to randomization. * Abnormal and clinically significant 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG): Subjects who have an abnormal, clinically significant ECG finding at Screening Visit 1. * Non-Compliance during Run-In Period: Failure to demonstrate adequate compliance with run-in medication (\< 80% compliant), the ability to withhold COPD medications, and to keep clinic visit appointments. * Bone disorders/conditions: Subjects with historical or current evidence of bone cancer, severe scoliosis, rheumatoid arthritis, metabolic bone diseases (other than osteoporosis) including hyper-or hypo-parathyroidism, Paget's disease of bone, osteomalacia, or osteogenesis imperfecta.

Percentage Change From Baseline in BMD Measurements at Total Hip by Gender (Female Participants)
BMD analysis performed on log (BMD ratio to baseline) using separate repeated measures models for each gender with covariates of treatment group, age, baseline BMI, visit, log baseline BMD, log baseline BMD by visit and treatment group by visit interactions. These estimates were then converted into annual changes and averaged to calculate the overall treatment estimates and difference which were used for testing non-inferiority. The analysis shown is for the While on Treatment estimand of the difference in percentage change from baseline per annum between FF/VI ± BMD medication/SCS (systemic corticosteroids) and VI ± BMD medication/SCS. Baseline is defined as the measurement performed at Visit 1. Percentage change is calculated as (BMD value post-Baseline divided by Baseline value) -1 multiplied by 100.
Time frame: Baseline (Visit 1) and 26, 52, 78, 104, 130 and 156 Weeks
Population: Safety Population. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n= X in the category titles).
