Brief summary

The primary objective of the study was to characterize the safety and tolerability of once-daily revefenacin inhalation solution when dosed sequentially with twice-daily formoterol inhalation solution (PERFOROMIST®) compared to PERFOROMIST®, in a population of participants with moderate-to-very severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) over 21 days.

Interventions

Revefenacin is administered via a nebulizer.

DRUGPlacebo

Placebo version of Revefenacin is administered via a nebulizer.

DRUGFormoterol

Administered sequentially in both revefenacin and placebo arms using a nebulizer.

Intervention model description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. Each participant will receive treatment daily for a total of 42 days. One group will receive placebo and formoterol and one group will receive revefenacin and formoterol.

Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Serious Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event

A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence occurring at any dose that resulted in any of the following outcomes: * Death * Life-threatening situation. Life-threatening refers to a situation in which the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which might have caused death if it were more severe * Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization * Congenital anomaly in the offspring of a participant who received study drug * Important medical events that may not result in death, be immediately life-threatening, or require hospitalization, could have been considered an SAE when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may have jeopardized the participant and may have required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition A treatment-emergent SAE is an SAE that occurred after the participant has received the study drug.

Time frame: Day 1 to End of Period 2, a Maximum of 42 days + 7 days follow-up (Each period was 21 days)

Population: The populations for Arms 1 and 2 are made up of the same participants, however 4 participants dropped out prior to beginning Period 2. Similarly, the populations for Arms 3 and 4 are made up of the same participants, but one participant dropped out prior to beginning Period 2.
