Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Total Number of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbations Per Patient-treatment Year
Number of COPD-related exacerbations per patient-treatment year. COPD-related exacerbation was defined as worsening COPD that required a course of oral steriods for treatment and/or hospitalization.
Rate of Exacerbations Per Subject-year
Rate of exacerbations per subject-year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Pre-dose Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)
Change in pre-dose FEV1 from baseline to the average of the randomized treatment period, as calculated by averaging treatment period FEV1 values and subtracting the pre-dose value.
Morning Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)
Change in morning PEF from baseline to the average of the randomized treatment period, as calculated by averaging treatment period PEF values and subtracting the baseline morning PEF value.
Evening PEF
Change in evening PEF from baseline to the average of the randomized treatment period, as calculated by averaging treatment period PEF values and subtracting the baseline evening PEF value.
Dyspnea Symptom Scores
Change from baseline of Dyspnea symptoms evaluated using the breathlessness diary, a 5-point Likert-type scale, ranging from 0 to 4 with higher scores indicating a more severe manifestation of the Dyspnea symptom. Change from baseline was calculated by averaging treatment period Dyspnea scores and subtracting the baseline Dyspnea scores.
Use of Rescue Medication
Change from baseline in the use of beta-2 agonists, as calculated by averaging treatment period inhalations per day and subtracting the baseline number of inhalations per day.
St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Score
Change from baseline in the SGRQ overall score, as calculated by averaging treatment period SGRQ scores and subtracting the baseline SGRQ scores. The SGRQ contains 3 domains: Symptoms (distress due to respiratory symptoms, 8 questions), Activity (disturbance of physical activity, 16 questions), and Impacts (overall impact on daily life and well-being, 26 questions). Lower scores are associated with less severe symptoms.
