Tiotropium + Flu/Sal
Flu/Sal
NVA237 50 µg once daily (NVA237 + Tiotropium placebo + Flu/Sal). NVA237 50 μg o.d., delivered via single-dose dry-powder inhaler (SDDPI) o.d. plus Placebo to tiotropium o.d. delivered via a proprietary inhalation device plus Flu/Sal 500/50 μg b.i.d. delivered via a proprietary inhalation device. In addition, at Visit 1, all participants were provided with a short acting β2-agonist (salbutamol) which they were instructed to use throughout the study as rescue medication.
