Summary

This study evaluated the effect of inhaled aclidinium bromide on exercise endurance and in reducing resting and dynamic lung hyperinflation in patients with moderate to severe COPD. It was 9 weeks in duration, consisting of; a 2-week run-in period, 6 weeks of double-blind treatment, and a 1-week follow-up phone call. All patients meeting the eligibility criteria were randomized to one of two treatment groups: aclidinium bromide or placebo.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • A diagnosis of stable moderate to severe COPD (GOLD 2006); post-levalbuterol FEV1 >=30% and = 120% of predicted value
  • Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI) focal score ≤ 7 at Visit 4

Exclusion Criteria

  • History of presence of asthma, allergic rhinitis, or atopy
  • Hospitalization for acute COPD exacerbation in the 3 months prior to study entry
  • Respiratory tract infection (including the upper respiratory tract) or COPD exacerbation in the 6 weeks prior to study entry
  • Clinically significant respiratory conditions other than COPD
  • Chronic use of oxygen therapy >= 15 hours a day
