Primary outcomePrimary: Change From Baseline in Mean 24 Hour Heart Rate at Day 14 — -0.113; 0.787; -0.230; 0.240 beats per minute
Summary
An investigational inhalation product (QVA149) for the treatment of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is being developed. This 14 day study will investigate the effect on heart rate and cardiovascular effects to ensure the product is safe.
