Spirometry is conducted according to the global standard. FEV1 AUC (5 min-4 h), (5 min-24 h) is measured after the first dose on Day 1 and on Day 28 and Day 84 in a subset of approximately 60 patients. Scheduled (not actual) time points are to be used. The interpretation of FEV1 at time 0 is the baseline value at the randomization visit and the latest pre-dose value (-50 min or -15 min) at subsequent visits. The standardized AUC(5 min - 4 h) for FEV1 will be summarized by treatment. The same will be repeated for standardized AUC for FEV1 between 5 min and 24 hours post morning dose.

A Total and three component scores are calculated: Symptoms; Activity; Impacts. Each component of the questionnaire is scored separately:The score for each component is calculated separately by dividing the summed weights by the maximum possible weight for that component and expressing the result as a percentage: Score = 100 x Summed weights from all positive items in that component divided by Sum of weights for all items in that component The Total score is calculated in similar way: Score = 100 x Summed weights from all positive items in the questionnaire divided by Sum of weights for all items in the questionnaire Sum of maximum possible weights for each component and Total: Symptoms 566.2 Activity 982.9 Impacts 1652.8 Total (sum of maximum for all three components) 3201.9 The proportion of patients who achieve a clinically important improvement of at least 4 units in the total SGRQ will be analyzed. The higher the score the more symptoms of disease are present.

Full analysis set : At baseline all subjects with a baseline value are included. At each post-baseline day, only subjects with a value at both baseline and the respective day are included. Baseline SGRQ was completed on Day 1 prior to first dose.

A TDI focal score of ≥1 is considered to be a clinically important improvement from baseline. Analysis of the proportion of subjects with a clinically important improvement of >=1 point in the TDI focal score, by visit

Full analysis set, All randomized patients. When data were missing or insufficient for any one of the domains a focal score could not be calculated.

It consists of eight items, each presented as a semantic 6-point differential scale, providing a total score out of 40. A higher score indicates a worse health status. Scores of 0 - 10, 11 - 20, 21 - 30 and 31 - 40 represent a mild, moderate, severe or very severe clinical impact of COPD upon the patient.

Scoring the MOS Sleep Survey is a two-step process:• All items are scored so that a high score reflects more of the attribute implied by the scale name. Each item is converted to a 0 to 100 possible range so that the lowest and highest possible scores are set at 0 and 100, respectively. In this format, scores represent the achieved percentage of the total possible score. For example, a score of 50 represents 50% of the highest possible score.

• Second, items within each scale are averaged together to create the 7 scale scores. Scales with at least one item answered can be used to generate a scale score. Items that are left blank (missing data) are not taken into account when calculating the scale scores. Scores represent the average for all items in the scale that the respondent answered. An additional measure is based on the average number of hours sleep each night during the past 4 weeks and are described in outcome measure 15.

The sleep quantity subscale,which refers to question 2 of the PRO: On average, how many hours did you sleep each night during the past 4 weeks. More hours of sleep indicate better outcome.

Full analysis set.Higher scores show better outcomes.Excepting the sleep quantity subscale,scoring the MOS requires two steps:(a) assigning a point value to each response and (b) summing the point values for all the items in a given subscale or index. Each subscale and index score is then converted to a T score with a mean of 50 and an SD of 10.

Time-to-event variables will be analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier estimates and the stratified Cox proportional hazard model by smoking status and COPD severity. The model will include treatment and country as factors, and FEV1 prior to inhalation and FEV1 15 min post inhalation of salbutamol/albuterol as covariates.
