A Study to Characterize Pharmacokinetics of Tiotropium + Olodaterol Fixed-dose Combination in Japanese Patients With COPD.

A Randomised, Open-label, Parallel-group Trial to Assess Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Tiotropium + Olodaterol Fixed-dose Combination (2.5 µg/ 5 µg, 5 µg/ 5 µg) Delivered by the RESPIMAT Inhaler After 3 Weeks Once Daily Treatment in Japanese Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The primary objective of this study is to assess pharmacokinetics of tiotropium + olodaterol fixed-dose combination (2.5 µg/ 5 µg, 5 µg/ 5 µg) delivered by the RESPIMAT inhaler after 3 weeks once daily treatment in Japanese patients with COPD.
