Summary
Brief summary
In adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) the study will compare the efficacy of a corticosteroid combined with long-acting beta-agonist effective in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) values, as compared to corticosteroid. The hypothesis will consider the superiority of the combination therapy.
