Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Glycopyrronium bromide
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo to glycopyrronium bromide
Treatment: Drugs - Tiotropium

Experimental: Glycopyrronium bromide 50 µg - Patients inhaled glycopyrronium bromide 50 µg once daily in the morning between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM via a single-dose dry-powder inhaler (SDDPI) for 52 weeks. Daily inhaled corticosteroid treatment (if applicable) was to remain stable throughout the study. The short-acting ß2-agonist salbutamol/albuterol was available for rescue use throughout the study.

Placebo comparator: Placebo to glycopyrronium bromide - Patients inhaled placebo to glycopyrronium bromide once daily in the morning between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM via a single-dose dry-powder inhaler (SDDPI) for 52 weeks. Daily inhaled corticosteroid treatment (if applicable) was to remain stable throughout the study. The short-acting ß2-agonist salbutamol/albuterol was available for rescue use throughout the study.

Active comparator: Tiotropium 18 µg - Patients inhaled tiotropium 18 µg once daily in the morning between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM via a single-dose dry-powder inhaler (SDDPI) for 52 weeks. Daily inhaled corticosteroid treatment (if applicable) was to remain stable throughout the study. The short-acting ß2-agonist salbutamol/albuterol was available for rescue use throughout the study.


Treatment: Drugs: Glycopyrronium bromide
Glycopyrronium bromide was supplied in powder-filled capsules together with a single-dose dry-powder inhaler (SDDPI) device.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo to glycopyrronium bromide
Placebo to glycopyrronium bromide was supplied in powder-filled capsules together with a single-dose dry-powder inhaler (SDDPI) device.
