Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of roflumilast on exacerbation rate and pulmonary function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Roflumilast will be administered orally once daily in the morning at one dose level. The study duration will last up to 56 weeks. The study will provide further data on safety and tolerability of roflumilast. For additional information (for US patients only) see www.COPDSTUDY.net or dial 866-788-2673 (toll free).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

Pre-bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in First Second (FEV1)
Mean change from baseline during the treatment period in pre-bronchodilator FEV1 \[L\]
Change from baseline over 52 weeks of treatment
COPD Exacerbation Rate (Moderate or Severe)
Mean rate of COPD exacerbations requiring oral or parenteral glucocorticosteroids (=moderate COPD exacerbations), or requiring hospitalization, or leading to death (=severe COPD exacerbations), per patient per year. A COPD exacerbation is an event in the natural course of the disease characterized by a change in the patient's baseline dyspnea, cough and/or sputum beyond day-to-day variability sufficient to warrant a change in management \[American Thoracic Society (ATS) / European Respiratory Society (ERS) 2005\].
52 weeks treatment period

Secondary Outcomes (4)

Post-bronchodilator FEV1 [L]
Change from baseline over 52 weeks of treatment
Time to Mortality Due to Any Reason
52 weeks treatment period
Natural Log-transformed C-reactive Protein (CRP)
Change from baseline to last post randomization measurement (52 weeks)
Mean Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) Focal Score During the Treatment Period
Change from baseline over 52 weeks of treatment
