Effect of Tiotropium Plus Salmeterol vs. Fluticasone/Salmeterol on Static Lung Volumes and Exercise Endurance in COPD
Effect of Inhalation of a Free Combination of Tiotropium Once Daily 18 Mcg and Salmeterol Twice Daily 50 Mcg Versus a Fixed Combination of Fluticasone and Salmeterol Twice Daily (500/50 Mcg) on Static Lung Volumes and Exercise Tolerance in COPD Patients (a Randomised, Double-blind, Double Dummy, 16 (2 x 8) Weeks, Crossover Study).

Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that treatment with a free combination of tiotropium and salmeterol provides superior improvement in static lung volumes and exercise tolerance compared to a fixed combination of fluticasone and salmeterol in patients with COPD. The secondary objective includes assessment of safety.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- The patient has signed an Informed Consent Form in accordance with GCP and local legislative requirements prior to participation in the trial, i.e., prior to pre-trial washout of any restricted medications.
- The patient has a clinical diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- The patient has relatively stable, moderate to severe airway obstruction.
- The patient has a pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) less than or equal to 65% of predicted normal determined at Visit 1 using the following predicted equations (R94-1408):
- Males Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) predicted \[Litres (L)\] = 4.30 x Height \[metres\] minus 0.029 x Age \[years\] minus 2.49
- Females Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) predicted \[Litres (L)\] = 3.95 x Height \[metres\] minus 0.025 x Age \[years\] minus 2.60 and a Thoracic Gas Volume (Functional residual volume) ((TGV)(FRC)) bigger than 120% predicted normal at visit 1 (or historical data not older than 6 month)
- Males Thoracic Gas Volume (Functional residual volume) ((TGV(FRC)) pred. \[Litres (L)\] = 2.34 x Height \[metres\] + 0.009 x Age \[years\] minus 1.09
- Females Thoracic Gas Volume (Functional residual volume) ((TGV(FRC)) pred. \[Litres (L)\] = 2.24 x Height \[metres\] + 0.001 x Age \[years\] minus 1.00
- The patient is at least 40 years and less than or equal to 75 years old.
- The patient has a cigarette smoking history of at least 10 pack-years. A pack-year is defined as the equivalent of smoking one pack of cigarettes per day for a year.
- The patient is able to perform all specified procedures and able to maintain all necessary records during the study period as required in the protocol.
- The patient is able to inhale the trial medication from the HandiHaler device.
- The patient is able to inhale the trial medication from the Diskus/Accuhaler device.
You may not qualify if:
- a significant disease other than chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). (review contraindications for exercise testing),
- a recent history of myocardial infarction within one year.
- a recent history of heart failure, pulmonary oedema, or patients with cardiac arrhythmia or any contraindication to exercise described in the CTProtocol within the last 3.
- daytime supplemental oxygen.
- a diagnosis of known active tuberculosis.
- a history of cancer within the last 5 years.
- a history of life-threatening pulmonary obstruction, or a history of cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis.
- thoracotomy with pulmonary resection.
- an upper respiratory tract infection or an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- a known hypersensitivity to anticholinergic drug, ß-adrenergic or corticosteroids, lactose or any other component of the inhalation capsule delivery system.
- a known symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy or bladder neck obstruction.
- a known moderate or severe renal insufficiency.
- a known narrow-angle glaucoma.
- a known untreated hypokalemia.
- a known untreated thyrotoxicosis.
