Tiotropium Respimat Pharmacokinetic Study in COPD
A Multicenter, Randomised, Placebo- and Active-controlled, 5 Way, Crossover Trial to Characterise the Pharmacokinetics and Evaluate the Bronchodilator Efficacy and Safety of Once-daily Tiotropium Delivered (Double-blind) From the Respimat Inhaler as Solution for Inhalation (1.25, 2.5, 5 mcg or Placebo) and as Inhalation Powder (18mcg) From the HandiHaler (Open Label) After 4 Week-treatment Periods in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is compare the effect of different doses of tiotropium delivered by the HandiHaler and Respimat device on lung function. Additionally, the study will investigate the pharmacokinetic profile of these different doses. Studying the pharmacokinetic profile shows what happens to the medication in the body over a period of hours and provides information on potential effects of the medication.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Maximum Plasma Concentration at Steady-state (Cmax,ss)
Cmax,ss is the maximum measured concentration of tiotropium in plasma at steady-state.
Based on blood sampling for PK assessments done at 4 weeks at the following time points: 5 minutes (min) before study drug (baseline) and at 2 min , 5 min, 7 min, 9 min, 12 min, 15 min, 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 1 hour (h), 2 h, 4 h and 6 h post dosing.
Area Under the Curve 0 to 6 Hours at Steady-state (AUC0-6h,ss)
AUC0-6h,ss is the area under the concentration time curve of tiotropium in plasma over the time interval 0 to 6 hours post-dose at steady-state. AUC0-6h,ss was calculated using the linear up/log down algorithm.
Based on blood sampling for PK assessments done at 4 weeks at the following time points: 5 minutes (min) before study drug (baseline) and at 2 min , 5 min, 7 min, 9 min, 12 min, 15 min, 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 1 hour (h), 2 h, 4 h and 6 h post dosing.
