Baseline and week 12
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Change in Health Status - mMRC
Baseline, week 12 and week 24
Change From Baseline in Mean Daily Number of Puffs of Rescue Medication Used Over the 24 Week Treatment
24 weeks
Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second at Week 24 (Analysis of Superiority)
Baseline and week 24
Change in Health Status - SGRQ-C
Baseline, week 12 and week 24
