Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change From Pre-dose (Visit 2) to Post-dose (Visit 5) Assessment in Oxygen Consumption (VO2; Obtained Via a Metabolic Cart)

    For all outcome measures, treatment group estimates are LS Means across visits (change between 2 or more time points, calculated as the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point, e.g. LS means across visits up to Visit 5 minus pre-dose Visit 2 value). Estimate for difference = LS Mean (Symbicort pMDI 160mcg/4.5ug) - LS Mean (placebo).

    Assessment (60 minutes pre and post dose) at Visit 2 (Day 0), Visit 3 (Day 7), Visit 4 (Day 14), and Visit 5 (Day 21); change from baseline pre-dose to Day 21 post-dose reported.

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Change From Pre-dose (Visit 2) to Post-dose (Visit 5) Assessment in Oxygen Pulse (Defined as VO2/Heart Rate [HR]; VO2 is Obtained Via a Metabolic Cart; Used as a Surrogate for Stroke Volume)

    Assessment (60 minutes pre and post dose) at Visit 2 (Day 0), Visit 3 (Day 7), Visit 4 (Day 14), and Visit 5 (Day 21); change from baseline pre-dose to Day 21 post-dose reported.

  • Change From Pre-dose (Visit 2) to Post-dose (Visit 5) Assessment in Gas Exchange Parameter HR

    Assessment (60 minutes pre and post dose) at Visit 2 (Day 0), Visit 3 (Day 7), Visit 4 (Day 14), and Visit 5 (Day 21); change from baseline pre-dose to Day 21 post-dose reported.

  • Change From Pre-dose (Visit 2)to Post-dose (Visit 5) Assessment in Spirometry.

    Assessment (60 minutes pre and post dose) at Visit 2 (Day 0), Visit 3 (Day 7), Visit 4 (Day 14), and Visit 5 (Day 21); change from baseline pre-dose to Day 21 post-dose reported.

  • Change in Vt/Ti

    Assessment (60 minutes pre and post dose) at Visit 2 (Day 0), Visit 3 (Day 7), Visit 4 (Day 14), and Visit 5 (Day 21); change from baseline pre-dose to Day 21 post-dose reported.

  • Change From Pre-dose (Visit 2) to Post-dose (Visit 5) Assessment in the Modified Borg Scale for Dyspnea

    Assessment (60 minutes pre and post dose) at Visit 2 (Day 0), Visit 3 (Day 7), Visit 4 (Day 14), and Visit 5 (Day 21); change from baseline pre-dose to Day 21 post-dose reported.

  • Previous enrollment or randomization in this study.
  • Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product (IP) during the last 30 days prior to Screening (Visit 1).
  • Subjects who are unable to discontinue their regular chronic COPD medications (including LAMAs and/or LABA/ICS) and/or who are unable or unwilling to comply with study requirements.
  • Subjects who are taking uLABAs (indacaterol, vilanterol) or uLABA-containing products.
  • Subjects who are taking PDE-4 inhibitors (roflumilast).
  • Subjects who are taking oral corticosteroids on a chronic, regular basis.
  • Subjects using daytime oxygen therapy.
  • Subjects who are currently pregnant (confirmed with positive pregnancy test) or breast feeding.
  • History of respiratory tract infection (including the upper respiratory tract) and/or pulmonary exacerbation within 6 weeks prior to Screening (Visit 1).
  • Pulmonary resection or lung volume reduction surgery within 12 months prior to Screening (Visit 1), or history of lung transplantation, or, in the Investigator's opinion, the subject may need thoracotomy or other lung surgery during the study.
  • History or current diagnosis of asthma and/or alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency.
  • Known active tuberculosis.
  • History of interstitial lung or massive pulmonary thromboembolic disease.
  • History of bronchiectasis secondary to respiratory diseases other than COPD (eg, cystic fibrosis, Kartagener's syndrome, etc).
