Diagnosis of COPD as defined by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society guidelines characterized by progressive airflow limitation associated with abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases primarily caused by cigarette smoking.
Have an established COPD clinical history, symptomatic with dyspnea, chronic cough, chronic sputum production or wheezing. At Visit 1, FEV1/FVC ratio must be less than 0.70 or at least 10% less than the FEV1/FVC ratio determined by the predicted normal value. FEV1 must be less than 70% of the predicted normal value and greater than 25% of the predicted normal value.
Must be using one or more inhaled bronchodilators for treatment of COPD at the time of Visit 1.
Current or former smokers, with a history of at least 10 pack-years of cigarette smoking. Number of pack-years = (number of cigarettes per day/20) X (number of years smoked).
