- Number of Participants With Any On-treatment Adverse Event (AE) or Any Serious Adverse Event (SAE) [ Time Frame: From the start of study drug up to 52 weeks ]An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an event of possible drug-induced liver injury with hyperbilirubinaemia. Medical or scientific judgment was to have been exercised in other important medical events. AEs with an onset on or after the date of the first dose of study drug and up to 1 day after the date of the last recorded dose of study drug were considered to be on-treatment AEs, Refer to the general AE/SAE module for a complete list of AEs and SAEs.
- Number of Participants With at Least One Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbation Over the Course of the 52-week Treatment Period [ Time Frame: From the start of study drug up to 52 weeks ]A COPD exacerbation is defined as worsening symptoms of COPD requiring a systemic corticosteroid, an antibiotic, and/or hospitalization.
- Time to the First On-treatment COPD Exacerbation [ Time Frame: From the start of study drug up to 52 weeks ]An on-treatment COPD exacerbation is defined as worsening symptoms of COPD requiring a systemic corticosteroid, an antibiotic, and/or hospitalization at any time during the 52-week Treatment Period. The time to the first on-treatment exacerbation was calculated as the exacerbation onset date of the first on-treatment exacerbation minus the date of the start of treatment + 1. The median time to the first on-treatment exacerbation was derived from the Kaplan-Meier analysis. A participant who did not experience an exacerbation prior to completing the study or withdrawal is considered censored; a time to first COPD exacerbation cannot be calculated for these participants.

- Change From Baseline to Maximum Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Change From Baseline to Minimum Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) Over the Course of the 52-week Treatment Period [ Time Frame: Baseline; from the start of study drug up to 52 weeks ]Baseline is defined as the most recent recorded value before dosing on Day 1. The maximum post-Baseline value for SBP and the minimum post-Basline value for DBP were derived using any scheduled, unscheduled, or early withdrawal visit made after the start of study treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.
- Maximum Change From Baseline in Pulse Rate Over the Course of the 52-week Treatment Period [ Time Frame: Baseline; from the start of study drug up to 52 weeks ]Baseline is defined as the most recent recorded value before dosing on Day 1. The maximum post-Baseline value for pulse rate was derived using any scheduled, unscheduled, or early withdrawal visit made after the start of study treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

Baseline is defined as the most recent recorded value before dosing on Day 1. The maximum post-Baseline values for QTcF, QTcB, and PR interval were derived using any scheduled, unscheduled, or early withdrawal visit made after the start of study treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.
- Maximum Change From Baseline in the ECG Parameter of Heart Rate Over the Course of the 52-week Treatment Period [ Time Frame: Baseline; from the start of study drug up to 52 weeks ]12-lead ECG measurements were obtained. Baseline is defined as the most recent recorded value before dosing on Day 1. The maximum post-Baseline value for heart rate was derived using any scheduled, unscheduled, or early withdrawal visit made after the start of study treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.
- Number of Participants With the Indicated ECG Result Interpretations at Any Time Post-Baseline [ Time Frame: From the start of study drug up to 52 weeks ]Post-Baseline visits include scheduled, unscheduled, and Early Withdrawal visits. Only the worst-case interpretation was counted for each participant. Clinical significance and abnormal/normal findings are based on the assessment of the independent cardiologists.
- Number of Participants With the Indicated Change From Screening to Any Time Post-Baseline in Holter ECG Interpretation [ Time Frame: Screening; from the start of study drug up to 52 weeks ]Twenty-four hour Holter monitor (12-lead) evaluations were obtained. Holter Baseline values were those recorded at Screening. An "any time post-Baseline" Holter evaluation was derived as the worst evaluation recorded at any scheduled, unscheduled, or early withdrawal visit made after the start of study treatment. Change from Screening was calculated as the post-Screening value minus the Screening value. The order of severity for change from Screening Holter evaluation from worst to best is: clinically significant change: unfavorable; no change or insignificant change; clinically significant change: favorable, unable to compare, based on the assessment of the independent cardiologists.
- Change From Baseline in the Mean Number of Puffs of Rescue Medication (Salbutamol and/or Ipratropium Bromide) Per Day Over the Course of the 52-week Treatment Period [ Time Frame: Baseline; from the start of study drug up to 52 weeks ]Participants recorded the number of puffs and/or the number of nebules of rescue albuterol/salbutamol and/or ipratropium bromide used in the past 24 hours for the relief of COPD symptoms in the daily diary. The total puffs of rescue medication for each day was calculated as follows: (number of salbutamol puffs + number of ipratropium puffs + [2 * number of salbutamol nebules] + [2 * number of ipratropium nebules]). Baseline is the mean during the week prior to Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the mean number of puffs/day over Weeks 1-52 minus the mean number of puffs/day at Baseline. Analysis was performed using an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with covariates of treatment, Baseline (mean during the week prior to Day 1), smoking status, and center group.
- Change From Baseline in the Percentage of Rescue-free Days Over the Course of the 52-week Treatment Period [ Time Frame: From the start of study drug up to 52 weeks ]Rescue-free days are defined as days on which albuterol/salbutamol and/or ipratropium bromide was not used. Baseline is the percentage during the week prior to Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the mean percentage of rescue-free days over Weeks 1-52 minus the mean percentage of rescue-free days at Baseline.
- Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 ]FEV1 and FVC are measures of lung function. FEV1 is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. FVC is defined as the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. Trough FEV1 and FVC were the values obtained approximately 24 hours after the previous morning's dose of study medication. Baseline is the value recorded pre-dose on Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Analysis was performed using a repeated measures model with covariates of treatment, Baseline (assessment made immediately pre-dose on Day 1), smoking status, center group, month, and month by Baseline and month by treatment interactions.
