Aclidinium bromide 400 µg administered twice per day during 6 weeks of treatment
|
Drug: Aclidinium bromide
Dosage form: Dry powder. Route of administration: Oral inhalation by Genuair multidose dry powder inhaler Dose and regimen: 1 puff of 400 micrograms in the morning (09:00 ± 1h) and in the evening (21:00 ± 1h) |
Active Comparator: Tiotropium
Tiotropium bromide 18 µg administered once per day during 6 weeks of treatment
|
Drug: Tiotropium
Dosage form: Dry powder hard gelatin capsule. Route of administration: Oral inhalation by HandiHaler single-dose dry powder inhaler Dose and regimen: 1 capsule (18 μg) in the morning (09:00 ± 1h) |
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Placebo comparator administered during 6 weeks of treatment
|
Drug: Placebo
Dosage form: Dry powder Route of administration: Oral inhalation by Genuair multidose dry powder inhaler. 1 puff of placebo in the morning (09:00 ± 1h) and 1 puff in the evening (21:00 ± 1h) AND Oral inhalation by HandiHaler single-dose dry powder inhaler. 1 puff of placebo in the morning (09:00 ± 1h). |
- Change From Baseline in Normalised Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Area Under the Curve Over the 24-h Period After 6 Weeks of Treatment [ Time Frame: Week 6 ]Change from baseline in normalised FEV1 area under the curve over the 24-h period immediately after morning Investigational Medicinal Product administration (AUC0-24h ) after 6 weeks on treatment. The normalised AUC were calculated by means of a trapezoidal method, dividing by the corresponding time interval.
- Change From Baseline in Normalised FEV1 Area Under the Curve Over the 12-h Night-time Period After 6 Weeks of Treatment [ Time Frame: Week 6 ]Change from baseline in normalised FEV1 area under the curve over the 12-h night-time period (AUC12-24) after 6 weeks of treatment. The normalised AUC were calculated by means of a trapezoidal method, dividing by the corresponding time interval.
