Umeclidinium/vilanterol (UMEC/VI) is a combination product under development that is used for the treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with COPD. Fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (FSC) is an approved drug that is already in use for the treatment of COPD. This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of UMEC/VI 62.5/25 microgram \[mcg\] once daily administered via Novel Dry Powder Inhaler (NDPI) compared with fluticasone propionate /salmeterol (FSC) 250/50 mcg twice-daily when administered via ACCUHALER/DISKUS inhaler over a treatment period of 12 weeks in subjects with COPD. Eligible subjects will be equally randomized to UMEC/VI 62.5/25 mcg or FSC 250/50 mcg for 12 weeks. A safety follow-up assessment will be conducted approximately 7 days after the end of the study treatment.

The drug is administered via NDPI as one inhalation once daily in the morning. NDPI has two strips, each containing 30 blisters of medication. The first strip has UMEC blended with lactose and magnesium stearate in the form of dry white powder with a dosage of 62.5 mcg per blister and the second strip has VI blended with lactose and magnesium stearate in the form of dry white powder with a dosage of 25 mcg per blister.
The drug is administered via ACCUHALER/DISKUS inhaler as one inhalation each morning and evening. The inhaler contains a single strip with 60 blisters of medication. The strip has 250 mcg of fluticasone propionate and 50 mcg of salmeterol per blister in the form of dry white powder.
Placebo is administered via ACCUHALER/DISKUS inhaler as one inhalation each morning and evening. The inhaler contains 1 strip with 60 blisters of placebo in the form of dry white powder.
Placebo is administered via NDPI as one inhalation once daily in the morning. The inhaler contains 2 strips with 30 blisters of placebo per strip in the form of dry white powder.

Change From Baseline (BL) in 0 to 24 Hour Weighted Mean Forced Expiratory Volume Over 1 Second (FEV1) at Day 84
FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. The weighted mean was calculated from the pre-dose FEV1 and post-dose FEV1 measurements at 5 and 15 minutes and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 hours (pre-evening dose), 13, 15, 18, 23, and 24 hours after the morning dose. Baseline is defined as the mean of the assessments made 30 and 5 minutes (min) pre-dose on treatment Day 1. Analysis was performed using an analysis of covariance model with covariates of baseline FEV1 (mean of the two assessments made 30 mins and 5 mins pre-dose on Day 1), smoking status, and treatment. Change from baseline was calculated as the value at Day 84 minus the value at Baseline.

Change From Baseline(BL) in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) at Day 85
FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. Baseline is defined as the mean of the assessments made 30 and 5 minutes (min) pre-dose on treatment Day 1. Trough FEV1 on Day 85 is defined as the mean of the FEV1 values obtained 23 and 24 hours after morning dosing on Day 84. Analysis was performed using a repeated measures model with covariates of treatment, Baseline (mean of the 2 assessments made 30 min and 5 min pre-dose on Day 1), smoking status, day, day by baseline and day by treatment interactions. The model used all available trough FEV1 values recorded on Days 28, 56, 84, and 85. Missing data were not directly imputed in this analysis; however, all non-missing data for a participant were used within the analysis to estimate the treatment effect for trough FEV1 at Day 85. Change from baseline was calculated as the value at Day 84 minus the value at Baseline.
