This is a multiple dose, randomized, parallel, double-blind, double-dummy, multicenter and multinational Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of Aclidinium bromide 400μg/Formoterol Fumarate (AB/FF) 12 μg compared to individual components and TIO (Tiotropium) 18 μg when administered to patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
This study was conducted to assess the bronchodilator efficacy and safety as well as effect on health related quality of life of AB/FF 400/12 μg compared to the individual components (AB 400 μg and FF 12 μg) in COPD patients. The trial duration of 24 weeks allows the assessment of the effect on symptoms improvement of the combined treatments versus individual components as well as the long term bronchodilation comparison between AB 400 μg and TIO 18 μg in minimizing the risk of COPD exacerbations in current or former smokers, aged ≥40 in symptomatic COPD patients.

Change From Baseline in 1-hour Morning Post-dose Dose Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) of AB/FF 400/12 μg Compared to AB 400 μg at Week 24
To assess the bronchodilatory effect by evaluating the mean changes from baseline in FEV1 at 1 hour post-dose of AB/FF 400/12 µg compared to AB 400 μg after administration of oral inhalation powder BID via DIP to participants with COPD. Baseline was defined as the average of the two FEV1 values measured just prior to the administration of the first dose of investigational product (IP) at randomization Visit. If one of the two was missing, then the available one would be used as baseline value.
Time frame: At baseline 1-hour postdose and Week 24
Change From Baseline in Morning Predose (Trough) FEV1 of AB/FF 400/12 μg Compared to FF 12 μg at Week 24
To assess the bronchodilatory effect by evaluating the mean changes from baseline in FEV1 in morning pre-dose (trough) of AB/FF 400/12 µg compared to FF 12 μg after administration of oral inhalation powder BID via DPI to participants with COPD. Morning pre-dose (trough) FEV1 was defined as the average of the corresponding -30 minute and 0 minute before the morning study medication at Week 24. If one time-point was missing then the available one would be used as morning pre-dose.
Time frame: At baseline morning predose and Week 24
Change From Baseline in Morning Predose (Trough) FEV1 at Week 24 Comparing AB 400 μg Versus TIO 18 μg to Demonstrate Non-inferiority
To assess the non-inferior bronchodilatory effect by evaluating the mean changes from baseline in FEV1 in morning pre-dose (trough)of AB 400 µg compared to TIO 18 μg after administration of oral inhalation powder BID via DPI to participants with COPD.
Time frame: At baseline morning predose and Week 24
Change From Baseline in Normalized Area Under Curve 3hours Post-dose (nAUC0-3/3h) FEV1 of AB/FF 400/12 μg Compared to AB 400 μg and and FF 12 μg at Week 24
To assess the bronchodilatory effect by evaluating the mean changes from baseline in nAUC0-3/3h FEV1 of AB/FF 400/12 µg compared to AB 400 μg and and FF 12 μg after administration of oral inhalation powder BID via DPI to participants with COPD.

Responder (Number of Participants) Analysis of St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score With AB/FF 400/12 μg Versus AB 400 μg and FF 12 μg.
SGRQ was a A standardized self-completed tool used to measure impaired health and perceived well-being ("quality of life") in respiratory diseases. The questionnaire contained 50 items divided into 3 (symptoms, activity and impacts) dimensions. Each of the three dimensions of the questionnaire is scored separately in the range from 0 to 100%, zero score indicating no impairment of life quality. A summary score utilizing responses to all items is the total SGRQ score which also ranges from 0 to 100%. The SGRQ scores are calculated using weights attached to each item of the questionnaire which provides an estimate of the distress associated with the symptoms or state described in each item. Higher scores indicate poorer health. A decrease of at least 4 units in the SGRQ total score has been established as the criterion for minimal meaningful improvement. SGRQ responders will be those with a decrease in SGRQ total score of at least 4 units from baseline.
Time frame: At baseline and Week 24
