Participant Flow

A total of 126 patients were randomized to one of the two treatment sequences in a ratio of 1:1. Due to misrandomization, two patients did not receive at least one dose of the study treatment. Both, safety and ITT population included 124 patients.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1

Population: The intention-to-treat (ITT) population consisted of all randomized patients who received at least one dose of the study treatment and had at least one post-dose value of FEV1

Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) Area Under the Curve (AUC) will measured via spirometry and calculated from 0 to 4 hours post-dose on day 1 of study treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: day 1 (baseline) and week 4

Population: The intention-to-treat (ITT) population consisted of all randomized patients who received at least one dose of the study treatment and had at least one post-dose value of FEV1

Comparison of symptoms outcome between glycopyrronium QD versus tiotropium QD will be conducted via the PROMorning COPD Symptoms questionnaire. This questionnaire will be completed by participants at waking-up, pre-inhalation of study treatment (at home), and they will complete Part 2 of PRO-Morning COPD Symptoms questionnaire at site, 3hours post-inhalation of study treatment. The PRO-Morning COPD Symptoms Questionnaire is a self-administered patient reported outcome (PRO) instrument developed by the sponsor to evaluate patients' experience of early morning symptoms of COPD. The questionnaire consists of two parts : predose and postdose. Each part has 6 questions and for each question a scale of 0 to 10 can be reached. For the predose and postdose part of the questionnaire you will have then each a total score of 0-60 by adding the sub-scores for each question, higher scores represent worse severity of COPD morning symptoms
