You may not qualify if…
- Patients with a significant disease other than COPD
- Patients with clinically relevant abnormal baseline haematology, blood chemistry, or urinalysis;
- Patients with a history of asthma or a total blood eosinophil count >= 600/mm3.
- Patients with any of the following conditions:a diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis, a diagnosis of paroxysmal tachycardia (>100 beats per minute), a marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (e.g. repeated demonstration of a QTcF* interval > 450 ms), a history of additional risk factors for Torsade de Pointes (TdP) (e.g. heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT Syndrome)
- Patients with any of the following conditions:a history of myocardial infarction within 1 year of screening visit (Visit 1), a diagnosis of clinically relevant cardiac arrhythmia, known active tuberculosis, a malignancy for which patient has undergone resection, radiation therapy or chemotherapy within last five years, a history of life-threatening pulmonary obstruction, a history of cystic fibrosis, clinically evident bronchiectasis, a history of significant alcohol or drug abuse
- Patients who have undergone thoracotomy with pulmonary resection
- Patients who regularly use daytime oxygen therapy for more than one hour per day and in the investigator's opinion will be unable to abstain from the use of oxygen therapy during clinic visits.
