Korábbi kezelés

• The Investigator must judge that COPD is the primary diagnosis accounting for the clinical manifestations of lung disease, and clinical manifestations of lung disease where primary diagnosis is not COPD are excluded
  • Participants with a current or prior physician diagnosis of asthma
  • Participants with childhood asthma are permitted, provided that childhood asthma has resolved before 18 years of age and has not recurred
• COPD severity: Participants with more than one moderate exacerbation or severe exacerbation in the past 12 months prior to Visit 1
• COPD stability: Participants with pneumonia, COPD exacerbation, or lower respiratory tract infection within the 4 weeks prior to Visit 1
• Pulmonary rehabilitation: Participants in the acute phase of a pulmonary rehabilitation program within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1

Más betegség

• Other clinically significant lung disease: The Investigator must judge that COPD is the primary diagnosis accounting for the clinical manifestations of the lung disease.
• Lung resection: Participants with a history of, or plan for lung volume reduction surgery/endobronchial valve procedure
