Study Summary

The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether daily treatment with tiotropium (Spiriva®, Bromuro de Tiotropio®) inhalation capsule via HandiHaler® reduces the rate of decline in lung function over time in patients with COPD.

Primary Outcome

Rate of decline of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) measured before the use of bronchodilators. A negative rate of decline indicates decreasing FEV1 over time, while a positive value indicates increasing FEV1.
