1. Females who are pregnant or lactating at the Screening Visit, or if of childbearing potential not using one of the following acceptable means of birth control throughout the study: a.

(Periodic abstinence [e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not considered acceptable methods of contraception). e. Bilateral tubal ligation Females are considered to be of childbearing potential unless either: a. Permanently sterilised (e.g. bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy) or; b. Postmenopausal (i.e. spontaneous amenorrhoea for at least 2 years) 2. Current evidence or recent history of any clinically significant disease (other than COPD) or abnormality in the opinion of the Investigator that would put the subject at risk or which would compromise the quality of the study data; including but not limited to cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, cardiac failure, uncontrolled hypertension, life-threatening arrhythmias, uncontrolled diabetes, neurologic or neuromuscular disease, liver disease, gastrointestinal disease or electrolyte abnormalities 3.

Need for increased treatments of COPD within six weeks prior to the Screening Visit or randomisation 5. Primary diagnosis of asthma 6. Prior lung volume reductions surgery or history of chest/lung irradiation 7. Regular use of daily oxygen therapy 8. Use of systemic steroids within three months prior to the Screening Visit or during the run-in period 9. Respiratory tract infection within six weeks prior to the Screening Visit. Respiratory tract infections acquired during the run-in period will be assessed by the Investigator to determine suitability to continue in the study. 10. History of tuberculosis, bronchiectasis or other non-specific pulmonary disease 11. History of urinary retention or bladder neck obstructive type symptoms 12. History of narrow-angle glaucoma 13. Clinically significant abnormal ECG 14. Positive Hepatitis B antigen or positive Hepatitis C antibody 15. Positive screening test for HIV antibodies 16. Current evidence or history of excessive use or abuse of alcohol in the opinion of the Investigator 17. Current evidence or history of abusing legal drugs or use of illegal drugs or substances in the opinion of the Investigator 18. Donation of 450 ml or more of blood within eight weeks of the Screening Visit 19. History of hypersensitivity or intolerance to aerosol medications 20. Participation in another investigational drug study where drug was received within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit. 21. Inability to comply with study procedures or with study treatment intake, including inability to be trained and/or inability to demonstrate good inhaler technique with Vitalograph AIM® |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
To establish the dose-response characteristics of PSX1002-GB pMDI over 24 hours as demonstrated by changes in forced expiratory volumes in one second (FEV1)
The primary efficacy endpoint will be FEV1 time-adjusted AUC(0-24 hours).
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Spirometry (FEV1): pre-dose, 5 and 15, 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 20, 22, 24, and 26 hours post-dose.
|
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary efficacy endpoints are FEV1 time-adjusted AUC(0-12 hours), FEV1 time-adjusted AUC(12-24 hours) and serial FEV1 time-points. FVC will be analysed as described for FEV1. FEV1/FVC will be analysed using descriptive statistics. Safety: The safety parameters that will be evaluated include spontaneous adverse events, clinical examination findings, serial pulmonary flow measures, serial electrocardiogram, and clinical laboratory findings. Pharmacokinetics: The PK parameters to be evaluated for plasma glycopyrronium bromide are maximum concentration (Cmax), time to maximum concentration (Tmax), terminal elimination half-life (T1/2), area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time = 0 to time of last measurable drug concentration (AUC0-t), area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time = 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf, total plasma clearance after extravascular administration (CL/F) and apparent volume of distribution after extravascular administration (Vz/F). |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Spirometry (FVC): pre-dose, 5 and 15, 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 20, 22, 24, and 26 hours post-dose. Pharmacokinetic samples will be obtained at 30 minutes prior to dosing, 5, 15, 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hour post-dose. Vital signs and 12-lead electrocardiogram will be obtained at pre-dose and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hour post-dose. Clinical labs will be obtained at Screening Visit and 7-14 days after the last study treatment (Safety Follow-up Visit). |
