4. Clinically significant respiratory conditions.
5. Patients with Type I or uncontrolled Type II diabetes, uncontrolled hypo-or hyperthyroidism, hypokalaemia, or hyperadrenergic state, uncontrolled or untreated hypertension.
6. Patients who in the investigator's opinion may need to start a pulmonary rehabilitation program during the study and/or patients who started/finished it within 3 months prior to Screening Visit.
7. Use of long-term oxygen therapy (15 hours/day).
8. Patient who does not maintain regular day/night, waking/sleeping cycles including night shift workers.
9. Clinically significant cardiovascular conditions.
10. QTc (calculated according to Fridericia's formulae [QTc=QT/RR1/3]) above 470 milliseconds in the manual ECG reading performed at Screening Visit.
11. Patient with clinically relevant abnormalities in the opinion of the investigator at the Screening Visit (Visit 1) in the results of the clinical laboratory tests, ECG parameters or in the physical examination.
12. Patient with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to inhaled anticholinergics, long and short acting β2-agonists, sympathomimetic amines, or inhaled medication or any component there of (including report of paradoxical bronchospasm).
13. Patient with known narrow-angle glaucoma, symptomatic bladder neck obstruction, acute urinary retention, or patients with symptomatic non-stable prostatic hypertrophy.
14. Patient with known non-controlled history of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or active hepatitis.
15. History of malignancy of any organ system (including lung cancer), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years other than basal or squamous cell skin cancer.
16. Patient with any other serious or uncontrolled physical or mental dysfunction, or moderate to severe depression, as confirmed by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) total score >28.
17. Patient with a history (within 2 years prior to the Screening Visit) of drug and/or alcohol abuse that may prevent study compliance based on investigator judgment.
18. Patient unlikely to be cooperative or that can't comply with the study procedures.
19. Patient treated with any investigational drug within 30 days (or 6 half-lives, whichever is longer) prior to the Screening Visit.
20. Patient who intends to use any concomitant medication not permitted by this protocol or who have not undergone the required stabilization periods for prohibited medication.
21. Any other conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, might indicate the patient to be unsuitable for the study.
