Clinical Trial Summary

This is a double-blind randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of perioperative dual bronchodilator therapy on post-operative pulmonary function and health-related quality of life (QoL) in mild-to-moderate less symptomatic COPD patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.

Investigators hypothesized that dual bronchodilator, as compared with placebo, would prevent reduction of pulmonary function after surgical resection and improve postoperative health related QoL.

• Abnormal and clinically significant 12-Lead Eletrocardiogram (ECG): subjects with abnormal and clinically significant ECG findings (Significant is defined as any disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would put the safety of the subject at risk through participation, or which would affect the efficacy or safety analysis if the disease/condition exacerbated during the study.)

• Contraindications: subjects with a history of allergy or hypersensitivity to any Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonist (LAMA), Long-Acting Beta-Agonist (LABA), lactose/milk protein, stearic magnesium, with generic problems including galactose intolerance, Lapp lactose deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption, or with contraindication of inhaled anticholinergic-containing drugs

• Mobility: subjects who are not able to walk independently without mobility assistance or other people
