Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an investigator-sponsored research study to evaluate if treatment with HFA-134a beclomethasone (QVAR) has an effect on peripheral (or outer) airway inflammation and airway "remodeling" or scarring in subjects with COPD. Approximately 20 subjects with COPD will participate for approximately 7 weeks, with 10 receiving an active (BDP) inhaler with HFA-134a and 10 receiving a placebo.
