Brief Summary

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

* Primary objective is to evaluate time to onset of effect of formoterol, 9 μg single dose,compared with salmeterol, 50 μg single dose, in patients with moderate COPD.Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) measured by spirometry 5 minutes postdose.
* Secondary efficacy variables: Average FEV1 during the first 15 minutes (area under the FEV1 curve from 0 to 15 minutes), Average FEV1 during 120 minutes (area under the FEV1 curve from 0 to 120 minutes)
