Brief Summary

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

This is a 52-week treatment, multi-center, randomized, open label, parallel group study to assess the long term safety and tolerability of once-daily QVA149 (indacaterol and NVA237 (\[glycopyrronium bromide\]) using tiotropium as an active control in Japanese patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
