Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to further figure out differences of glycopyrronium bromide compared to tiotropium in early bronchodilation measured by a comprehensive assessment of lung function that includes hyperinflation and specific airway resistance in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
