A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Evaluation of the Effect of the Combination of Umeclidinium and Vilanterol on Exercise Endurance Time in Subjects With COPD

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-period, complete block
design cross-over study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of UMEC/VI 62.5/25 microgram (mcg) on EET
as measured by the Endurance Shuttle Walk Test (ESWT) compared to placebo. Additionally, the
effect of UMEC/VI compared to placebo on lung function and lung volumes in COPD patients will
be characterized.

Approximately 298 participants will be screened and, assuming 35% of these will not be
eligible for randomization; approximately 194 participants will be randomized.

Eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to one of 2 treatment sequences. In sequence 1
participants will receive UMEC/VI 62.5/25 mcg in Treatment Period 1 and placebo in Treatment
Period 2. In sequence 2 participants will receive placebo in Treatment Period 1 and UMEC/VI
62.5/25 mcg in Treatment Period 2. Treatments will be delivered once-daily via a dry powder
inhaler (DPI). Each treatment period will be for 12 weeks and will be separated by a wash out
period of 12-17 days. The total duration of patient participation, including the Follow-Up
will be approximately 30 weeks. All participants will be provided with albuterol for use on
an "as needed (prn)" basis throughout the run-in, washout and study treatment periods while
on investigational product.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Type of participant: Outpatient.

- Informed Consent: A signed and dated written informed consent prior to study
participation.

- Age: 40 years of age or older at Visit 1.

- Gender: Male or female participants. A female is eligible to enter and participate in
the study if she is of: Non-child bearing potential (i.e. physiologically incapable of
becoming pregnant, including any female who is post-menopausal or surgically sterile).
Surgically sterile females are defined as those with a documented hysterectomy and/or
bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation. Post-menopausal females are defined as being
amenorrhoeic for greater than 1 year with an appropriate clinical profile, e.g. age
appropriate, >45 years, in the absence of hormone replacement therapy. OR Child
bearing potential, has a negative pregnancy test at screening, and agrees to one of
the following acceptable contraceptive methods used consistently and correctly (i.e.
in accordance with the approved product label and the instructions of the physician
for the duration of the study - screening to follow-up contact): Abstinence; Oral
Contraceptive, either combined or progestogen alone; Injectable progestogen; Implants
of levonorgestrel; Estrogenic vaginal ring; Percutaneous contraceptive patches;
Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) that meets the standard
operating procedures (SOP); effectiveness criteria as stated in the product label;
Male partner sterilization (vasectomy with documentation of azoospermia) prior to the
female participant's entry into the study, and this male is the sole partner for that
subject. For this definition, "documented" refers to the outcome of the
investigator's/designee's medical examination of the participant or review of the
participant's medical history for study eligibility, as obtained via a verbal
interview with the participant or from the participant's medical records; Double
barrier method: condom and an occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with a
vaginal spermicidal agent (foam/gel/film/cream/suppository)

- Diagnosis: A diagnosis of COPD in accordance with the definition by the American
Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society

- Smoking History: Current or former cigarette smokers with a history of cigarette
smoking of >=10 pack-years (number of pack years =[number of cigarettes per day /20] x
number of years smoked [e.g., 20 cigarettes per day for 10 years, or 10 cigarettes per
day for 20 years]). Former smokers are defined as those who have stopped smoking for
at least 6 months prior to Visit 1.

- Severity of Disease: A pre- and post-albuterol Forced Expiratory Volume in One
Second/Forced Vital Capacity (FEV1/FVC) ratio of <0.70 and a postalbuterol FEV1 of
>=30% and <=70% of predicted normal values

- Dyspnea: A score of >=2 on the Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC)
at Visit 1.

- Resting Lung Volumes: A resting FRC of >=120% of predicted normal FRC at Visit 1.
Predicted values for FRC will be obtained using predicted normal values

Exclusion Criteria:

- Pregnancy: Women who are pregnant or lactating or are planning on becoming pregnant
during the study.

- Asthma: A current diagnosis of asthma.

- Other Respiratory Disorders Known alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, active lung
infections (such as tuberculosis), and lung cancer in remission for <5 years are
absolute exclusionary conditions. A participant who, in the opinion of the
investigator, has any other significant respiratory conditions in addition to COPD
should be excluded. Examples may include clinically significant bronchiectasis,
pulmonary hypertension, sarcoidosis, or interstitial lung disease. Allergic rhinitis
is not exclusionary.

- Other Diseases/Abnormalities: Any participant who is considered unlikely to survive
the duration of the study period or has any rapidly progressing disease or immediate
life-threatening illness (e.g. cancer). In addition, any participant who has any
condition besides COPD that is likely to affect respiratory function or the ability to
perform exercise testing such as peripheral vascular disease should not be included in
the study.

- Severe Hepatic Impairment: Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class
C) should be excluded unless, in the opinion of the investigator, the benefit is
likely to outweigh the risk.

- Unstable or life threatening cardiac disease: Umeclidinium/vilanterol should be used
with caution in participants with severe cardiovascular disease. In the opinion of the
investigator, use should only be considered if the benefit is likely to outweigh the
risk in conditions such as: Myocardial infarction or unstable angina in the last 6
months; Unstable or life threatening cardiac arrhythmia requiring intervention in the
last 3 months; New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV heart failure

- Contraindications: Any history of allergy or hypersensitivity to any
anticholinergic/muscarinic receptor antagonist, beta2-agonist, sympathomimetic,
lactose/milk protein or magnesium stearate.

glaucoma, urinary retention, prostatic hypertrophy, or bladder neck obstruction should
only be included if, in the opinion of the study physician, the benefit outweighs the
risk.

participants who would be at undue risk by participating in the trial. Participants
with the following abnormalities are excluded from participation in the study: Atrial
fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate >120 beats per minute (bpm); Sustained or
nonsustained ventricular tachycardia; Second degree heart block Mobitz type II and
