Full description
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm study. The study population will consist of subjects, 35 to 75 years of age, with a diagnosis of moderate to severe COPD per Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease guidelines (GOLD, 2011). The primary analysis will compare each of the EP-101 (SUN101) dose groups to placebo with respect to the change from baseline in morning trough FEV1 on Day 29. Trough FEV1 is defined as the mean of the two FEV1 values obtained at 23 hours 30 minutes and 24 hours after Day 28 AM dose (ie, approximately 12 hours after the previous PM dose).

- Current evidence or history of clinically significant abnormal cardiac rhythm and/or conduction findings, including Holter monitoring results during the Screening Period.
- Concomitant pulmonary disease or primary diagnosis of asthma.
- History of malignancy of any organ system, treated or untreated within the past 5 years, with the exception of localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin
- Recent history of COPD exacerbation requiring hospitalization or need for increased treatments for COPD within 6 weeks prior to the Screening Period.
- Use of daily oxygen therapy > 10 hours per day.
- Use of systemic steroids within 3 months prior to the Screening Period.
- Respiratory tract infection within 6 weeks prior to or during the Screening Period.
- History of tuberculosis, bronchiectasis or other non-specific pulmonary disease.
- History of urinary retention or bladder neck obstruction type symptoms.
- History of narrow-angle glaucoma.
- Prolonged QTc interval (> 450msec for males and > 470msec for females) during the Screening Period, or history of long QT syndrome.
- Recent history (previous 12 months) of excessive use or abuse of narcotic/illegal drugs.
- History of hypersensitivity or intolerance to β2-agonists or anticholinergics.
- Participation in another investigational drug study where drug was received within 30 days prior to the Screening Period.
