Summary:
Do you have COPD? COPD can cause daily activities to become difficult. As the disease progresses, even simple tasks such as walking up and down stairs can cause a person to become breathless and feel a strong need for air. Many people with COPD are also at risk for heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease.
This clinical research study is being conducted worldwide to test the long-term benefits of the study drug versus placebo in reducing lung and heart complications.
