A 12-Week Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol Inhalation Powder (FF/VI) 100/25 mcg Once Daily Compared With Vilanterol Inhalation Powder (VI) 25 mcg Once Daily in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

This is a Phase IIIa, multicenter, randomized, stratified (reversibility status), double-blind, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FF/VI 100/25 micrograms (mcg) once daily (QD) compared with VI 25 mcg QD, administered in the morning via the ELLIPTA™ inhaler. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the contribution on lung function (as measured by trough forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV1]) of FF 100 mcg to the FF/VI 100/25 mcg QD combination by comparison of the latter with VI 25 mcg QD and the safety of FF/VI 100/25 mcg over a 12-week treatment period in subjects with COPD.
