Study summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate 5 doses of RPL554 and placebo, administered by pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI), in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Read the detailed description

The study will consist of two parts. Part A is a parallel group, placebo-controlled single dose study to ascertain the Pharmacokinetics (PK) profile, safety and bronchodilator effect of a single dose of RPL554 administered via pMDI. Five of the 6 treatment arms will be double-blind and one will be single-blind (due to the different number of capsules administered). Part B is a 7-day placebo-controlled, complete block cross-over, repeat dose study to assess the bronchodilator effect of repeat doses of RPL554 delivered via pMDI.
