Title: A 24-Week Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fluticasone Furoate (FF)/GW642444 Inhalation Powder and the Individual Components Delivered Once Daily (AM) Via a Novel Dry Powder Inhaler Compared With Placebo in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Brief Summary: The Purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of two strengths of the FF/GW642444 Inhalation Powder in subject with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
