Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:~* Male or female \>=40 and \<=80 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.~* A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of:~Non-childbearing potential defined as premenopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea (in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone \>40 milli international unit per milliliter (mIU/mL) and oestradiol \<40 picogram \[pg\]/mL \[\<147 picomole per liter (pmol/L)\] is confirmatory); females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods (i.e., in accordance with the approved product label and the instructions of the physician for the duration of the study from Screening to follow-up contact) if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrolment. For most forms of HRT, at least 2 to 4 weeks should elapse between the cessation of therapy and the blood draw; this interval depends on the type and dosage of HRT. After confirmation of their postmenopausal status, they can resume use of HRT during the study without use of a contraceptive method; child-bearing potential and is abstinent or agrees to use one of the contraception methods for an appropriate period of time (as determined by the product label or investigator) before the start of dosing to sufficiently minimise the risk of pregnancy at that point. Female subjects must agree to use contraception until at least 2 days post the last dose of study treatment; abstinence from penile-vaginal intercourse must be consistent with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject.~* COPD Diagnosis: An established clinical history of COPD in accordance with the following definition by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society.~* Severity of Disease:~A measured pre- and post-salbutamol/albuterol FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio of \<0.70 at Visit 1 (Screening and Run-in Visit) A measured pre-salbutamol/albuterol FEV1 \<50% of predicted normal values at Visit 1 (Screening and Run-in Visit).~A measured post-salbutamol/albuterol FEV1 \>=30% of predicted normal values at Visit 1 (Screening and Run-in Visit).
