  Part 2
  -  Subject with a diagnosis of COPD for at least 1 year and FEV1 ≥65% of predicted value post bronchodilation (measurement 30 minutes after 400 mcg salbutamol administration) and FEV1/FVC of <70%.
  -  Subject of either sex and of any race between the age of 40 and 65 years, with a BMI between 19 and 32.
  -  Subject must be active or exsmoker (cigarettes, cigars and/or pipes).
