Summary:

      The overall objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of 52 weeks once
      daily treatment with orally inhaled tiotropium + olodaterol FDC (delivered by the RESPIMAT
      Inhaler) compared with the individual components (tiotropium, olodaterol) (delivered by the
      RESPIMAT Inhaler) in patients with COPD.
