Adding a long-acting beta(2)-agonist (LABA) by dry powder inhaler (DPI) to tiotropium provides significantly increased and sustained bronchodilation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients over either product alone. To demonstrate similar benefits with a nebulized LABA, a placebo-controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of formoterol fumarate inhalation solution in subjects receiving tiotropium as a maintenance treatment for COPD.After a 7-14-day screening period using tiotropium 18 mu g once daily, subjects with diagnosed COPD (>= 25% to
