eligible ages (years): 40.0-80.0, Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive 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). Predicted values will be calculated using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III reference equations Tobacco Use: Current or prior history of at least 10 pack-years of cigarette smoking (e.g., 20 cigarettes/day for 10 years). One pack-year is defined as 20 manufactured cigarettes (1 pack) smoked per day for 1 year. Former smokers are defined as those who have stopped smoking for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1 (Screening and Run-in Visit). Former smokers are eligible to enter the study provided they have at least 10 pack-years smoking history. Subjects making a conscious decision to stop smoking at any time during the study and who refrain from smoking for >4 weeks will be discontinued from the study. Additionally, subjects who start smoking during the study and smoke for at least 7 consecutive days will be discontinued from the study Dyspnoea: A score of >=2 on the Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnoea Scale (mMRC) at Visit 1 (Screening and Run-in Visit) Liver Safety Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <=2 the upper limit of normal (ULN), alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin <=1.5 ULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5 ULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin is <35%) at Visit 1 (Screening and Run-in Visit) Electrocardiogram (ECG) Safety The subject must have no ECG abnormalities that would, in the opinion of investigator, compromise subject safety, or significantly affect subject's ability to complete the trial. As such the investigator will determine the clinical significance of any ECG abnormality and determine if a subject is precluded from entering the study. At Visit 1 (Screening and Run-in Visit), ECG safety must be: QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) or QT interval corrected for heart rate according to Fridericia formula (QTcF) <450 milliseconds (msec) or QTc <480 msec for subjects with a bundle branch block. Investigators will be responsible for ensuring appropriate clinical interpretation of ECGs Able to use the inhaler devices adequately after training A current diagnosis of asthma Any clinically significant and uncontrolled disease, including but not limited to the following: neurological, psychiatric, renal, immunological, endocrine/metabolic (including uncontrolled diabetes, hypokalaemia or thyroid disease), cardiovascular, neuromuscular, hepatic, gastric, or haematological abnormalities, or peripheral vascular disease. Significant is defined as any disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the safety of the subject at risk or would affect the efficacy analysis if the disease/condition exacerbated during the study A respiratory diagnosis other than COPD (e.g., lung cancer, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lung fibrosis), including subjects with a diagnosis of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency. Allergic rhinitis is not exclusionary An abnormal and clinically significant chest X-ray film or computed tomography scan not believed to be a result of the presence of COPD. A chest X-ray must be taken if the subject has not had 1 within 6 months of Visit 1 (Screening and Run in Visit) Lung resection surgery (e.g., lung volume reduction surgery, or lobectomy) within 1 year of Visit 1 (Screening and Run-in Visit) A COPD exacerbation and/or infection of the upper or lower respiratory tract requiring treatment with systemic (oral or parenteral) corticosteroids and/or antibiotics that has not resolved within 30 days of Visit 1 (Screening and Run-in Visit) A COPD exacerbation that resulted in hospitalisation that has not resolved within 3 months of Visit 1 (Screening and Run-in Visit) Use of nocturnal-positive pressure (e.g., continuous positive airway pressure or bilevel positive airway pressure) Oropharyngeal Examination: A subject will not be eligible for the Run-in Period if he/she has clinical visual evidence of candidiasis at Visit 1 (Screening and Run-in Visit) An abnormal and clinically significant 12-lead ECG result. For the purposes of this study, an abnormal ECG result is defined as a 12-lead tracing that is interpreted as demonstrating (but not limited to) any of the following: Myocardial ischemia, clinically significant conduction abnormalities (e.g., left bundle branch block, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome), clinically significant arrhythmias (e.g., atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia). The study investigator will determine the clinical significance of any ECG abnormality and determine if a subject is precluded from entering the study

eligible ages (years): 40.0-999.0, Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive COPD diagnosis and severity: Participants with a clinical history of COPD (established by a physician) in accordance with the following definition by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society, for at least 6 months prior to enrolment. Participants must have evidence of airflow obstruction, defined as post-bronchodilator FEV1 equal to or less than 80% of predicted normal value calculated using "Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey" (NHANES III) reference equation at Visit 1 and a FEV1 / FVC ratio <=70% at Screening (Visit 1). Note: Post-bronchodilator spirometry will be performed approximately 10-15 minutes after the participants has self-administered 4 inhalations (i.e., total 400/360 [microgram] mcg) of salbutamol/albuterol via a Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) (use of spacer will be optional). The study-provided central spirometry equipment will calculate the FEV1/FVC ratio and FEV1 percent predicted values Exacerbation History: A documented history (e.g., medical record verification) in the 12 months prior to Visit 1 of >=2 COPD exacerbations resulting in prescription for antibiotics and/or oral corticosteroids or hospitalisation or extended observation in a hospital emergency room or outpatient centre. Note: Prior use of antibiotics alone does not qualify as a moderate exacerbation unless the use was specifically for the treatment of worsening symptoms of COPD Existing COPD maintenance treatment: Participants must be receiving daily maintenance treatment for their COPD for at least 3 months prior to Screening. Notes: Participants receiving only "pro re nata" or as needed (PRN) COPD medications are not eligible for in the study. All participants will continue on their current Standard of Care (SoC) COPD medications throughout the entire duration of the study Tobacco use: Participants with a current or prior history of >=10 pack-years of cigarette smoking at Screening (Visit 1). Former smokers are defined as those who have stopped smoking for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1. One pack year =20 cigarettes smoked per day for 1 year or the equivalent. Number of pack years=(number of cigarettes per day/20) x number of years smoked Sex: Male or female participants aged >=40 years at Screening (Visit 1). A female participant is eligible to participate if she is of non-child bearing potential defined as pre-menopausal 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 (FSH) >40 milli-international unit/milliliter (MIU/mL) and estradiol <40 picogram/milliliter (pg/mL) (<140 [Picomoles per liter] pmol/L) is confirmatory] or if of child-bearing potential is using a highly effective method for avoidance of pregnancy from 30 days before the first dose, for the duration of dosing and until 2 weeks post last-dose Capable of giving written informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form Corrected ECG QT interval (QTc)<450 milliseconds(msec) or QTc<480 msec for participants with bundle branch block. The QTc is the QT interval corrected for heart rate according to either Bazett's formula (QTcB), Fridericia's formula (QTcF), or another method, machine or manual over-read. For and withdrawal, ideally the same QT correction formula will be used for all participants. However, because this is not always possible, the same QT correction formula will be used for each individual participant to determine for and withdrawal from the study. The QTc will be based on single or averaged QTc values of triplicate ECGs obtained over a brief recording period Eosinophils: >2.0% blood eosinophils at Screening (Visit 1) Concomitant medication: COPD Medication: Participants currently on chronic treatment with macrolides or Roflumilast; Long term oxygen therapy (LTOT) or nocturnal oxygen therapy required for greater than 12 hours a day. Oxygen PRN use (i.e. <=12 hours per day) is not exclusionary. Multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) transporter 1 (MATE1) inhibitors: cimetidine, pyrimethamine, trimethoprim (short course treatment with trimethoprim is allowed). Other medications: Chronic maintenance therapy with anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (anti-TNF), anti-Interleukin-1 (anti-IL1), phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) inhibitors, or any other immunosuppressive therapy (not including steroids) within 60 days prior to dosing. Any other investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half lives, whichever is longer prior to Screening Visit Other respiratory disorders: Participants with asthma (as primary diagnosis) lung cancer, bronchiectasis, active sarcoidosis, active lung fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, active interstitial lung diseases or other active pulmonary diseases. Participants with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency as the underlying cause of COPD Participants with clinically significant sleep apnea who require use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device Participants who require a non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) device (Note: Use of non invasive ventilation (NIV) in hospital as part of the medical management of an acute exacerbation is permitted.) Lung resection: Participants who have undergone previous lung reduction surgery (e.g. lobectomy, pneumonectomy, or lung volume reduction) COPD stability: Less than 30 days prior to Visit 1 have elapsed from completion of a course of antibiotics or oral corticosteroids for a recent COPD exacerbation Evidence of pneumonia or a clinically significant abnormality not believed to be due to the presence of COPD on chest X-ray (posteroanterior with lateral) or computerised tomography (CT) scan (historic data up to 1 year may be used) Pulmonary rehabilitation program: Participation in the acute phase of a pulmonary rehabilitation program within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1. Participants who are in the maintenance phase of a pulmonary rehabilitation program are not excluded Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >2x Upper limits of normal (ULN) and bilirubin >1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%)
