Evaluation of the Long- Term Effects of Spiriva on Lung Function in COPD Patients

Summary

The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether daily treatment with tiotropium (Spiriva®, Bromuro de Tiotropio®) inhalation capsule via HandiHaler® reduces the rate of decline in lung function over time in patients with COPD.
