3 , BA 679 BR Criteria for evaluation: Efficacy: Safety: Statistical methods: SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS: Efficacy results: Constant work rate exercise endurance time, exertional dyspnea during constant work rate exercise, inspiratory capacity during constant work rate exercise, spirometric parameters (FEV 1, FVC, SVC), body plethysmographic parameters (TGV(FRC), IC, TLC, RV, R aw, SG aw ), single breath inert gas dilution parameters (V A ), COPD symptom scores, Physician Global Assessment, rescue medication use Adverse events, physical examination, ECGs, vital signs ANCOVA with baseline as covariate The primary endpoint for the trial was the endurance time (ET) during a constant work rate cycle ergometry test performed 2 hours and 15 minutes after trial medication administration on Day 42 of treatment. The results of the pre-specified primary parametric treatment comparison for ET (sec, imputed), based on an ANCOVA model with terms treatment and centre and using baseline as a covariate, are presented below: Placebo Difference N AdjMean (SE) N AdjMean (SE) AdjMean (SE) P-value (95% CI) d # 534.9# d0 2h15m post (24.0) (25.4) 70.7 (35.1) (1.5, 139.9) d21 2h15m post (35.0) (37.1) (51.2) (127.1, 328.9) d42 2h15m post (39.5) (41.8) (57.7) (122.0, 349.3) d42 8h post (39.7) (42.0) (57.9) (57.0, 285.3) #: common mean across groups at day -5 (baseline) Source Data: Appendix StatDoc 6.1.2; Program=tETmain; 03APR03 Skewness was observed throughout the trial for ET and was generally more apparent in the tiotropium group. In addition, two outliers were evident in the tiotropium group for ET at Day 42, 2 hours 15 minutes post-dose (ET >3,000 seconds). These observations suggested that a non-parametric analysis of ET would be a more appropriate analysis. The results of a

4 , BA 679 BR non-parametric analysis of change in ET from baseline (Wilcoxon Rank Sum test stratified by Investigator) is presented below: Treatment N Mean SD Med P-value d0 2h15m post Placebo d21 2h15m post Placebo d42 2h15m post Placebo d42 8h post Placebo Source Data: Appendix StatDoc 6.1.2; Program=tETwilc; 03APR03 The non-parametric analysis identified a statistically significant improvement in ET for tiotropium compared with placebo. These results were consistent with the results of the primary parametric analysis, i.e., significant increases in ET at all timepoints during the treatment period in the tiotropium group compared with the placebo group. In order to examine the influence of the outliers on the treatment difference, the primary parametric analysis (based on an ANCOVA model with terms treatment and centre and using baseline as a covariate) was repeated following removal of the two outliers with ET >3000 secs at Day 42, 2 hrs 15 mins post-dose: Placebo Difference N AdjMean (SE) N AdjMean (SE) AdjMean (SE) P-value (95% CI) d # 536.5# d42 2h15m post (29.7) (31.2) (43.3) (78.2, 248.9) #: common mean across groups at day -5 (baseline) Source Data: Appendix StatDoc 6.1.3; Program=tETmain; 03APR03 A quantitative interaction between treatment and baseline was observed with respect to absolute changes in ET, with subjects with a higher baseline ET

Treatment with tiotropium resulted in a reduction in the intensity of dyspnea (as rated by the subject using the Borg scale) at rest (immediately prior to exercise), a reduced rate of increase in dyspnea during exercise and a reduction in the intensity of dyspnea at peak exercise compared with placebo during the constant work rate exercise tests. The treatment comparisons (based on an ANCOVA model with terms treatment and centre and using baseline as a covariate) for the summary measures of dyspnea during the constant work rate exercise tests are presented below: Placebo Difference N AdjMean (SE) N AdjMean (SE) AdjMean (SE) P-value (95% CI) Rest d-5 base 0.49# 0.49# d0 2h15m (0.04) (0.05) (0.06) (-0.24, 0.01) d21 2h15m (0.05) (0.05) (0.07) (-0.34,-0.07) d42 2h15m (0.05) (0.06) (0.08) (-0.37,-0.07) d42 8h (0.06) (0.06) (0.08) (-0.39,-0.06) Peak d-5 base 7.02# 7.02# d0 2h15m (0.13) (0.13) (0.18) (-0.84,-0.12) d21 2h15m (0.14) (0.14) (0.20) (-1.04,-0.24) d42 2h15m (0.15) (0.16) (0.22) (-1.12,-0.26) d42 8h (0.14) (0.15) (0.21) (-0.82, 0.00) Slope d-5 base 0.97# 0.97# d0 2h15m (0.03) (0.03) (0.05) (-0.27,-0.08) d21 2h15m (0.05) (0.05) (0.07) (-0.36,-0.09) d42 2h15m (0.05) (0.06) (0.08) (-0.30, 0.00) d42 8h (0.06) (0.06) (0.09) (-0.33, 0.02) #: common mean across groups at Day -5 (baseline) Source Data: Appendix StatDoc 6.2.1; Program=tDHmain; 04APR03 Treatment with tiotropium resulted in a reduction in lung hyperinflation at rest and during exercise compared with placebo, as indicated by decreases in TGV(FRC) measured by body plethysmography, and increases in IC at rest (immediately prior to exercise), and throughout exercise up to the point of symptom limitation. The treatment comparisons for TGV(FRC) (based on an ANCOVA model with main effect terms treatment and centre and using baseline as a covariate) are presented below:

7 , BA 679 BR Treatment with tiotropium also resulted in the following: - significant decreases in TLC, RV, and Raw and significant increases in FEV 1, FVC, SVC, SGaw and V A compared with placebo; - significant decreases in shortness of breath, tightness of chest, and wheezing, significant improvements in physician global evaluation, and significant decreases in mean weekly salbutamol use compared with placebo. Safety results: A total of 261 patients were randomized and received at least one dose of trial medication. One hundred thirty one (131) subjects received tiotropium (18μg/day) and 130 subjects received placebo. One subject (0.8%) in the tiotropium group and 19 subjects (14.6%) in the placebo group withdrew from the trial prior to completion. The most common adverse events ( 3% of subjects receiving tiotropium) that were proportionately higher in the tiotropium group compared with the placebo group were: dry mouth (tiotropium 6.1% vs. placebo 3.8%), headache (tiotropium 6.1% vs. placebo 3.8%), cough (tiotropium 3.8% vs. placebo 1.5%) and upper respiratory tract infections (tiotropium 3.8% vs. placebo 1.5%). No deaths occurred during the treatment period. One patient who received placebo died during the post-study period, approximately 4.5 months after conclusion of participation in the trial. Two (1.5%) patients in the tiotropium group experienced a Serious Adverse Event during the treatment period (hospitalization for neck pain; hospitalization for uterine fibroids). Two (1.5%) patients in the placebo group experienced a Serious Adverse Event during the treatment period (hospitalization for shoulder pain; hospitalization for aggravation of osteoarthritis).

8 , BA 679 BR Conclusions: The present trial provides information regarding the characterisation of the clinical efficacy of tiotropium at the impairment-disability interface in patients with COPD. The study has shown that previously observed improvements in measures of resting pulmonary function such as FEV 1 and FVC following once daily treatment with tiotropium are translated into significant reductions in lung hyperinflation at rest and during exercise, with concomitant reductions in exertional dyspnea and increases in symptom-limited endurance time during constant work rate cycle ergometry at 75% of maximal work capacity (Wcap), which persist for at least 8 hours post-dosing. The safety assessment from this trial was generally consistent with the overall safety database from previous tiotropium clinical trials. The trial did not identify any previously unsuspected important adverse reaction to tiotropium.
