for = 3 months prior to enrolment; there should have been no change in treatment after
the previous exacerbation prior to entering into the study. Where dual therapy
consists of ICS + LABA or LABA + LAMA, and triple therapy consists of ICS + LABA +

condition or other reason which in the investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for
the participant to participate in the study.

- Clinically important pulmonary disease other than COPD, radiological findings, and/or
laboratory findings suggestive of a respiratory disease other than COPD that is
contributing to the participant's respiratory symptoms.

- Increased pre-BD FEV1 at randomization visit (SV3) compared to Screening SV1 of = 400
mL or = 25% of SV1 FEV1.

- Any other clinically relevant abnormal findings on physical examination, laboratory
testing; or chest CT scan, which in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor
may compromise the safety of the participant in the study or interfere with evaluation
of the study intervention or reduce the participant's ability to participate in the
study.

Chest CT scan findings requiring further investigation or repeat CT surveillance before
SV14

- A family history of heart failure.

- A LVEF < 45% measured by echocardiogram.

- History of a clinically significant infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal) within 4
weeks.

- History of, or a reason to believe a participant has a history of, drug or alcohol
abuse within the past 2 years prior to screening.

- Change in smoking status in 12 weeks prior to enrolment or intention to change smoking
status between enrolment and end of follow-up.

- Participants currently receiving background therapy that is not approved by regulatory
authorities in the country of study for COPD are not eligible for the study.

- History of treatment with cardiotoxic medications (eg, as part of cancer therapy)
including thiazolidinedione's.

- Treatment with broad spectrum antibiotic within 4 weeks prior to randomization (Day
1).
