• The subject is able to understand and comply with the protocol requirements, instructions and protocol-stated restrictions.
• The subject has an increase in sGAW of ≥15% over pre-dose baseline within 2 h of administration of 400 µg salbutamol by MDI inhaler at screening or in the 3 months before screening.
• The subject has an increase in sGAW of ≥25% over pre-dose baseline within 2 h following 80 µg ipratropium bromide at screening or in the 3 months before screening.
• Subjects who are current non-smokers who have not used any tobacco products in the 6-month period preceding the screening visit and have a pack history of ≥ 10 pack years.

Exclusion criteria

• A history of respiratory disease (i.e. history of asthmatic symptoms).
• Clinically significant abnormal 12 lead ECG at
• A subject in whom ipratropium bromide, salbutamol or propranolol are contraindicated.

• The subject has used prescription or non-prescription drugs, including vitamins, herbal and dietary supplements (including St John's Wort) within 7 days (or 14 days if the drug is a potential enzyme inducer) or 5 half-lives (which ever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication, unless in the opinion of the Investigator and medical monitor the medication will not interfere with the study procedures or compromise subject safety.
• The subject has participated in a clinical study with a New Chemical Entity (NCE) within the past 3 months.
• Exposure to more than four new chemical entities within 12 months prior to the first dosing day.

• Are unable to use the inhaler correctly.
• The subject has a history of drug or other allergy, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, contraindicates their participation.
