A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Budesonide, Glycopyrronium, Formoterol Fumarate (BGF) Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI), Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate (BFF) MDI and Placebo MDI on Exercise Parameters in Participants With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Eligibility Criteria

• * a diagnosis of COPD confirmed by a post-bronchodilator Forced expiratory volume (FEV1)/ Forced vital capacity (FVC) \< 0.7 at Visit 1
• * a post-bronchodilator FEV1 ≥ 30% and \<80% predicted normal (moderate to severe COPD) at Visit 1.
• * a score of ≥ 2 on the modified Medical Research Council at Visit 1.
• * pre-bronchodilator FRC of \> 120% of predicted normal FRC values at Visit 1.
• * a constant work rate test endurance time of 3 to 8 minutes at Visit 2.
• * Participant must be on a stable dose of mono-or dual inhaled maintenance COPD treatment for at least 6 weeks.
• * Current or former smoker with a history of ≥ 10 pack-years of tobacco smoking
• * Body mass index \< 40 kg/m2.
• * Male and Female participants (not applicable for female participants with non-childbearing potential) and their partners must use an acceptable method of contraception.
• * A current diagnosis of asthma, asthma- COPD-overlap, or any other chronic respiratory disease other than COPD such as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, active tuberculosis, lung cancer, lung fibrosis, sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension.
• * Historical or current evidence of a clinically significant disease
• * Participants on oxygen therapy or that desaturate significantly (\<82%) during exercise.
• * Participants who are enrolled or entering a pulmonary rehabilitation program during the study.

• * A COPD exacerbation that requires hospitalization within 12 months prior to Visit 1 or a COPD exacerbation that requires systemic corticosteroids or antibiotics within 4 months of Visit 1.
• * Participants with contraindications to cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).
• * Participants who have had a respiratory tract infection within 8 weeks prior to Visit 1 and/or during the screening period.
• * Participants with lung lobectomy, lung volume reduction or lung transplantation.
• * Unable to withhold short-acting bronchodilators for 6 hours prior to lung function testing at each study visit.
