PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: predose, various timeframes up to 5 hours post last dose

Population: Intent to treat population

Diastolic blood pressure measured at various timepoints: predose and timepoints after each of the three dosings. Each treatment consists of one nebulization every 30 minutes over a 60 minute treatment interval (totaling 3 cumulative dosings at 0,30 and 60 minutes).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: predose, various postdose times

Population: Intent to treat population. Pulmonary function testing was only performed on subjects six years of age or older; there were no subjects five or younger who performed spirometry. Subject data for those who were misdosed with ARF 7.5mcg rather than ARF 15mcg in the open-label portion were excluded from these analyses.

PEFR is the fastest rate at which air can move through the airways during a forced expiration starting with fully inflated lungs as measured by peak flow meters. Change in PEFR was calculated as postdose value minus the predose value at each visit.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: predose, various postdose times

Population: PK population consisted of subjects who were in the intent-to-treat population and had any plasma concentration data available.

If the mean plasma concentration was 'below the limit of quantification' (BLQ) which was set as \<=0.5 picograms/milliliter, the value is displayed as a zero.
