NCT ID: NCT01699685

Last Updated: 2016-02-09

Results Overview

IC was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Peak IC was defined as the maximum IC of the mean at one of the post-dose measurements (30min, 60min, 120min, 180min and 240min).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day (0) 30minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours; Day (6) 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study medication during at least one study period. Participants with observations after 4 hours were included in the analysis.

IC was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. Peak IC was defined as the maximum IC of the mean at one of the post-dose measurements (30min, 60min, 120min, 180min and 240min).

FEV1 was measured with spirometry conducted according to internationally accepted standards. FEV1 was at 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes post-dose. Spirometry equipment and performance of spirometric testing had to be in accordance with standards as outlined in the American Thoracic Society for the Standardization of Spirometry recommendations. The spirometry equipment used during the study had to meet or exceed these minimal ATS recommendations
