Transition Dyspnoea Index (TDI) focal score is a symptom-based variable tool, used to assess breathlessness and the impact of intervention. BDI/TDI is a clinical rating method based on a validated tool that measures the impact of dyspnoea based on 3 domains: functional impairment, magnitude of task, and magnitude of effort. BDI focal score is the baseline value from which TDI focal score is assessed. BDI scores range from 0 (very severe impairment) to 4 (no impairment) for each domain with the baseline focal score consisting of the sum of each domain (i.e. from 0 to 12). Change from baseline in dyspnoea severity was measured using the TDI. TDI score ranges from -3 (major deterioration) to +3 (major improvement) for each domain, with the TDI focal score consisting of the sum of each domain (i.e. from -9 to +9). A higher total score indicates improvement, while a lower or negative score indicates worsening symptoms. BDI=Baseline Dyspnoea Index TDI=Transition Dyspnoea Index

Number of participants defined as responders wrt. to FEV1 -- at Week 26 and Week 52. FEV1 response was defined as a change from baseline in pre-dose morning FEV1 of ≥100 mL. If the change from baseline was \<100 mL, the patient was classified as a non-responder in terms of FEV1. Subjects with missing pre-dose morning FEV1 value at the pre-specified tested time points were also classified as non-responders. FEV1=Forced expiratory volume in the 1st second. It is the volume of air that can be forced out in one second after taking a deep breath.

BDI/TDI is a clinical rating method based on a validated tool that measures the impact of dyspnoea on 3 domains: functional impairment, magnitude of task, and magnitude of effort. TDI tool and its scoring system are defined in the outcome measure #3 of this PRS study entry. Please note: Results at Week 26, are presented as the primary outcome measure #3 for this PRS study entry. BDI=Baseline Dyspnoea Index TDI=Transition Dyspnoea Index

Number of participants with transition dyspnoea index (TDI) response (focal score ≥1) -- at Week 26 and Week 52. TDI tool and its scoring system are defined in the outcome measure #3 of this PRS study entry. TDI response was defined as a TDI focal score of ≥1. If the TDI focal score was \<1, the patient was classified as a non-responder in terms of TDI. Patients with missing TDI focal score at the pre-specified tested time points were also classified as non-responders.

Change from baseline in Saint George's respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) Total score. SGRQ is a 76-item questionnaire developed to measure health in chronic airflow limitation. SGRQ consists of scores from three component that are used to calculate the total score: Symptoms, Activity, and Impacts on daily life. SGRQ questionnaire was completed by the patient at all study visits (Week 0 baseline, and Week 4, 12, 26, 40, 52). The Total score range is from 0 to 100 (0=Best, 100=Worst); lower scores correspond to better health. SGRQ questionnaire was completed by the patient at all study visits (Week 0 baseline, 4, 12, 26, 40, 52).
