Albuterol DPI (A006) Clinical Study-B3:Efficacy, Dose-ranging and Safety Evaluation

The forced expiratory volume in the 1st second (FEV1) is measured with a clinically accepted model of spirometer. Subjects perform a pre-dose baseline FEV1 prior to dosing and perform subsequent FEV1 tests at 5, 15 and 30 minutes and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours after dosing during each treatment period. Area under the curve (AUC), from baseline to 6 hours post-dose, for the treatment period is calculated using the trapezoidal rule. Statistical analysis is performed using a one-sided t-test.

An asthma exacerbation incident is defined as significant worsening of clinical symptoms that cannot be adequately relieved by the rescue medication, or significant deterioration of FEV1 tests combined with clinical symptoms. Investigators monitor worsening of asthma symptoms during the treatment period and determine if subjects had experienced an asthma exacerbation.

Rescue medication may be used to control worsening or exacerbations of asthma symptoms during the study visits when necessary, as determined by the investigator.
