SOC = system organ class.
Time frame: Visit 6 (week 27)
New holter monitoring alerts are defined as those alerts that occurred post-randomization and were not present at baseline.
Time frame: visit 6 (week 27)
Patients with glucose values that met low (<=40 mg/dL) or high (>=175 mg/dL) criteria were considered potentially clinically significant.
Time frame: visit 6 (week 27)
Patients with potassium values that met low (<=3 mEq/L) or high (>=6 mEq/L) criteria were considered potentially clinically significant.
Time frame: visit 6 (week 27)
New Electrocardiogram (ECG) alerts are defined as those alerts that occurred post-treatment and were not present at baseline.
Time frame: weeks 0,3,13,26
Mean Change in Inspiratory Capacity values from baseline (baseline assessment obtained at Visit 2, pre-dose). Spirometry measurements collected within 6 hours following in-clinic rescue/supplemental medications use were excluded from analysis.
Time frame: weeks 0,3,13,26
The 6 hour peak change from baseline is the maximum of the post-dose change values through 6 hours at each visit.
Time frame: visit 6 (week 27)
Number of subjects with a heart rate that was lower/higher than a set limit and increased/decreased from set baseline limit in beats per minute (bpm)
Time frame: Screening (day-14 to 0) and Treatment (week 0 - 26)
Supplemental medication usage is recorded throughout the study. MDI stands for metered dose inhaler.
Time frame: Screening (day-14 to 0) and Treatment (week 0 - 26)
Supplemental medication usage during the study. MDI stands for metered dose inhaler. An actuation is one depression of the device that releases medication.
Time frame: Screening (day-14 to 0) and Treatment (week 0 - 26)
Rescue medication usage during the study. MDI stands for metered dose inhaler.
Time frame: Screening (day-14 to 0) and Treatment (week 0 - 26)
Rescue medication usage during the study. MDI stands for metered dose inhaler. An actuation is one depression of the device that releases medication.
Time frame: weeks 0,3,13,26
Area under the change from baseline curve from 0 to 6 hours. Time-normalized AUC (0-6 hrs) was derived using the linear trapezoidal method.
Time frame: weeks 13, 26
The transitional focal score (-9 to 9) is the sum of relative change from baseline for the Functional Impairment, Magnitude of Task, and Magnitude of Effort scores (each -3 to 3 scale). A Transitional Dyspnea Index score of -9 represents a maximum degradation of all three tests; a score of 9 represents a maximum improvement of all three tests.
Time frame: weeks 13, 26
The number of participants with a transitional focal score (range -9 to 9) of >=1 improvement. Transitional focal score compares current health against baseline for the Functional Impairment, Magnitude of Task, and Magnitude of Effort scores. A score of -9 is maximum worsening and 9 is maximum improvement.
Time frame: weeks 0,3,13,26
The 24 hour trough is the FEV1 value obtained 24 hours post first dose. This value is compared to the baseline FEV1 value.
Time frame: weeks 13, 26
The global evaluation is a COPD symptoms rating ranging from 1 to 7, with 1=much better and 7=much worse. Ratings were assessed relative to the subject's initial entry into the study.
Time frame: weeks 13, 26
The global evaluation is a COPD symptoms rating ranging from 1 to 7, with 1 = much better and 7 = much worse. Ratings were assessed relative to the subject's initial entry into the study.
Time frame: Baseline (visit 2), weeks 13, 26
The BODE index (0=relative health and 10=severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a multi-dimension COPD grading system that incorporates body-mass index (B), degree of airflow obstruction (O), dyspnea (D), and exercise capacity (E) as measured by the 6-minute walk test. Scores were derived using pre-dose assessments from each visit.
Time frame: Post-Dose weeks 0, 13, 26
Mean change from baseline in distance walked (meters)
Time frame: weeks 13, 26
Scores are expressed as a mean change from baseline of overall impairment (total score). The questionnaire has a scale of 100 which represents worst possible health status to 0 which indicates best possible health status.
Time frame: Visit 4 (week 13) , Visit 5 (week 26)
Scores are expressed as the number of participants with >= 4 unit improvement in overall impairment (total score), where 100 represents worst possible health status and 0 indicates best possible health status.
Time frame: Baseline (visit 2), weeks 13, 26
Scores range from 0 to 4, with a score of 4 indicating that a subject is too breathless to leave the house or becomes breathless when dressing or undressing. The highest numbered question to which the subject answered 'Yes' is the Dyspnea Scale Score.
Time frame: visits 4 (week 13), visit 5 (week 26)
The percentage of participants with a transitional focal score (range -9 to 9) of >=1 improvement. Transitional focal score is the sum of the Functional Impairment, Magnitude of Task, and Magnitude of Effort scores. A score of -9 is maximum worsening and 9 is maximum improvement.
Time frame: visit 4 (week 13), visit 5 (week 26)
Percent of participants with a >=4 unit improvement in the overall impairment (total score) of the St. George's Respiratory Questionaire. This questionaire uses a 100 - 0 scale, where 100 represents the worst possible health status and 0 indicates the best possible health status.
Time frame: Baseline (Visit 2), week 13, week 26
This test measures the participants' level of fitness. It is a measure of the distance the participant can walk in 6 minutes.
Time frame: Baseline (Visit 2), Weeks 13, 26
The investigator global evaluation is reported by the study investigator. It is a COPD symptoms rating ranging from 1 to 7, with 1 = much better and 7 = much worse.
Time frame: Baseline (Visit 2), weeks 13, 26
A questionnaire to assess respiratory health. Scores are expressed as a percentage of overall impairment (total score), where 100 represents the worst possible health status and 0 indicates best possible health status.
Time frame: Baseline (Visit 2), weeks 13, 26
The subject global evaluation is reported by study subjects/participants. It is a COPD symptoms rating ranging from 1 to 7, with 1 = much better and 7 = much worse.
Time frame: Baseline (Visit 2), Weeks 3, 13, 26
Inspiratory capacity is the maximum volume that can be inhaled.
Time frame: Baseline (Visit 2), weeks 3, 13, 26
