Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Bronchodilator effect
up to 30 min pre-dose, postdose up to 3 hours

Bronchodilator effect expressed as AUC of FEV1's relative change from the same day baseline (pre-dose) versus time up to 3 hours, defined as AUC(0-3) of change in FEV1%. The difference of primary endpoints of E004 and Placebo will be evaluated statistically.

Secondary Endpoints

AUC analysis
up to 30 min pre-dose, postdose up to 3 hours
Evaluation of FEV1 volume changes
up to 30 min pre-dose, postdose up to 3 hours
Change in FEV1
