Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Normalized Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) AUC0-6 After the Morning Dose (Day 14)
Baseline and up to 6 hrs post-dose (±15 min) on Day 14 of treatment

AUC0-6 is area under the curve from time 0 to 6 hours Serial spirometry was performed at -60 min predose, at 5 (+5) and 30 (±5) min post-dose, and at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hrs post-dose (±15 min) Change from baseline was baseline of each treatment period The normalized FEV1 AUC0-6 was calculated by means of the trapezoidal method, dividing the area under the curve by the corresponding time intervals

Secondary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Normalized FEV1 AUC0-6 After the Morning Dose (Day 1)
Baseline and up to 6 hrs post-dose (±15 min) on Day 1 of treatment
