Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Change From Baseline to 24 Months [Baseline, 24 months]

    Measurement over time (from baseline over the 24-month treatment period) and change from baseline to end of the treatment period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline at 24 Months in Total Symptom Diary Score [Baseline, 24 months]

    Subjects were required to keep a symptom diary throughout the entire trial period from the start of investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration in the washout period until the end of the treatment period. Assessment items included scores for shortness of breath, cough, and sputum, IMP compliance, use of salbutamol and respiratory symptom medications, and smoking status. Subjects recorded a score of between 0 and 3, with 0 indicating no symptoms and 3 indicating a high level of symptoms, for each domain.

  2. Change From Baseline at 24 Months in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score [Baseline, 24 months]

    The SGRQ is a self-administered questionnaire designed to measure and quantify the impact of chronic respiratory disease on health-related quality of life (QOL) and well-being in three domains: symptoms, activity, and impact on daily life. The SGRQ was completed by each subject prior to IMP administration at baseline and at Month 6, Month 12, Month 18, and Month 24 (end of treatment). A weighted score based on population norms for each dimension and total was evaluated. Scores were expressed as a percentage of overall impairment where 100 represented worst possible health status and 0 indicated best possible health status. Scores were calculated when less than 24% of the item scores were missing, otherwise the scores were set to missing. Where there were multiple answers for a question, the worst case was used.

Adverse Events

Time Frame Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were collected from the start of IMP administration until follow-up (2 weeks after the end of treatment or early termination)
Adverse Event Reporting Description Safety analyses were conducted on the safety population, defined all randomized subjects who took at least one dose of the IMP. A TEAE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of the IMP, regardless of judgment of relationship to the IMP.
