    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Mixed Model of Repeated Measures (MMRM) Change From Baseline in Awake Objective Cough Frequency (Periods 1 & 2 Combined) [Baseline (Day 0), Day 7, and Day 14 (Period 1 and Period 2)]

      Cough monitoring was conducted for 24 hours while awake, at pre-dose on Day 0 (baseline), and after administration of the study drug on Day 7 and Day 14 in Periods 1 and 2. The cough frequency is the coughs/hour over each 24-hour period. Awake objective cough frequency was analyzed using Mixed Effect Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) to evaluate the results of the 2-period cross-over study. Baseline cough frequency was derived from the cough monitoring performed at the beginning of each treatment period while the post-treatment cough frequency was derived from the cough monitoring performed at the end of the dosing period. A negative change indicates a decrease in cough frequency, while a positive change indicates an increase in cough frequency.

    2. Awake Objective Cough Frequency (Periods 1 & 2 Combined) [Baseline (Day 0), Day 7, and Day 14 (Period 1 and Period 2)]

      Cough monitoring was conducted for 24 hours while awake, at pre-dose on Day 0 (baseline), and after administration of the study drug on Day 7 and Day 14 in Periods 1 and 2. The cough frequency is the coughs/hour over each 24-hour period. Awake objective cough frequency was defined as the total number of cough events during the monitoring period the participant was awake divided by the total duration for the monitoring period the participant was awake. Baseline cough frequency was derived from the cough monitoring performed at the beginning of each treatment period while the post-treatment cough frequency was derived from the cough monitoring performed at the end of the dosing period.

      Cough monitoring was conducted for 24 hours while awake, at pre-dose on Day 0 (baseline), and after administration of the study drug on Day 7 and Day 14 in Periods 1 and 2. The cough frequency is the coughs/hour over each 24-hour period. Awake objective cough frequency was defined as the total number of cough events during the monitoring period the participant was awake divided by the total duration for the monitoring period the participant was awake. Baseline cough frequency was derived from the cough monitoring performed at the beginning of each treatment period while the post-treatment cough frequency was derived from the cough monitoring performed at the end of the dosing period. A negative value indicates a decrease in cough frequency.

Percent change from baseline in awake objective cough frequency (0-6 hours after the morning dose) was reported at each dosing interval. Percent change in awake cough frequency = 100 X (post treatment cough frequency - baseline cough frequency) divided by the baseline cough frequency. A negative value indicates a decrease in cough frequency.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Mixed Model of Repeated Measures (MMRM) Change From Baseline in Awake Objective Cough Frequency (Periods 1 & 2 Combined)
    Description Cough monitoring was conducted for 24 hours while awake, at pre-dose on Day 0 (baseline), and after administration of the study drug on Day 7 and Day 14 in Periods 1 and 2. The cough frequency is the coughs/hour over each 24-hour period. Awake objective cough frequency was analyzed using Mixed Effect Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) to evaluate the results of the 2-period cross-over study. Baseline cough frequency was derived from the cough monitoring performed at the beginning of each treatment period while the post-treatment cough frequency was derived from the cough monitoring performed at the end of the dosing period. A negative change indicates a decrease in cough frequency, while a positive change indicates an increase in cough frequency.
    Time Frame Baseline (Day 0), Day 7, and Day 14 (Period 1 and Period 2)

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The analysis population includes all randomized participants who had a baseline and at least 1 post-baseline frequency values, were enrolled into the study under protocol amendment 3, and had otherwise complied with the protocol without any major protocol deviations. Participants enrolled prior to protocol amendment 3 were not included in the efficacy analysis.

    Description Awake objective cough frequency was defined as the total number of cough events during the monitoring period the participant was awake divided by the total duration for the monitoring period the participant was awake. Percent change from baseline in awake objective cough frequency (0-6 hours after the morning dose) was reported at each dosing interval. Percent change in awake cough frequency = 100 X (post treatment cough frequency - baseline cough frequency) divided by the baseline cough frequency.

A positive value indicates an increase in cough frequency. Baseline cough frequency was derived from the cough monitoring performed at the beginning of each treatment period while the post-treatment cough frequency was derived from the cough monitoring performed at the end of the dosing period.

    Title MMRM Analysis of Change From Baseline in 24-hour Objective Cough Frequency (Period 1)
    Description 24-hour objective cough frequency = total number of coughs during the monitoring period divided by the total duration for the monitoring period. A negative value indicates a decrease in cough frequency. A positive value indicates an increase in cough frequency. 24-hour objective cough frequency for Period 1 was analyzed using MMRM to evaluate the results of the 2-period cross-over study. The derived change measured at each dose were the repeated measures.

The total CQLQ score is the sum of the individual item scores; the lowest possible score is 28 and the highest 112. Low CQLQ scores for both total and the 6 domains indicate less impact of cough on health-related quality of life. A negative result indicates a decrease in cough impact on quality of life. CQLQ was analyzed using MMRM to evaluate the results of the 2-period cross-over study. The derived change measured at each dose were the repeated measures.

    Title MMRM Analysis of Change From Baseline in Total Daily Cough Severity Diary (CSD) Score (Periods 1 & 2 Combined)
    Description The daily CSD Score is calculated using the daily CSD instrument, a 7-item, disease specific, patient-reported outcome measure with a recall period of "today" (the current day). The measure evaluates frequency of cough (3 items); intensity of cough (2 items); and sleep disruption due to cough (2 items). Each of these 7 items is rated on an 11-point scale, ranging from 0 (best) to 10 (worst), with higher scores indicating greater severity. The total daily CSD score is the sum of these 7 item scores (Min=0, Max=70). Baseline CSD score = average of CSD scores at screening and baseline. A negative result indicates a decrease in cough severity, while a positive result indicates an increase in cough severity. CSD was analyzed using MMRM to evaluate the results of the 2-period cross-over study. The derived change measured at each dose were the repeated measures.

    Title Percentage of Participants With Borg CR10 Perception of Breathless Value ≥5 (Periods 1 & 2 Combined)
    Description The Borg 10 scale assesses post-treatment breathlessness during perceived exertion while exercising. The scale ranges from 0 to 10 where 0 = nothing at all, 1 = very weak, 3 = moderate, 5 = strong, 7 = very strong, 10 = extremely strong. The lowest possible score is 0 and the highest possible score is 10. The percentage of participants with Borg CR10 perception of breathless value ≥5 was assessed.

The measure evaluates frequency of cough (3 items); intensity of cough (2 items); and sleep disruption due to cough (2 items). Each of these 7 items is rated on an 11-point scale, ranging from 0 (best) to 10 (worst), with higher scores indicating greater severity. The total daily CSD score is the sum of these 7 item scores (Min=0, Max=70). Baseline CSD score = average of CSD scores at screening and baseline.
