Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) at the End of the 12-week Treatment Period
Change from baseline in trough Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) at the end of the 12-week treatment period is presented. FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. It is measured by a spirometer. Trough FEV1 is defined as the pre-dose FEV1 measured in the clinic at the -10 minutes time point just prior to inhalation of the morning dose of randomised treatment. Trough FEV1 response is defined as the change from baseline: Trough FEV1 response = Trough FEV1 - FEV1 (Baseline)
Time frame: At baseline and week 12

FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. The FEV1 AUC0-8h is defined as the area under the FEV1 curve (AUC) normalized for time. It was calculated as area under the curve from zero time to 8 h using the trapezoidal rule divided by the corresponding duration (i.e. 8 h) to give the results in litres. The trough FEV1 was assigned to zero time. Trough FEV1 at baseline is defined as the pre-dose FEV1 measured in the clinic at the -10 minutes time point just prior to inhalation of the first morning dose of randomised treatment at the randomisation visit. Response = FEV1 AUC0-8h at week 12 - trough FEV1 at baseline.

Mahler Transition Dyspnoea Index (TDI) Focal Score at the End of the 12-week Treatment Period
The Mahler Dyspnoea questionnaire is an instrument which measures change from baseline state in the severity of breathlessness (shortness of breath). It is based on the criteria of the various grades for change in functional impairment (any activities started or stopped?), change in magnitude of task (What activities cause breathlessness now?) and change in magnitude of effort (Need to pause while performing activities?), which causes breathlessness, each ranging from grade -3 (major deterioration) to +3 (major improvement). The Transition Dyspnoea Index (TDI) focal score was calculated as the sum of these three components of the TDI, i.e. change in Functional Impairment, in Magnitude of Task and in Magnitude of Effort. Consequently, TDI ranges from -9 to +9 with a higher score indicating improvement.
