Albuterol Spiromax® delivers 90 mcg albuterol per inhalation. Doses of 180 mcg require two inhalations. Intervention given as double-blind medication on 2 of 5 treatment days, once at 90 mcg and once at 180 mcg.
ProAir® HFA delivers 90 mcg of albuterol per inhalation. Doses of 180 mcg require two inhalations. Intervention given as double-blind medication on 2 of 5 treatment days, once at 90 mcg and once at 180 mcg.
Placebo delivered in both the Spiromax® and HFA inhalers to maintain the blind and also to support the placebo treatment arm.

Baseline-adjusted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Area Under the Curve (AUC 0-6)
FEV1 AUC 0-6 is the area under the effect-time curve from time 0 (pre-dose) up to 6 hours post-dose. The baseline for each study day was the average of the 2 pre-dose FEV1 measurements on that study day. The first baseline spirometry was obtained between 6-11 AM. The highest FEV1 value from two acceptable values was captured for calculation of the efficacy endpoints. Assessments were obtained at approximately 0.5 hours and immediately before dosing, and 5 minutes, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours after completion of dosing.
Time frame: Day 1 up to Day 30
Baseline-adjusted Percent-Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (PPFEV1) Area Under the Curve (AUC 0-6)
Percent-predicted FEV1 AUC 0-6 is the area under the effect-time curve from time 0 (pre-dose) up to 6 hours post-dose. Percent-predicted FEV1 is the expected FEV1 taking into account age, height, gender and race, as per the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANES III) reference values. The first baseline spirometry was obtained between 6-11 AM. The highest FEV1 value from two acceptable values was captured for calculation of the efficacy endpoints. Assessments were obtained at approximately 0.5 hours and immediately before dosing, and 5 minutes, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours after completion of dosing.
Time frame: Day 1 up to Day 30
Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Adverse events (AEs) summarized in this table are those that began or worsened after treatment with study drug (treatment-emergent AEs). An adverse event was defined in the protocol as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. Relation of AE to treatment was determined by the investigator. Serious AEs include death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, OR an important medical event that jeopardized the patient and required medical intervention to prevent the previously listed serious outcomes.
