What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1; L) 60 Minutes Post-dose
Time Frame: from baseline up to 12 weeks
FEV1 (expressed as litres [L]) is a spirometric measure of lung function. FEV1 was measured 60 minutes after administration of study drug. The results are expressed as a percentage in relation to the baseline value.
from baseline up to 12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time Frame: 12 weeks (end of run-in to last visit)
Patients were asked to record reliever medication use. Period averages over the last 10 days of the run-in period and the whole treatment period were calculated. The results are expressed as the change from the run-in period average value
12 weeks (end of run-in to last visit)
St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)
Time Frame: 12 weeks (end of run-in to last visit)
Patients were asked to complete the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Subscale symptom score ranges from 0 to 100% and measures the effect of respiratory symptoms, frequency, and severity on quality of life. A score of 0 indicates the best possible status. Results are expressed as the change from baseline score with a decrease in score indicating improvement.
