Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Absolute Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 26
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 26
Forced vital capacity (FVC) is defined as the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. It was measured by spirometry test. The maximum of triplicate FVC for each participant was used for calculations. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value/assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment on Day 1. Change from Baseline (CFB) in FVC at Week 26 was calculated for each participant using the FVC Week 26 result minus the Baseline FVC result. Posterior median CFB and the 95% highest posterior density (HPD) interval were derived using a Bayesian repeated measures model. The data presented as "Median" refers to the 'posterior median' and "95% confidence interval" to '95% HPD interval'.
Baseline (Day 1) and Week 26

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Absolute Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity at Weeks 4, 8, 12 and 18
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 4, 8, 12 and 18
FVC is defined as the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. It was measured by spirometry test. The maximum of triplicate FVC for each participant, at each timepoint was used for calculations. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value/assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment on Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at indicated time point minus the value at Baseline. Posterior median CFB and the 95% HPD interval were derived using a Bayesian repeated measures model. The data presented as "Median" refers to the 'posterior median' and "95% confidence interval" to '95% HPD interval'.
Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 4, 8, 12 and 18
Absolute Change From Baseline in FVC (Percentage [%] Predicted) at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 18 and 26
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 18 and 26
FVC is defined as the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. It was measured by spirometry test. The maximum of triplicate FVC for each participant, at each timepoint was used for calculations. The FVC (percentage [%] predicted) result at each timepoint for each participant is calculated using the formula: FVC (% predicted) equals to FVC (mL) divided by Predicted FVC (mL) multiply by 100. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value/assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment on Day 1. Change from Baseline in FVC (% predicted) at each time point for each participant was calculated by subtracting the Baseline FVC (% predicted) from the FVC (% predicted) at that timepoint.
Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 18 and 26
Proportion of Participants Who Achieved Relative Decline of Less Than or Equal to (<=) 5% in FVC From Baseline at Week 26
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 26
FVC is defined as the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. It was measured by spirometry test. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value/assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment on Day 1. Relative decline from Baseline in FVC (mL) at the Week 26 visit was calculated using the following formula: relative decline at Week 26 equals to (1 minus Week 26 FVC [mL] divided by Baseline FVC [mL]) multiplied by 100. Participants with relative decline of <=5% at Week 26 were classified as responders; those with greater than (>) 5% decline were non-responders. Participants who died due to disease progression prior to Week 26 were imputed as non-responders. Posterior median and the 95% HPD interval were derived using a Bayesian logistic regression model. The data presented as "Median" refers to the 'posterior median' and "95% confidence interval" to '95% HPD interval'.
Baseline (Day 1) and Week 26
Number of Participants With Any Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: Up to Week 29
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study participant or any other situation according to medical or scientific judgment.
Up to Week 29
Number of Participants With Vital Signs Results by Potential Clinical Importance (PCI) Criteria
Time Frame: Up to Week 29
Vital signs included systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and pulse rate were measured for at least 5 minutes of rest for the participant in a quiet setting. PCI ranges were SBP (low: less than [<]85 millimeter of mercury [mmHg], high: >180 mmHg), DBP (low: <45 mmHg, high: >110 mmHg) and pulse rate (low: <40 beat per minute [bpm], high: >110 bpm). Participants were counted in the worst-case category if their value changed 'To Low' or 'To High', unless there was no change in their category. Participants whose vital signs value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became within range, were recorded in 'To Within Range or No Change' category. Participants were counted twice if the participants had values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages may not add to 100%.
Up to Week 29
Number of Participants With Electrocardiogram (ECG) Results by PCI Criteria
Time Frame: Up to Week 29
Triplicate 12-lead ECGs were obtained after participant has rested in supine position for 5 minutes, using an ECG machine that automatically calculates heart rate and measures PR, QRS, QT, and QTc intervals. ECG parameters with PCI ranges were: PR Interval (low: <110 milliseconds[msec], high: >220 msec), QRS Duration (low: <75 msec, high: >120 msec) and QTcF Interval (<=450 msec, >450 msec to <=480 msec, >480 msec to <=500 msec and >500 msec). Participants were counted in the worst-case category if their value changed 'To Low' or 'To High', unless there was no change in their category. Participants whose value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became within range, were recorded in 'To Within Range or No Change' category. Participants were counted twice if the participants had values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages may not add to 100%.

Participants were counted in the worst-case category if their value changed 'To Low' or 'To High', unless there was no change in their category. Participants whose value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became within range, were recorded in 'To Within Range or No Change' category. Participants were counted twice if the participants had values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages may not add to 100%.
