What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Peak Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) at Week 24
Time Frame: At Week 24
Peak FEV1 define at the highest value observed in the 3h after the morning IMP administration
At Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Transition Dyspnoea Index (TDI) Focal Score at Week 24
Time Frame: At Week 24
The TDI includes the same 3 categories as BDI and 7 ratings indicating the magnitude of the change from baseline in each category: from -3 ("major deterioration") to zero ("no change") to +3 ("major improvement"). Category scores are added to compute the Focal Score (from -9 to 9)
At Week 24
