Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Part A: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs
Time Frame: Part A: From first dose of study drug up 84 days
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. AEs included abnormal clinically significant findings for spirometry, clinical laboratory parameters, standard 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs and pulse oximetry examinations. Serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and up to 84 days that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. TEAEs included both serious and non-serious TEAEs.

Time Frame: Study Baseline, Day 29 of Part A
QOL- PCD adult version has following 10 domains: lower respiratory symptoms, emotional functioning, treatment burden, role, social functioning, vitality, health perception, upper respiratory symptoms, physical functioning and hearing symptoms.
