Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as area under the curve of change in FEV1 from baseline at visit 2 (day 1) for the time period from pre-dose to 6 hours post dose (AUC(0-6hours)FEV1) after 12 weeks of randomised treatment on visit 4 (day 85).

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Secondary endpoints include additional FEV1 and FVC endpoints, morning and evening expiratory flow rate (PEFR), number of puffs of rescue medication (salbutamol), adverse events, pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure

Estimated Enrollment: 456
Estimated Study Completion Date: April 2006
