- Change From Baseline in Exercise Endurance Time (ET) [ Time Frame: From baseline Week 0 (Visit 4) to Week 6 (Visit 6) ]Exercise endurance time is defined as the time from the increase in work rate at 75% Wmax (watts) to the point of symptom limitation. The Wmax is defined as the highest work rate the patients were able to maintain for at least 30 seconds.
- Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline (Visit 4) at Week 6 (Visit 6) ]Change in trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second. FEV1 was assessed at the end of the daily dosing interval (Trough).
- Trough Inspiratory Capacity (IC) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline Week 0 (Visit 4) to Week 6 (Visit 6) ]Change in trough Inspiratory Capacity. Inspiratory Capacity was measured as part of the spirometry procedures performed at each visit. IC was assessed at the end of the daily dosing interval (Trough).
- Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline Week 0 (Visit 4) to Week 6 (Visit 6) ]Change in trough Functional Residual Capacity. FRC was assessed at the end of the daily dosing interval (Trough).
- Inspiratory Capacity (IC)/Total Lung Capacity (TLC) Ratio [ Time Frame: Change from baseline Week 0 (Visit 4) to Week 6 (Visit 6) ]Ratio of trough Inspiratory Capacity verses Total Lung Capacity.
