- AUC [ Time Frame: 5, 20, 40, 60, 90; 120, 180, 240, and 360 minutes post-dose. ]Area under the curve (AUC) of post-dose FEV1 percentage changes from the Pre-dose Baseline. The primary analysis of the primary endpoint is to compare the AUC0-t of FEV1, between the A006 treatments and the Placebo Control.
- Time to Effect [ Time Frame: 0 to 360 minutes ]Time to onset of bronchodilator effect
- Peak Response [ Time Frame: 0 - 360 minutes ]peak bronchodilator response
- Duration [ Time Frame: 0 - 360 minutes ]Duration of effect
- Response Rate [ Time Frame: 0 - 360 minutes ]Bronchodilatory Response Rate
- Hand Tremor [ Time Frame: within 5 min. prior to dosing and 50 and 360 min post-dose. ]Evaluation of hand tremor
- Vital Signs [ Time Frame: within 15 min. prior to dosing, and 30, 90 and 360 min post-dose. ]Pulse, heartrate, respirations, blood pressure
- 12 lead ECG [ Time Frame: within 15 min. prior to dosing and at 50 and 360 min postdose. ]12-lead ECG for routine and QT/QTc evaluations
- Blood Work [ Time Frame: within 15 min. prior to dosing, and 30 and 120 min. postdose ]Collect blood samples (~5 mL) for serum glucose and K+ tests
