Experimental: Period 1: Revefenacin + Formoterol (Sequential)
Days 1 to 21: Revefenacin and formoterol will be sequentially administered in the morning. Formoterol will be administered again in the evening.
|
Drug: Revefenacin
Revefenacin is administered via a nebulizer.

- Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event [ Time Frame: Day 1 to End of Period 2, a Maximum of 42 days + 7 days follow-up (Each period was 21 days) ]An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product that did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. A treatment-emergent AE is an AE that occurred after the participant has received the study drug.
- Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Serious Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event [ Time Frame: Day 1 to End of Period 2, a Maximum of 42 days + 7 days follow-up (Each period was 21 days) ]
A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence occurring at any dose that resulted in any of the following outcomes:
- Death
- Life-threatening situation. "Life-threatening" refers to a situation in which the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which might have caused death if it were more severe
- Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
- Congenital anomaly in the offspring of a participant who received study drug
- Important medical events that may not result in death, be immediately life-threatening, or require hospitalization, could have been considered an SAE when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may have jeopardized the participant and may have required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition
A treatment-emergent SAE is an SAE that occurred after the participant has received the study drug.
- Number of Participants With Clinically Relevant Changes in Vital Sign Measurements [ Time Frame: Baseline to End of Period 2, a Maximum of 42 days + 7 days follow-up (Each period was 21 days) ]Clinically significant changes identified based on change from baseline. Vital signs measured included heart rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.
- Number of Participants With Clinically Relevant Changes in Clinical Laboratory Measurements [ Time Frame: Baseline to End of Period 2, a Maximum of 42 days + 7 days follow-up (Each period was 21 days) ]Clinically relevant changes identified based on change from baseline. Laboratory Measures assessed included hematology and serum.
- Number of Participants With Clinically Relevant Changes in Electrocardiogram Results [ Time Frame: Baseline to End of Period 2, a Maximum of 42 days + 7 days follow-up (Each period was 21 days) ]Clinically relevant changes identified based on change from baseline.
