1.Primary Outcome
Title Mixed Model of Repeated Measures (MMRM) Change From Baseline in Awake Objective Cough Frequency (Periods 1 & 2 Combined)
Hide Description Cough monitoring was conducted for 24 hours while awake, at pre-dose on Day 0 (baseline), and after administration of the study drug on Day 7 and Day 14 in Periods 1 and 2. The cough frequency is the coughs/hour over each 24-hour period. Awake objective cough frequency was analyzed using Mixed Effect Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) to evaluate the results of the 2-period cross-over study. Baseline cough frequency was derived from the cough monitoring performed at the beginning of each treatment period while the post-treatment cough frequency was derived from the cough monitoring performed at the end of the dosing period. A negative change indicates a decrease in cough frequency, while a positive change indicates an increase in cough frequency.

Percent change from baseline in awake objective cough frequency (0-6 hours after the morning dose) was reported at each dosing interval. Percent change in awake cough frequency = 100 X (post treatment cough frequency - baseline cough frequency) divided by the baseline cough frequency.

Hide Description CQLQ is a 28-item scale that has 4 possible responses: 1 = strongly disagree; 2 = disagree; 3 = agree; 4 = strongly agree. Subjects were instructed to circle only 1 response. The total CQLQ score is the sum of the individual item scores; the lowest possible score is 28 and the highest 112. Low CQLQ scores for both total and the 6 domains indicate less impact of cough on health-related quality of life. A negative result indicates a decrease in cough impact on quality of life.

Title MMRM Analysis of Change From Baseline in Total Daily Cough Severity Diary (CSD) Score (Periods 1 & 2 Combined)
Hide Description The daily CSD Score is calculated using the daily CSD instrument, a 7-item, disease specific, patient-reported outcome measure with a recall period of "today" (the current day). The measure evaluates frequency of cough (3 items); intensity of cough (2 items); and sleep disruption due to cough (2 items). Each of these 7 items is rated on an 11-point scale, ranging from 0 (best) to 10 (worst), with higher scores indicating greater severity. The total daily CSD score is the sum of these 7 item scores (Min=0, Max=70). Baseline CSD score = average of CSD scores at screening and baseline. A negative result indicates a decrease in cough severity, while a positive result indicates an increase in cough severity. CSD was analyzed using MMRM to evaluate the results of the 2-period cross-over study. The derived change measured at each dose were the repeated measures.

Title Pre-dose Baseline Cough Severity CSD (Periods 1 & 2 Combined)
Hide Description The daily CSD Score is calculated using the daily CSD instrument, a 7-item, disease specific, patient-reported outcome measure with a recall period of "today" (the current day). The measure evaluates frequency of cough (3 items); intensity of cough (2 items); and sleep disruption due to cough (2 items). Each of these 7 items is rated on an 11-point scale, ranging from 0 (best) to 10 (worst), with higher scores indicating greater severity. The total daily CSD score is the sum of these 7 item scores (Min=0, Max=70). Baseline CSD score = average of CSD scores at screening and baseline.
