- Change From Baseline in Morning Pre-dose Trough FEV1 at Week 24 (BFF MDI Versus FF MDI) [ Time Frame: at Week 24 ]Change from baseline in morning pre-dose trough FEV1 (Forced expiratory volume in 1 second) at Week 24 (BFF MDI versus FF MDI)
- Change From Baseline in FEV1 AUC0-4 (BFF MDI vs BD MDI) [ Time Frame: at Week 24 ]Changes from baseline in FEV1 AUC0-4 were normalized by taking the area under the curve value and dividing by the length of time under consideration (usually 4 hours). This normalization represents a weighted average of the change from baseline in FEV1 over the 4-hour period.
- Time to First Moderate or Severe COPD Exacerbation (BFF MDI vs FF MDI). [ Time Frame: over 24 Weeks (timepoints of 4, 12 & 20 weeks) ]Time to first moderate or severe COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) exacerbation (BFF MDI vs FF MDI).
- Percentage of Subjects Achieving an MCID (Minimal Clinically Important Difference) of 4 Units or More in SGRQ at Week 24 [ Time Frame: at Week 24 ]The SGRQ (St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire) is a disease-specific questionnaire, self-completed by participants, used to evaluate the effect of BFF MDI, FF MDI, BD MDI, & Symbicort TBH on health-related quality of life as compared to placebo in subjects with COPD. The scores range from 0 (minimum, best possible health status) to 100 (maximum, worst possible health status). The SGRQ contains 76 items grouped into three domains (symptoms, activity and impacts). Change from Baseline at a particular visit was calculated as the SGRQ total score at that visit minus Baseline. Change from Baseline in total score of -4 units or lower is considered as clinically meaningful improvement in quality of life.
- Change From Baseline in Morning Pre-dose Trough FEV1 at Week 24 (BFF MDI vs BD MDI) [ Time Frame: at Week 24 ]Change from baseline in morning pre-dose trough FEV1(Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second) at Week 24 (BFF MDI vs BD MDI)
- Peak Change From Baseline in FEV1 at Week 24 (BFF MDI vs BD MDI) [ Time Frame: at Week 24 ]Peak change from baseline in FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second) at Week 24 (BFF MDI vs BD MDI)
- Change From Baseline in Average Daily Rescue Ventolin HFA Use Over 24 Weeks (BFF MDI vs BD MDI) [ Time Frame: over 24 Weeks ]Change from baseline in average daily rescue Ventolin HFA use over 24 weeks (BFF MDI vs BD MDI)
- FEV1 on Day 1, 5 Minutes, Time to Onset of Action Determination [ Time Frame: Day 1 - 5 Minutes ]Time to onset of action Day 1 was evaluated by calculating change from baseline in FEV1 at each post-dose timepoint (5min, 15min, 30min, 1hr, 2hr, and 4hr), then comparing each treatment to BD MDI 320 ug. The first timepoint a statistically significant difference from BD MDI 320 ug of ≥100mL was determined to be time of onset for that treatment.
- FEV1 on Day 1, 15 Minutes, Time to Onset of Action Determination [ Time Frame: Day 1 - 15 Minutes ]Time to onset of action Day 1 was evaluated by calculating change from baseline in FEV1 at each post-dose timepoint (5min, 15min, 30min, 1hr, 2hr, and 4hr), then comparing each treatment to BD MDI 320 ug. The first timepoint a statistically significant difference from BD MDI 320 ug of ≥100mL was determined to be time of onset for that treatment.
- FEV1 on Day 1, 30 Minutes, Time to Onset of Action Determination [ Time Frame: Day 1 - 30 Minutes ]Time to onset of action Day 1 was evaluated by calculating change from baseline in FEV1 at each post-dose timepoint (5min, 15min, 30min, 1hr, 2hr, and 4hr), then comparing each treatment to BD MDI 320 ug. The first timepoint a statistically significant difference from BD MDI 320 ug of ≥100mL was determined to be time of onset for that treatment.
- FEV1 on Day 1, 1 Hour, Time to Onset of Action Determination [ Time Frame: Day 1 - 1 Hour ]Time to onset of action Day 1 was evaluated by calculating change from baseline in FEV1 at each post-dose timepoint (5min, 15min, 30min, 1hr, 2hr, and 4hr), then comparing each treatment to BD MDI 320 ug. The first timepoint a statistically significant difference from BD MDI 320 ug of ≥100mL was determined to be time of onset for that treatment.
- FEV1 on Day 1, 2 Hours, Time to Onset of Action Determination [ Time Frame: Day 1 - 2 Hours ]Time to onset of action Day 1 was evaluated by calculating change from baseline in FEV1 at each post-dose timepoint (5min, 15min, 30min, 1hr, 2hr, and 4hr), then comparing each treatment to BD MDI 320 ug. The first timepoint a statistically significant difference from BD MDI 320 ug of ≥100mL was determined to be time of onset for that treatment.
- FEV1 on Day 1, 4 Hours, Time to Onset of Action Determination [ Time Frame: Day 1 - 4 Hours ]Time to onset of action Day 1 was evaluated by calculating change from baseline in FEV1 at each post-dose timepoint (5min, 15min, 30min, 1hr, 2hr, and 4hr), then comparing each treatment to BD MDI 320 ug. The first timepoint a statistically significant difference from BD MDI 320 ug of ≥100mL was determined to be time of onset for that treatment.
- Substudy: 12-hour PFT Endpoint FEV1 AUC0-12 [ Time Frame: at Week 12 ]Substudy: 12-hour PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) endpoint FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume) AUC0-12 (Area under the Curve 0-12). Changes from baseline in FEV1 AUC0-12 were normalized by taking the area under the curve value and dividing by the length of time under consideration. This normalization represents a weighted average of the change from baseline in FEV1 over the 12-hour period.
