Maximal FEV1 During the 12-hour Study Period

Pulmonary function tests consisted of 3 forced expiratory maneuvers in which the patient expired forcefully from total lung capacity to residual volume, recorded using a spirometer. FEV1 was measured at 3, 9, 15, 60, 120, 180, 240, 360, 480, 600 and 720 minutes post administration of randomized study medication. The maximum FEV1 value was defined as the largest observed FEV1 value recorded during each 12-hour serial spirometry procedure.

Urinary Excretion of Formoterol During the 12 Hours Following Inhalation of Study Drug

The amount of formoterol excreted unchanged in urine over the 12-hour period after administration [Ae(0-12h)] was calculated from the concentration of formoterol in urine multiplied by the total volume of urine collected. Volume was determined from the weight of the collected urine times an assumed urine density of 1020 g/L. The data for six patients who did not have measurable formoterol in their urine on the Foradil 12 μg treatment day was excluded from the analysis. All other urine concentrations below the lower limit of quantification were set to zero. One subject was incorrectly administered BUD 160/ formoterol (FM) 9.0 rather than BUD 160/ Foradil 12.0 at Period 4.

Average 12 Hour Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)

Pulmonary function tests consisted of 3 forced expiratory maneuvers in which the patient expired forcefully from total lung capacity to residual volume, recorded using a spirometer. FEV1 was obtained from the full expiratory flow-volume-time curve. FEV1 was measured at 3, 9, 15, 60, 120, 180, 240, 360, 480, 600 and 720 minutes post administration of randomized study medication. Twelve-hour serial FEV1 was calculated through an AUC determination and then divided by time, so that the final value is expressed in liters. One subject was incorrectly administered BUD 160/ formoterol (FM) 9.0 rather than BUD 160/ Foradil 12.0 at Period 4.

Body Plethysmography - SRaw

"SRaw = Specific airway resistance: also called volumic airway resistance. sRaw is a corrected index (Raw multiplied by thoracic gas volume) that describes airway behaviour regardless of lung volume. Normal values of sRaw in adult subjects have never been formally defined.~sRaw is the product of Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) and Airways Resistance (Raw) and can be calculated from the relationship of plethysmographic box pressure (Pbox) to flow during spontaneous breathing.~sRaw can be derived from the tangent of the slope of box Pressure/Flow. Since Raw has a strong inverse relationship to lung volume, sRaw provides a relatively stable index with which to distinguish effects of disease from those of growth and development. sRaw is significantly increased in asthmatic patients, in those with wheezing disorders, and cystic fibrosis. It has also been shown to be a useful outcome measure for bronchodilator responsiveness studies." (NCT02227394)

Number of Deposited Particles Per Pre-defined Airway Section

To evaluate the particle deposition in the lungs, the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) was used. With CFD, based on the computed tomography (CT) derived geometries of the airways, it is possible to measure the resistance of all airways or subdivisions such as the smaller airways starting from the 3rd bifurcation onwards. The three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction in this CT-based imaging technique allows for an accurate measurement of local volume changes in the central and peripheral airways after the administration of the product. The increased sensitivity of this technique makes it possible to detect changes in airway caliber in early stages of asthma. (NCT02227394)

FEV1 Area Under the Curve (AUC) (0-10 h) at D1 of Each TP

FEV1 is the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. FEV1 AUC (0 to 10h) was measured at beginning of each TP. AUC was derived using values observed at the following timepoints: 0 minute (pre-morning dosing), 5 minutes (m), 15m, 30m, 1, 2, 5, and 10h; post morning dosing FEV1 values on D1 of each TP. Pre-dose was taken as, 0h timepoint on the visit of interest, and all subsequent timepoints were calculated relative to that timepoint. FEV1 AUC was analysed using mixed effects ANCOVA model fitting terms for subject-level (SL) BL, Adjusted period-specific(PS) BL, treatment group and period, with participant as random effect.

FEV1 is maximal amount of air, forcefully exhaled in one second. Trough FEV1 is defined as morning prebronchodilator and predose: 12 hours (h) after last evening dose D28 at end of each TP. Measured by spirometer in morning, before using bronchodilator and pre-dosing at wk1 D1 and wk4 D29 of each TP and test was performed within 30 minutes prior to dosing. Change from BL was analysed using mixed effects ANCOVA model fitting terms for subject-level (SL) BL, Adjusted period-specific (PS) BL, treatment group and period, with participant as random effect. PS BL value is pre-dose assessment collected on D1 of each TP. SL BL is arithmetic mean of PS BL values of participant. If only one of PS BL value is missing for participant, SL BL took value of other BL. If both PS BL values were missing, SL BL was set to missing. Period level BL=PS BL - associated SL BL.

Number of Participants With Any On-treatment Adverse Event (AE) and Serious Adverse Event (SAE) in the Treatment Period

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. These included an exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition. A SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly; or all events of possible drug-induced liver injury. Abnormal and clinically significant laboratory test results were also recorded as an AE or SAE. COPD exacerbations were an expected disease-related outcome and were not to be recorded as an AE, unless they met the definition of an SAE. Participants were not to be withdrawn from the study due to COPD exacerbations and their evaluation was an efficacy endpoint. (NCT02345161)

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. These included an exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition. A SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly; or all events of possible drug-induced liver injury. Abnormal and clinically significant laboratory test results were also recorded as an AE or SAE. COPD exacerbations were an expected disease-related outcome and were not to be recorded as an AE, unless they met the definition of an SAE. Participants were not to be withdrawn from the study due to COPD exacerbations and their evaluation was an efficacy endpoint. (NCT02345161)

Change From Baseline in Heart Rate at Week 24

A single 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and rhythm strip were recorded after measurement of vital signs and spirometry. Recordings were made at Screening (Visit 1) and approximately 15-45 minutes after dosing on treatment Week 4 and Week 24 or IP Discontinuation Visit. Change from Baseline in ECG heart rate was summarized for each post-Baseline assessment up to Week 24. Change from Baseline was calculated as the individual post-Baseline value at Week 24 minus the Baseline value. Baseline value is defined as the most recent individual value prior to randomization (generally Screening but could be a test repeat). All ECG measurements were made with the participants in a supine position having rested in this position for approximately 5 minutes before each reading. (NCT02345161)

Mean Annual On-treatment Moderate and/or Severe COPD Exacerbations up to Week 24

The mean annual moderate and severe COPD exacerbations during the treatment (trt) period (per participant [par.] per year) was assessed. The event rate for exacerbations was calculated as the number of events x 1000 divided by the total participant exposure during the time-period of interest. An exacerbation of COPD, is defined as the worsening of two or more major symptoms (dyspnea, sputum volume, sputum purulence [color]) for at least two consecutive days; or the worsening of any one major symptom together with any one of the minor symptoms (sore throat, cold, fever without other cause, increased cough, increased wheeze) for at least two consecutive days. Analysis performed using a generalised linear model assuming a negative binomial distribution and covariates of treatment group, exacerbation history (0, 1, >=2 moderate/severe), smoking status (screening), geographical region and post-bronchodilator percent predicted FEV1 (day 1).

Transitional Dyspnea Index (TDI) Focal Score Expressed as Least Square Mean at Week 24

The TDI measures change in the participant's dyspnoea from Baseline. The scores in both indexes depend on ratings for three different categories: functional impairment; magnitude of task; and magnitude of effort. Each of these scales had a possible score ranging from -6 (major deterioration) to +6 (major improvement). TDI focal score was calculated as the sum of the three individual scores and then divided by 2 (so the range of the TDI focal score is -9 to +9). TDI was measured at Week 4 and Week 24. Analysis performed using a repeated measures model with covariates of treatment group, smoking status (screening), geographical region, visit, BDI focal score, BDI focal score by visit and treatment by visit interactions.

The SGRQ-C is a disease-specific questionnaire designed to measure the impact of respiratory disease and its treatment on a COPD participant's health-related quality of life (HRQoL). SGRQ-C total score was converted to SGRQ total score (ranging from 0-100) according to manual. In addition to an overall summary (total) score, scores for the individual domains of Symptoms, Activity, and Impacts (each ranging from 0-100) are produced. A decrease in score indicated improvement in quality of life. The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for this instrument is a 4-point improvement (decrease from Baseline). Baseline was defined as the value obtained predose on Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as total score at Week 24 minus the Baseline value. The analysis for SGRQ total score was performed using a MMRM method including covariates of treatment group, smoking status (screening), geographical region, visit, baseline, baseline by visit and treatment by visit interactions (NCT02345161)

Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) at Week 24

FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. Trough FEV1 at Week 24 was defined as the FEV1 values obtained prior to morning dose of the study treatment. Baseline was defined as the value obtained predose (0 minutes) on Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the pre-dose measurement at Week 24 minus the Baseline value. The analysis was performed using a mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) method including covariates of treatment group, smoking status (screening), geographical region, visit, baseline, baseline by visit and treatment by visit interactions. ITT Population comprised of all randomized subjects excluding those who were randomized in error. Only participants with analyzable data at the given time point were analyzed. (NCT02345161)

Equivalence Analysis of Baseline-Adjusted Average Predose FEV1 at End of Treatment

FEV1 was measured using spirometry in accordance with the ATS/ERS consensus guidelines. Average predose FEV1 at End of Treatment defined as the average of all predose assessments on Day 42. If a participant had no predose assessment on Day 42, the average of all available predose assessments on the last day (for example, Early Termination visit [up to Day 50]) when at least 1 predose FEV1 assessments was available was imputed, if the participant discontinued due to lack of efficacy, otherwise there was no imputation. Baseline was defined as the average of at least 2 predose FEV1 values obtained on Day 1. The endpoint of baseline-adjusted predose FEV1 at end of treatment was calculated as follows: [FEV1 at end of treatment] - [Baseline FEV1]. (NCT02495168)

Equivalence Analysis of Area Under the Serial FEV1-Time Effect Curve From Time 0 to 12 Hours (FEV1 Area Under Curve [AUC0-12]) on the First Day of Treatment

FEV1 was measured using spirometry in accordance with the ATS/ERS consensus guidelines. Baseline-adjusted area under the serial FEV1-time curve was calculated from Time 0 to 12 hours on the first day of the Treatment Period (Day 1). FEV1 AUC0-12 was calculated from baseline-adjusted values using the linear trapezoidal method. The calculation assumed that at time of dosing (Time 0) the baseline adjusted FEV1 was also 0. The calculation proceeded over all available post-dose FEV1 assessments on Day 1 (including unscheduled time points, if any) using actual elapsed time from dosing. FEV1 baseline defined as the average of predose FEV1 values obtained on Day 1. If some of these values were missing, the average was calculated using the available values, however, a minimum of 2 predose FEV1 values were required; participants who had only 1 or no predose FEV1 measurements on Day 1 would have their FEV1 baseline missing, and the participant was to be excluded from analysis.

"Examine if recall of device mastery is superior for the SPIROMAX inhaler as compared to the TURBOHALER after training to device mastery on both devices.~The proportion of subjects achieving mastery of inhaler technique between the two inhaler devices was compared using McNemar's test of equality of paired proportions with a 0.050 two- sided significance level. A Conditional Logistic Regression Model was used to quantify the difference between the two inhalers by calculating the odds ratio for achieving mastery for Spiromax® (with Turbohaler® as the reference device) along with a 95% confidence interval for quantifying the precision of the odds ratio estimate."

Percentage of Subjects Achieving an MCID (Minimal Clinically Important Difference) of 4 Units or More in SGRQ 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. (NCT02766608)

Change From Baseline in Trough FEV1 on Day 2, Day 28, Day 84 and Day 85

FEV1 is an important measure of pulmonary function and is the maximum amount of air that can be forced out in one second after taking a deep breath. FEV1 was measured using spirometry. For Day 2 and Day 85, trough FEV1 was defined as the mean of the 23-hour and 24-hour serial spirometry FEV1 measurements. For Day 28 and Day 84, trough FEV1 was defined as the average of the pre-dose FEV1 measurements recorded before the morning dose of randomized study treatment. Change from Baseline in trough FEV1 was calculated by subtracting post-dose trough FEV1 value from Baseline FEV1, where Baseline FEV1 is the average of the two FEV1 measurements made at 30 minutes and 5 minutes pre-dose on Day 1. The treatment effect to be estimated for trough FEV1 was hypothetical effect if all participants stayed on their randomized study treatment. Only on treatment data was included in analysis.

Weighted Mean Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Over 0-24 Hours at Week 12 for Modified Per Protocol (mPP) Population

FEV1 is an important measure of pulmonary function and is the maximum amount of air that can be forced out in one second after taking a deep breath. FEV1 was measured using spirometry. Serial FEV1 assessments were performed at multiple time points (-30 and -5 minutes pre-dose, and 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 15 hours, 21 hours, 23 hours and 24 hours post-dose) over 24-hour period at Week 12. Weighted mean change from Baseline at week 12 was calculated by subtracting weighted mean FEV1 at week 12 from Baseline FEV1, where Baseline FEV1 is the average of the two FEV1 measurements made at 30 minutes and 5 minutes pre-dose on Day 1. The weighted mean was derived by calculating the area under the FEV1 time curve (AUC) over the actual time of assessment relative to the time of dosing (over 24-hour period) using the trapezoidal rule, and then dividing the value by the time interval (24-hour) over which the AUC was calculated.

Weighted mean change from Baseline on Day 1 was calculated by subtracting weighted mean FEV1 on Day 1 from Baseline FEV1, where Baseline FEV1 is the average of the two FEV1 measurements made at 30 minutes and 5 minutes pre-dose on Day 1. The weighted mean was derived by calculating the area under the FEV1 time curve (AUC) over the actual time of assessment relative to the time of dosing (over 24-hour period) using the trapezoidal rule, and then dividing the value by the time interval (24-hour) over which the AUC was calculated.

Change From Baseline in Trough FEV1 on Day 2, Day 28, Day 84 and Day 85

FEV1 is an important measure of pulmonary function and is the maximum amount of air that can be forced out in one second after taking a deep breath. FEV1 was measured using spirometry. For Day 2 and Day 85, trough FEV1 was defined as the mean of the 23-hour and 24-hour serial spirometry FEV1 measurements. For Day 28 and Day 84, trough FEV1 was defined as the average of the pre-dose FEV1 measurements recorded before the morning dose of randomized study treatment. Change from Baseline in trough FEV1 was calculated by subtracting post-dose trough FEV1 value from Baseline FEV1, where Baseline FEV1 is the average of the two FEV1 measurements made at 30 minutes and 5 minutes pre-dose on Day 1. The treatment effect to be estimated for trough FEV1 was hypothetical effect if all participants stayed on their randomized study treatment. Only on treatment data was included in analysis.
