Trial Outcomes

Change in Lung Function (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)

"FEV1 was obtained using calibrated spirometers at approximately the same time of day at all visits throughout the study. The highest acceptable FEV1 and the highest FVC measurement each obtained on any of three blows (even if not from the same curve) meeting the American Thoracic Society criteria constituted the data for that test set.~Not all participants had Day 14 FEV1 measures collected" (NCT00789997)
