Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Area under the curve (AUC) 0-12 hours for FEV1 following 12 weeks of treatment
Area under the curve (AUC) 0-12 hours for Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) following 12 weeks of treatment. AUC will be calculated using the trapezoidal rule and standardized with respect to length of time from the first 5 minute to the last measurement at 12 hours.
12 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (9)
