What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) area under the curve from 0 to 12 hours [AUC(0-12)] from test day baseline across the three doses of inhaled PT005 compared with placebo.

    Time frame: Serial FEV1 measured over 12 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to onset of action (>10% improvement in FEV1 from baseline)

    Time frame: Serial FEV1 measured over 12 hours

  2. Peak FEV1

    Time frame: Serial FEV1 measured over 12 hours

  3. Trough FEV1

    Time frame: Serial FEV1 measured over 12 hours

  4. Peak inspiratory capacity (IC)

    Time frame: Serial IC measured over 12 hours

  5. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)

    Time frame: Serial PEFR measured over 12 hours

  6. Forced vital capacity (FVC)

    Time frame: Serial FVC measured over 12 hours
