What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs)

    The number of patient with any AEs, patients with drug-related AEs

    Time frame: Week 52

Secondary outcomes

  1. Effectiveness

    Effectiveness should be comprehensively investigated based on the items of patients observation, test results of FEV1, clinical symptoms. The Effectiveness is classified into 3 category, 'Improved', 'No change' and 'Aggravated' by physician.

    Time frame: Week 52

  2. Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1)

    FEV1 is observed at Week 0 and Week 52. The change of FEV1 from Week 0 to Week 52 is calculated.

    Time frame: Week 0 and Week 52

  3. Cough Frequency

    Cough frequency is rating 1 to 4 score based on patient's diary: 1=None; 2=A few times; 3=Frequently; 4=Very frequently.

    Time frame: Week 0 and Week 52

  4. Amount of Sputum

    Amount of Sputum is rating 1 to 4 score based on patient's diary: 1= None; 2= Slight; 3=Slightly more; 4= Very much.

    Time frame: Week 0 and Week 52

  5. Shortness of Breath

    Shortness of Breath is rating 1 to 6 score based on patient's diary: 1=No shortness of breath and no problem in activity in daily life (ADL); 2=Despite shortness of breath, can move about like other people of the same age and no problem in ADL; 3=Can walk fast for a short time but activities like other people of the same age are not possible; 4=Can walk normally, go up the stairs slowly but quick motion is difficult; 5=Can walk slowly in the neighborhood but shortness of breath occurs; 6= Due to severe shortness of breath, rested at home all day.

    Time frame: Week 0 and Week 52

  6. Nocturnal Sleep

    Nocturnal Sleep is rating 1 to 5 score based on patient's diary: 1=Sputum and cough hardly made me awake; 2=Sputum and cough only one time made me awake; 3=Sputum and cough 2 or 3 times made me awake; 4=Sputum and cough 4 to 6 times made me awake; 5=Sputum and cough made me awake all night.

    Time frame: Week 0 and Week 52
