Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Distance Walked in the 6-minute Walk TestFrom baseline to Day 14

Change in distance walked was defined as (distance walked in 6 minutes at baseline \[Day 0\]) - (distance walked in 6 minutes at Day 14) in meters.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Pulmonary Function as Measured by FEV1 and FVCFrom baseline to Day 14

FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) and FVC (forced vital capacity) were recorded at Day 0 (baseline) and Day 14. Change in FEV1 and FVC from baseline to Day 14 was reported as a percentage of values predicted for age, height, and race.
