- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Peak expiratory flow (PEF) 28 days Mean change from baseline in daily trough (pre study treatment and pre bronchodilator) PEF during the 28 day treatment period with GW685698X 100mcg once daily in the morning compared with GW685698X 100mcg once daily in the evening by inhalation via DISKHALER.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Peak expiratory flow (PEF) 28 days Mean change from baseline in daily trough (pre study treatment and pre bronchodilator) PEF during the 28 day treatment period with GW685698X 250mcg once daily compared with GW685698X 100mcg once daily both administered in the evening by inhalation via DISKHALER.
PEF 28 days Mean change from baseline in daily trough (pre study treatment and pre bronchodilator) PEF during the 28 day treatment period with GW685698X 100mcg once daily in the morning, 100mcg once daily in the evening, or GW685698X 250mcg once daily in the evening, compared with placebo
Clinic lung function 28 days Change from baseline in pre bronchodilator clinic lung function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second \[FEV1\] and PEF) after 28 days of treatment with GW685698X 250mcg once daily in the evening compared with GW685698X 100mcg once daily in the evening
