Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Daytime Composite Symptom Scorebaseline, week 12

The individual symptoms at each time point to be monitored are: cough, wheeze, and shortness of breath.

The individual symptoms were scored using a four point scale:

0=no symptoms; 1=mild symptoms; 2=moderate symptoms; 3=severe symptoms

Daily composite symptom score is based on the average of the individual symptom scores for a day. Daytime composite symptom score is defined as average of the last 5 days' daily composite symptom scores within the last 7 days immediately preceding the end day of that week. The range for the daytime composite symptom score is 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms). A negative change indicates an improvement of symptoms and a positive change indicates a worsening of symptoms.

Change From Baseline in Nighttime Composite Symptom Scorebaseline, week 12

The individual symptoms at each time point to be monitored are: cough, wheeze, and shortness of breath.

The individual symptoms were scored using a four point scale:

0=no symptoms; 1=mild symptoms; 2=moderate symptoms; 3=severe symptoms

Nightly composite symptom score is based on the average of the individual symptom scores for the night. Nightime composite symptom score is defined as average of the last 5 days' nightly composite symptom scores within the last 7 nights immediately preceding the end day of that week. The range for the nighttime composite symptom score is 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms). A negative change indicates an improvement of symptoms and a positive change indicates a worsening of symptoms.

The individual symptoms at each time point to be monitored are: cough, wheeze, and shortness of breath.

The individual symptoms were scored using a four point scale:

0=no symptoms; 1=mild symptoms; 2=moderate symptoms; 3=severe symptoms

Individual nighttime symptom score is defined as an average of the last 5 nights' individual symptom scores within the last 7 nights immediately preceding the end day of that week. A negative change indicates an improvement of symptoms and a positive change indicates a worsening of symptoms.

Change From Baseline in FEV1% Predictedbaseline, week 12

The forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) is the amount forced of air exhaled in 1 second. The percent predicted is calculated for age, gender, and height. Subjects had to perform at least 3 acceptable maneuvers into a spirometer and the largest volume from the 3 maneuvers was selected. An increase indicates an improvement (a greater volume of air expired).

Change From Baseline in PEFbaseline, week 12

The peak expiratory flow (PEF) is the highest air flow achieved from a maximum forced expiratory maneuver measured in liters of air per minute (L/min). Subjects had to perform at least 3 acceptable maneuvers into a PEF meter. An increase indicates an improvement (a greater volume of air expired).

Change From Baseline in Daytime Individual Symptom Scoresbaseline, week 12

The individual symptoms at each time point to be monitored are: cough, wheeze, and shortness of breath.

The individual symptoms were scored using a four point scale:

0=no symptoms; 1=mild symptoms; 2=moderate symptoms; 3=severe symptoms

Individual Daytime symptom score is defined as an average of the last 5 days' individual symptom scores within the last 7 days immediately preceding the end day of that week. A negative change indicates an improvement of symptoms and a positive change indicates a worsening of symptoms.
