Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the effects of extra fine particle formoterol (Atimos) with coarse particle salmeterol (Serevent) on small airway function;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): Change in R5-R20 as change from baseline after first dose;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 hours | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Remaining IOS variables (R5,R20,X5,AX,RF) Change in R5-R20 from baseline after chronic dosing Area under the curve for IOS and spirometry from 0 to 60 min (AUC0–60) Spirometry (FEV1, FEF 25-75, FVC) Domiciliary PEF ACQ FeNO;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After single dose (24 hours after first dose) and after chronic dosing (1 to 2 weeks after the first dose) | — |
