Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate lung function as assessed by AM PEF AUC relative to baseline [AUC(bl)] in subjects who have the B16 Arg/Arg genotype compared with that of subjects who have the B16 Gly/Gly genotype over 16 weeks of treatment with FSC DISKUS 100/50mcg BID.;Secondary Objective: Evaluate lung function by testing morning peak expiratory flow in patients with a Arg/Gly genotype compared to patients with a Arg/Arg or a Gly/Gly genotype over 16 weeks of treatment with ADVAIR and/or SEREVENT ;Primary end point(s): The primary measure of efficacy was area under the curve describing AM PEF relative to baseline [AUC(bl)] over the 16 week double-blind treatment period. The primary comparison of interest was between the Arg/Arg and Gly/Gly genotypes in the FSC treatment group.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 16 weeks. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary measures of efficacy included area under the curve describing PM PEF relative to baseline [AUC(bl)] and pre-dose FEV1. Other secondary measures were change from baseline in percent of symptom free days, and supplemental ipratropium bromide use.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Percent of days symptom free. | — |
