  1. Absolute values and all differences are LS means, with 95% CI for non-inferiority and p values for superiority analysis for all comparisons between treatments. Data shown are for the ITT population.
  2. BD = twice daily; CI = confidence interval; FF = fluticasone furoate;
  3. FP = fluticasone propionate; LS = least square, NA = not applicable; OD = once daily; SE = standard error
