  1. AUC0–24 area under the curve from 0 to 24 h post-dose, AUC0–12 area under the curve from 0 to 12 h post-dose, AUC12–24 area under the curve from 12 to 24 h post-dose, FEV1 forced expiratory volume in 1 s. Values are least squares means (95% confidence interval).
  2. aTwo patients from the placebo group were excluded from the normalized FEV1 AUC12–24 analysis due to missing data. One patient was missing data from 12 to 24 h post-dose and the other from 14 h post-dose. For all other endpoints in this table, all patients exposed to each treatment were included in the analyses
