SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline up to 72 weeks

Based on the change in baseline percent predicted FVC at week 72, patients were assigned to 1 of 5 categories: mild decline (\<10% but \>=0% decline), moderate decline (\<20% but \>=10% decline), severe decline (\>=20% decline), mild improvement (\>0% but \<10% improvement), or moderate improvement (\>=10% improvement). Those who died or had a lung transplant before Week 72 were included in the severe decline category. The results indicate the number of patients who experienced a Categorical Change in Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity.

Progression is defined as the first occurrence of a 10% absolute decline from baseline in percent predicted Forced Vital Capacity, a 15% absolute decline from baseline in percent predicted hemoglobin(Hgb)-corrected carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLco), or, death.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 72

The mean change from baseline to week 72 in Dyspnea score was measured by the University of San Diego Shortness of Breath Questionnaire (UCSD SOBQ). The SOBQ is used to assess shortness of breath with various activities of daily living (for example, brushing ones teeth or mowing the lawn). Patients rated the severity of their shortness of breath experienced on an average day during the past week on a 6 point scale (0 to 5), with 0 = not at all breathless, 4= severely breathless and 5 = Maximally or unable to do because of breathlessness.
