Timeframe: 12 months

Change from baseline of Dyspnea symptoms evaluated using the breathlessness diary, a 5-point Likert-type scale, ranging from 0 to 4 with higher scores indicating a more severe manifestation of the Dyspnea symptom. Change from baseline was calculated by averaging treatment period Dyspnea scores and subtracting the baseline Dyspnea scores.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Change from baseline in the SGRQ overall score, as calculated by averaging treatment period SGRQ scores and subtracting the baseline SGRQ scores. The SGRQ contains 3 domains: Symptoms (distress due to respiratory symptoms, 8 questions), Activity (disturbance of physical activity, 16 questions), and Impacts (overall impact on daily life and well-being, 26 questions). Lower scores are associated with less severe symptoms.
