Measure
Albuterol
Initially 4 mg daily for one week, 4 mg BID (twice a day) per oral for the next 5 weeks. If the 4 mg BID per oral is well tolerated, the dose will be increased to 8 mg each morning/4 mg each evening for one week, followed by 8 mg BID per oral for the remainder of the study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 30, and Week 52

Population: One subject dropped out from the albuterol group. Later participants were unblinded and switched to drug before Week 52 under an IRB (Institutional Review Board) approved amendment, and 4 late-enrolled drug and 3 late-enrolled placebo subjects could not be included in the analysis at Week 52.

FVC (forced vital capacity) is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 52

Population: Early participants were not randomized until 6 weeks; 3 drug and 2 placebo subjects could not be included in the analysis. One drug subject missed the Week 6 visit, and one placebo subject could not perform the 6 minute walk test. Later participants were unblinded before Week 52. Four drug and 3 placebo subjects could not be included at Week 52.

The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity. Assessed by physical therapist.
