Participant Flow

This study was conducted at 140 activated sites. A total of 121 sites randomised patients. The first patient was screened in Oct 2013 and the last patient visit was in Aug 2014.

Patients fulfilling inclusion/exclusion criteria at the time of the screening visit were entered into a run-in period of 14-21 days to assess disease stability.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At Week 24

Population: ITT population: randomized patients who took at least one dose of IMP and have a baseline FEV1 assessment. PP population: subset of ITT constituted by patients who met all inclusion/exclusion criteria liable to affect the efficacy ssessment, attained sufficient compliance to treatment and did not present serious deviations of the protocol.

Peak FEV1 define at the highest value observed in the 3h after the morning IMP administration

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At Week 24

Population: PP population defined as a subset of ITT constituted by patients who met all inclusion/exclusion criteria liable to affect the efficacy ssessment, attained sufficient compliance to treatment and did not present serious deviations of the protocol.

The TDI includes the same 3 categories as BDI and 7 ratings indicating the magnitude of the change from baseline in each category: from -3 ("major deterioration") to zero ("no change") to +3 ("major improvement"). Category scores are added to compute the Focal Score (from -9 to 9)
