PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to week 12

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) includes all randomized participants. The FAS is based on the treatment allocated (as randomized). Here 'n' = number of evaluable participants at a specified point in time.

CWRET (Constant Work Rate Exercise Test) will be performed on an electromagnetically-braked cycle ergometer in an exercise physiology laboratory overseen by a trained pulmonologist or medical doctor designee.
