Change from baseline in mean weekly morning peak expiratory flow at 16 weeks. Baseline is defined as the last week prior to the randomisation visit

The Full analysis set (FAS) included patients who received at least one dose of randomised study medication and who had at least four patient diary records for at least one efficacy endpoint in any week after the first administration of the randomised treatment and baseline data for the corresponding efficacy endpoint.

Systolic blood pressure collected in conjunction with spirometry at 6 weeks

Treated set. Some patients discontinued the trial between Visits. Thus these patients are in the efficacy analysis for the respective period (are added in the participant flow) but they have no safety blood pressure/pulse rate measurements, because blood pressure and pulse rate were measured at Visits
