What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Period Baseline at Week 2 in Constant Work Rate (CWR) Endurance Time Relative to Placebo

    The CWR defines how long it takes until the participant reaches symptom limitations while simultaneously being monitored and is called "CWR time to intolerance," which determined the "CWR endurance time". Positive change indicates an improvement from baseline (i.e., a favorable outcome).

    Measured: Baseline and week 2 of each treatment period

Secondary outcomes (25)
  1. Change From Period Baseline at Week 2 in Oxygen Uptake (VO2)

    VO2 was defined as volume of O2 extracted from inspired air in a given period of time. VO2 was reported at isotime and peak exercise during CWR test.

    Measured: Baseline and week 2 of each treatment period

  2. Change From Period Baseline at Week 2 in Ventilation (VE)

    VE was defined as volume of gas exhaled from the lungs in 1 minute, also called 'ventilation' or 'minute ventilation. VE was reported at isotime and peak exercise during CWR test.

    Measured: Baseline and week 2 of each treatment period

  3. Change From Period Baseline at Week 2 in Ventilatory Equivalent for Carbon Dioxide (VE/VCO2)

    VE/VCO2 was a ratio of VE to VCO2. It is a dimensionless quantity. This ratio indicates how many liters of air exhaled were breathed to eliminate 1 liter of CO2. VE/VCO2 was reported at isotime and peak exercise during CWR test.

    Measured: Baseline and week 2 of each treatment period

  4. Change From Period Baseline at Week 2 in Inspiratory Capacity (IC) Change From Peak to Rest

    IC was defined as the volume of air that can be inspired after a normal expiration; it is the sum of the tidal volume (VT) and the IRV.

    Measured: Baseline and week 2 of each treatment period

  5. Change From Period Baseline at Week 2 in Perceived Exertion for Dyspnea and Leg Discomfort (BORG CR10)

    The Borg Scale (Borg CR10) is a simple 10-item method of rating perceived exertion and collects information on perceived exertion in an individual's rating of exercise intensity. Participants were asked to use this scale to rate the intensity of their breathing and leg discomfort before, during, and after exercise. Scores range from 0 (Complete Rest) to 10 (Extremely Hard (almost maximal)). BORG CR10 was reported at isotime and peak exercise during CWR test.

    Measured: Baseline and week 2 of each treatment period

  6. Change From Period Baseline at Week 2 in Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER)

    The respiratory exchange ratio is equal to the VCO2 / VO2 [RER = VCO2 (L/min) / VO2 (L/min)]. RER was reported at isotime and peak exercise during CWR test.

    Measured: Baseline and week 2 of each treatment period

  7. Change From Period Baseline at Week 2 in Carbon Dioxide Output (VCO2)

    VCO2 was defined as volume of CO2 exhaled from the body per unit of time; also called the rate of elimination of CO2. VCO2 was reported at isotime and peak exercise during CWR test.

  23. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    TEAEs were defined as any AE that started or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug up to 14 days after the last dose of study drug. An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug or who had undergone study procedures and did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An abnormality identified during a medical test (e.g., laboratory parameter, vital sign, ECG data, physical examination) an AE only if the abnormality meets 1 of the following criteria: Induces clinical signs or symptoms, Requires active intervention, Requires interruption or discontinuation of study drug, The abnormality or test value is clinically significant in the opinion of the inves
