Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • body composition [ Time Frame: day 1 and 19 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change in body composition from baseline to day 19

  • Isometric maximum handgrip force [ Time Frame: day 1, day 19 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    change in isometric max. handgrip force from baseline to day 19

  • BODE-Score [ Time Frame: day 1, day 19 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change in Bode-Score from baseline to day 19

  • Lung function [ Time Frame: day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Arterial blood gas [ Time Frame: day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Brain Natruretic Peptide (BNP) [ Time Frame: day 1, day 19 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    change in BNP from baseline to day 19
