- Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) 5 Minutes After Morning Dose [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from baseline in PEF was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and all days of treatment, with baseline as covariate.
- PEF Before Morning Dose [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from baseline was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with baseline as covariate.
- PEF 15 Minutes After Morning Dose [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from baseline was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with baseline as covariate.
- PEF Before Evening Dose [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from baseline was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with baseline as covariate.
- Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Before Morning Dose [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from baseline was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with baseline as covariate.
- FEV1 15 Minutes After Morning Dose [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from baseline was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with baseline as covariate.
- FEV1 Before Evening Dose [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from baseline was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with baseline as covariate.
- Change in PEF From Before Dose to 5 Minutes After Dose in the Morning [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from pre-dose was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with pre-dose run-in/washout as covariate.
- Change in PEF From Before Dose to 15 Minutes After Dose in the Morning [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from pre-dose was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with mean pre-dose run-in/washout as covariate.
- Change in FEV1from Before Dose to 5 Minutes After Dose in the Morning [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from pre-dose was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with mean pre-dose run-in/washout as covariate.
- Change in FEV1 From Before Dose to 15 Minutes After Dose in the Morning [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from pre-dose was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with mean pre-dose run-in/washout as covariate.
- Change in FEV1 From Before Dose to 5 Minutes After Dose at the Clinic [ Time Frame: Baseline (run-in, and washout) and day 1 of treatment period ]The change from pre-dose was calculated using the pre-dose baseline value (run-in and washout period respectively), and pre-dose value at day 1, with pre-dose run-in/washout as covariate.
- Change in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) From Before Dose to5 Minutes After Dose at the Clinic [ Time Frame: Baseline (run-in, and washout) and day 1 of treatment period ]The change from pre-dose was calculated using the pre-dose baseline value (run-in and washout period respectively), and pre-dose value at day 1, with pre-dose run-in/washout as covariate.
- Capacity of Daily Living in the Morning (CDLM) (Change From Pre to End of Treatment) [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from baseline was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with baseline as covariate. Score scale 0 - 5 with 0=worst and 5 = best.
- Difficulty in Getting Out From Bed (MASQ) (Change From Pre to End of Treatment) [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from baseline was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with baseline as covariate. Score scale 0 - 5 with 0=worst and 5 = best.
- The Clinical Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Questionnaire (Change From Pre to End of Treatment) [ Time Frame: Baseline (daily records during run-in, and washout) and daily records during the treatment period of 7 days ]The change from baseline was calculated using the average over baseline (the last 7 days of run-in and washout period respectively), and over all days of treatment, with baseline as covariate. Score scale 0 - 6 with 0=worst and 6 = best.
