- Rate of Change of Adjusted Lung Density [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]As measured by centralized, standardized computer tomographic (CT) lung densitometry. CT scans were acquired at 2 inspiration states: TLC (Total Lung Capacity; ie, full inspiration) and FRC (Functional Residual Capacity; ie, full expiration). Results were adjusted for total lung volume and are presented as point estimates for the average rate of decline in the early start and delayed start subgroups from a linear random regression model with country, inspiration state (only for 'TLC and FRC state'), time (time elapsed since Day 1 [CE1226_4001]), treatment and treatment by time interaction as fixed effects and subject and subject by time interaction as random coefficients.
- Absolute Change in Adjusted Lung Density [ Time Frame: From baseline to 2 years ]Absolute change from baseline to 2 years as measured by centralized, standardized CT lung densitometry. CT scans were acquired at 2 inspiration states: TLC (ie, full inspiration) and FRC (ie, full expiration). Results were adjusted for total lung volume and are presented as point estimates for the average absolute change in the early start and delayed start subgroups from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with country, treatment, and baseline lung density as fixed effects and inspiration state as a repeated random effect. The baseline is the last assessment from the preceding study CE1226_4001.
- Percent Change in Adjusted Lung Density [ Time Frame: From baseline to 2 years ]Percent change from baseline to 2 years as measured by centralized, standardized CT lung densitometry. CT scans were acquired at 2 inspiration states: TLC (ie, full inspiration) and FRC (ie, full expiration). Results were adjusted for total lung volume and are presented as point estimates for the average percent change in the early start and delayed start subgroups from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with country, treatment, and baseline lung density as fixed effects and inspiration state as a repeated random effect. The baseline is the last assessment from the preceding study CE1226_4001.
- Change in Subject-reported Symptoms [ Time Frame: From baseline to 2 years ]Patient-reported symptoms were measured using the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). SGRQ total, symptoms, activity and impact scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more limitations, and change from baseline below zero (0) is favorable, indicating improvement.
- Percent Change in Lung Function as Measured by Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) [ Time Frame: From baseline up to 2 years ]
- Percent Change in Lung Function as Measured by Ratio of FEV1/FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) [ Time Frame: From baseline up to 2 years ]
- Percent Change in Lung Function as Measured by Percent Predicted FEV1 [ Time Frame: From baseline up to 2 years ]
- Number of Subjects With Pulmonary Exacerbations [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
- Annual Rate in Subject Years of Pulmonary Exacerbations [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Annual exposure-adjusted incidence rate of pulmonary exacerbations.
- Time to First Pulmonary Exacerbation [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
- Percentage of Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: From baseline up to 2.5 years ]Percentage of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs): overall, by severity, by relatedness, by seriousness, and which occurred within 24 hours of Zemaira administration.
