*For example, when averaging over time on treatment, the minimum average ΔFEV1 was -1180 ml and the maximum was 1966 ml; between these points, 5% observations were less than or equal to -213 ml and half were less than or equal to 82 ml; ΔFEV1, change from baseline in trough forced expiratory volume in 1 second.
