Notes: aPossibly, probably, or definitely related in the opinion of the investigator. bConfirmed by clinical endpoint committee. cOne confirmed case of pneumonia in the BGF MDI group was reported under the preferred term of interstitial lung disease, and therefore was not categorized as a TEAE of pneumonia. dWorsening of COPD. eSpontaneously reported as adverse events; not confirmed by clinical endpoint committee.
