Time Point
Primary endpoint
 Time-to-first event: Through 12 months
  Moderate or Severe COPD Exacerbations
Secondary endpoints
 Time-to-first event Through 12 months
  Severe COPD exacerbations
  Respiratory-related hospitalizations
 Changes in quality of life Through 12 months
  SGRQ-C
  CAT Responders
  SF-36 Change
 Changes in dyspnea Through 12 months
  Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI)
 Changes in lung functiona Through 12 months

aChanges in lung function are measured using spirometry (FEV1 and FVC) and plethysmography (RV). Abbreviations: CAT COPD assessment test; FEV1 forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC forced vital capacity; IC inspiratory capacity; SF-36 short form health survey; SGRQ-C St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire COPD version; TLC total lung capacity; TDI transition dyspnea indexes; RV residual volume
