Primary Outcome Measures

Area Under the Curve (AUC[0-6h]) of Post-Dose FEV1 Percentage Change (∆%FEV1) from the Same-Day Pre-Dose Baseline
The forced expiratory volume in the 1st second (FEV1) is measured with a clinically accepted model of spirometer. Subjects perform a pre-dose baseline FEV1 prior to dosing and perform subsequent FEV1 tests at 5, 15 and 30 minutes and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours after dosing during each treatment period. Area under the curve (AUC), from baseline to 6 hours post-dose, for the treatment period is calculated using the trapezoidal rule. Statistical analysis is performed using a one-sided t-test.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study evaluates the efficacy, dose-ranging and safety profiles of A006, an Albuterol dry powder inhaler (DPI), in the dose range of 110 to 220 mcg per dose in comparison to a DPI Placebo Control and an Albuterol metered dose inhaler (MDI) Active Control.
Detailed Description
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety profiles of A006 and to assist in identifying the optimum dose of A006 for future clinical studies. Proventil® HFA MDI, a currently marketed Albuterol MDI product, will be used as an Active Control. The study also employs a Placebo Control DPI, which has the same configuration as the A006 DPI except that it contains no active ingredient.
