-- "Efficacy and Safety of Formoterol Fumarate Delivered by Nebulization
to COPD Patients," published in the February 2008 issue of Respiratory
Medicine, detailed pivotal Phase III data that supported the NDA
approval for Perforomist(TM) (formoterol fumarate) Inhalation Solution.
The study demonstrated that Perforomist(TM) Inhalation Solution has a
rapid onset of significant bronchodilation within five minutes of
administration and is safe and effective. The study assessed the
efficacy and safety of Perforomist(TM) Inhalation Solution in 351
adults with moderate-to-severe COPD. Nicholas J. Gross, MD, PhD, Hines
VA Hospital, Stricht Loyola School of Medicine, was lead author and
principal investigator of the study.

"Cardiac Safety Profile of Nebulized Formoterol in Adults with COPD: A
12-Week, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Placebo-
and Active-Controlled Trial," the data showed that Perforomist(TM)
Inhalation Solution was associated with rapid and sustained improvement
in pulmonary function with no clinically significant cardiac effects,
