o for the primary endpoint, FEV1 AUC 0-12. The safety and efficacy of Perforomist(TM) Inhalation Solution observed in this study were comparable to those of Foradil(R). Additionally, patients treated with Perforomist(TM) Inhalation Solution used less rescue albuterol throughout the 12-week treatment period compared to patients treated with placebo.

Perforomist(TM) Inhalation Solution was approved by the FDA on May 11 for long-term, twice-daily maintenance of bronchoconstriction for emphysema and chronic bronchitis, also known as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
