  1. Mean (SD) unless otherwise stated. Reversibility testing was performed following subject self-administration of four puffs (360 μg) albuterol. COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; FEV1= forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FP = fluticasone propionate; ITT = intent-to-treat; SAL = salmeterol; SD = standard deviation.
