Abstract
Objective: This study examined the clinical relevance of fine-particle mass (FPM) delivered from metered dose inhalers (MDIs) to bronchodilatation and bronchoprotection against methacholine challenge by comparing a marketed chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) formulation of salmeterol with an investigational hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) formulation. Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-way crossover study in patients with mild to moderate asthma who had a forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1) of
