Limitations and caveats
Due to early termination of study, none of the subjects completed the study as planned. Subjects active at the time of study termination completed an end-of-study assessment and a 3-month follow-up visit.

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1)Baseline through Extension Follow-up Month 3Change from Baseline: mean of (value of observed forced expiratory volume in the first second of forced exhalation \[FEV1\] in liters \[L\] at observation minus Baseline value).
PrimarySummary of ≥ 15% Decliners in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1)Month 3 through Extension Follow-up 3
Number of subjects with a post-baseline Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) decrease of ≥ 15 % \[(baseline observed value minus visit observed value)/(baseline observed value) \* 100\]; in the absence of an obvious intercurrent illness, a repeat FEV1 was performed.
PrimaryChange From Baseline in Carbon Monoxide Diffusion Capacity (DLco)Baseline through Extension Follow-up Month 3Change from Baseline: mean of (value of Carbon Monoxide Diffusing Capacity \[DLco\] measured in milliters/minutes/millimeters of mercury \[mL/min/mmHg\] at observation minus Baseline value).
PrimarySummary of ≥ 20% Decliners in Carbon Monoxide Diffusing Capacity (DLco).Month 3 through Extension Follow-up Month 3
Number of subjects with a post-baseline Carbon Monoxide Diffusing Capacity (DLco) decrease of ≥ 20% \[(baseline observed value minus visit observed value)/(baseline observed value) \* 100\]; in the absence of an obvious intercurrent illness, a repeat DLco was performed.
PrimaryAnnual Rate of Change in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)Week -2 through Extension Follow-up Month 6 or end of studyAnnual rate of change in FEV1 calculated as slope over time \[visit\] for forced expiratory volume in 1 second measured as liters per year (L/yr).
PrimaryAnnual Rate of Change in Carbon Monoxide Diffusion Capacity (DLco)Week -2 through Extension Follow-up Month 6 or end of studyAnnual rate of change in DLco calculated as slope over time (visit) measured as milliliters per minute per millimeters of hemoglobin per year (ml/min/mmHg/yr).
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)Baseline through Extension Follow-up Month 3Change from Baseline: mean of (value of Glycosylated Hemoglobin \[HbA1c\] at observation minus Baseline value).
SecondaryHypoglycemic Event RatesMonth 1 through Extension Month 39
A Hypoglycemic event was identified by characteristic symptoms of hypoglycemia with no blood glucose check with prompt resolution with food intake, subcutaneous glucagon, or intravenouus glucose; characteristic symptoms with blood glucose of 59 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) (3.2 mmol/L) or less with blood glucose check; or any glucose measurement of 49 mg/dL (2.7 mmol/L) or less, with or without symptoms. Subject months = elapsed number of months a subject was in the study in each time interval. Crude event rate = total events divided by subject month of treatment.
SecondarySevere Hypoglycemic Event RatesMonth 1 through Extension Month 39
Severe hypoglycemic event = all 3 of the following criteria were met: subject unable to treat self, exhbited at least 1 neurological symptom (memory loss, confusion, uncontrollable behavior, irrational behavior, unusual difficulty in awakening, suspected seizure, loss of consciousness); and blood glucose measurement was ≤49 mg/dL, or not measured but clinical manifestations reversed by oral carbohydrates, subcutaneous glucagon, or i.v. glucose. Subject months = elapsed number of months subject was in study in each time interval. Crude event rate = total events divided by subject months \* 100.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Fasting Plasma GlucoseBaseline through Extension Follow-up Month 3Change from Baseline: mean of (value of fasting plasma glucose \[milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)\] at observation minus Baseline value).

Full Analysis Set (FAS) FEV1: received at least 1 dose of study drug, had a Baseline FEV1, and at least 1 post-baseline FEV1. Due to study termination, originally planned inferential analysis for change from Month 3 through extension Month 60 was not done. Cross reference outcome measure: change from baseline in FEV1.
