Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Number of CD8+ Inflammatory Cells in Bronchial Biopsy Tissue. | 16 weeks | |
| Primary | Change in Number of CD8+ Inflammatory Cells in Bronchial Biopsy Tissue | Baseline to 16 weeks | |
| Secondary | CD68+ Count in Biopsied Material (Submucosa) | 16 weeks | |
| Secondary | CD68+ Cell Count in Biopsied Material (Submucosa): Poisson Regression (Ratio) | 16 weeks | CD68+ Cell Count in Biopsied Material (submucosa): Poisson regression (ratio). Clarification: Measure type described as "Number" refers to "Risk of each treatment group". It is not possible to select "risk" from this template so "number" was selected instead. This issue applies to similar variables reporting poisson regression. |
| Secondary | Change From V2 to V6 in CD68+ Cell Count (Cells/mm^2) in Biopsied Material (Submucosa) (ITT) | Baseline and 16 weeks | |
| Secondary | CD4+ Cell Counts in Biopsied Material (Submucosa):Poisson Regression Model | 16 weeks | CD4+ Cell Counts in biopsied Material (submucosa):poisson regression model. Clarification: Measure type "Number" refers to "Risk of each treatment group". |
| Secondary | CD45+ Cell Counts in Biopsied Material (Submucosa):Poisson Regression Model | 16 weeks | CD45+ Cell Counts in biopsied Material (submucosa):poisson regression model. Clarification: Measure type "Number" refers to "treatment risk" |
| Secondary | Neutrophils Cell Counts in Biopsied Material (Submucosa):Poisson Regression Model | Baseline to 14 weeks | Neutrophils Cell Counts in biopsied Material (submucosa):poisson regression model. Clarification: Measure type "Number" refers to "Treatment risk" |
| Secondary | CD8+ Cell Count in Biopsied Material (Bronchial Epithelium): Poisson Regression Model | 16 weeks | CD8+ Cell Count in biopsied material (Bronchial Epithelium): poisson regression model. Clarification: Measure Type "Number" refers to "Treatment risk" |
| Secondary | CD68+ Cell Count in Biopsied Material (Bronchial Epithelium):Poisson Regression Model | 16 weeks | CD68+ Cell Count in biopsied material (Bronchial Epithelium):poisson regression model. Clarification: Measure type "Number" refers to "Treatment Risk" |

| Type | Outcome | Time frame | Population | Units | Measured as |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRIMARY | Number of CD8+ Inflammatory Cells in Bronchial Biopsy Tissue. | 16 weeks | The CD8+ cells count results in submucosa for the primary outcome were available for 117 patients at V2 (41 missing) and 114 patients at V6 (44 missing). The reason for missing samples was that the sample amount did not reach the minimal area requested per study protocol. See section 11.4.1 in CSR | CD8+ cells count | MEAN |
