Brief summary:
A study to compare the bronchodilatory effect of a single dose of Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Fumarate (MF/F) pressurized metered dose inhaler (MDI) delivered with and without an AeroChamber Plus® with Flow-Vu® Anti-Static Valved Holding Chamber (spacer) versus Placebo MDI (combined with and without spacer) and formoterol fumarate (F) dry powder inhaler (DPI). Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 6 treatment sequences and each participant was to receive a single dose of each of 4 treatments in each period. Each treatment period was separated by a 5 to 7 day washout period. It assumed that a single dose MF/F MDI 100/10 microgram (mcg) delivered with a spacer would produce bronchodilation, defined as a significant increase in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) area under the curve from 0 to 12 hours (AUC\[0-12 hr\]) when compared to placebo.

Interventions: intervention 1: Formoterol Fumarate DPI intervention 2: Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Fumarate MDI (ex-actuator) without spacer intervention 3: Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Fumarate MDI (ex-actuator) with spacer intervention 4: Placebo MDI with spacer intervention 5: Placebo MDI without spacer intervention 6: Mometasone Furoate DPI
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Two inhalations of Formoterol Fumarate DPI 10 mcg administered as a single dose intervention 2: Two inhalations of Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Fumarate MDI 50/5 mcg administered as a single dose without an AeroChamber Plus® Flow-Vu® Anti-Static Valved Holding Chamber (spacer) intervention 3: Two inhalations of Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Fumarate MDI 50/5 mcg administered as a single dose with an AeroChamber Plus® Flow-Vu® Anti-Static Valved Holding Chamber (spacer) intervention 4: Two inhalations of placebo MDI administered as a single dose with an AeroChamber Plus® Flow-Vu® Anti-Static Valved Holding Chamber (spacer) intervention 5: Two inhalations of placebo MDI administered as a single dose without an AeroChamber Plus® Flow-Vu® Anti-Static Valved Holding Chamber (spacer) intervention 6: Two inhalations of MF DPI 100 mcg administered as a single dose once daily at night. Used as maintenance therapy during screening and in between single doses of study drug.
