Changes from baseline in the Asthma Control Questionnaire-5 (ACQ-5)score and ACQ-7 score at each evaluation time point. 2、4、8、12、16、20、24、28 、32weeks The ACQ-5 is a questionnaire used to evaluate the degree of asthma control. Each question is scored from 0 to 6 (on a 7-point scale) according to its severity. The higher the score, the less satisfactory symptom control is.

Scores range 1-7, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
