- •Long-term reversal of daily sleep patterns (e.g., long-term night shift workers).
- •Subjects who need to be treated with non-selective β1-adrenergic receptor blockers for any reason, or who are on selective β1-blockers but have unstable doses in the 1 month prior to the baseline visit.
- •Underwent an IgE antibody within 130 days prior to the baseline visit, or received prior treatment with an IL-4R antibody (e.g., dupilumab); and those who have received other biologics within 5 half-lives (half-life known) or 6 months (half-life unknown).
- •Treatment with herbs and pCms with asthma-alleviating effects within 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit (except topical herbs).
- •Underwent immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy, allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) within 3 months prior to the baseline visit or plan to be treated with the therapy during the trial.
- •Underwent bronchial thermoplasty within 3years before baseline visit or plan to be treated with the therapy during the trial.
- •Comorbidities requiring ICS (e.g. TB) or LABA (e.g. severe heart disease, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled hypertension, hyperthyroidism, etc.) resulting in compromised treatment of the comorbidities.
- •Prolonged QTc interval or ventricular tachycardia requiring pharmacological treatment.
- •Pregnant or lactating women.
- •Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (except for HBVDNA test below 500 IU/ml) and hepatitis B core antibody (except for HBVDNA test below 500 IU/ml) at screening; positive HCV antibody, HIV antibody, and TP-Ab (except for those who are RPR or TRUST negative).
- •Those with existing or suspected acute or chronic infections in the 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit and who have received antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic or antiprotozoal therapy.
