Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ(5)) Score From Baseline at a Regional LevelBaseline and 12 weeks

Participants' levels of asthma control were scored on a 7-point Likert scale from 0 to 6, whereby 0 represents good control and 6 represents poor control of asthma. The regional mean change of overall ACQ(5) score were calculated as change from baseline (Week 0) to the average during the treatment period (mean of scores at Week 4, Week 8, Week 12).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

Participants' levels of asthma control were scored on a 7-point Likert scale from 0 to 6, whereby 0 represents good control and 6 represents poor control of asthma. The regional mean change of overall ACQ(5) score were calculated as change from baseline (Week 0) to the average during the treatment period (mean of scores at Week 4, Week 8, Week 12).

Change in ACQ(5) Score From Baseline at Country Level (China)Baseline and 12 weeks

Participants' levels of asthma control were scored on a 7-point Likert scale from 0 to 6, whereby 0 represents good control and 6 represents poor control of asthma. The regional mean change of overall ACQ(5) score were calculated as change from baseline (Week 0) to the average during the treatment period (mean of scores at Week 4, Week 8, Week 12).

Change in Overall ACQ(5) Score From Baseline at Country Level (Indonesia)Baseline and 12 weeks

Participants' levels of asthma control were scored on a 7-point Likert scale from 0 to 6, whereby 0 represents good control and 6 represents poor control of asthma. The regional mean change of overall ACQ(5) score were calculated as change from baseline (Week 0) to the average during the treatment period (mean of scores at Week 4, Week 8, Week 12).

Change in Overall ACQ(5) Score From Baseline at Country Level (Taiwan)Baseline and 12 weeks

Participants' levels of asthma control were scored on a 7-point Likert scale from 0 to 6, whereby 0 represents good control and 6 represents poor control of asthma. The regional mean change of overall ACQ(5) score were calculated as change from baseline (Week 0) to the average during the treatment period (mean of scores at Week 4, Week 8, Week 12).

Change in Overall ACQ(5) Score From Baseline at Country Level (Thailand)Baseline and 12 weeks

Participants' levels of asthma control were scored on a 7-point Likert scale from 0 to 6, whereby 0 represents good control and 6 represents poor control of asthma. The regional mean change of overall ACQ(5) score were calculated as change from baseline (Week 0) to the average during the treatment period (mean of scores at Week 4, Week 8, Week 12).

Change in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, Standardized Version (AQLQ (S)) Overall Scores From BaselineBaseline and 12 weeks

Participants' QOL were scored on a scale of decreasing QOL impairment from 1 to 7, in which 1 = maximum impairment. The change in overall mean AQLQ(S) score from baseline were calculated as change from baseline (Week 0) to the average during the treatment period (mean of scores at Week 4, Week 8, Week 12)

Change in AQLQ (S) Domain (Symptom) Scores From BaselineBaseline and 12 weeks

Participants' QOL were scored on a scale of decreasing QOL impairment from 1 to 7, in which 1 = maximum impairment. The change in overall mean AQLQ(S) symptom score were calculated as change from baseline (Week 0) to the average during the treatment period (mean of scores at Week 4, Week 8, Week 12).

Change in AQLQ (S) Domain (Activity Limitation) Scores From BaselineBaseline and 12 weeks

Participants' QOL were scored on a scale of decreasing QOL impairment from 1 to 7, in which 1 = maximum impairment. The change in overall mean AQLQ(S) symptom score from baseline were calculated as change from baseline (Week 0) to the average during the treatment period (mean of scores at Week 4, Week 8, Week 12)

Change in AQLQ (S) Domain (Emotion Function) Scores From BaselineBaseline and 12 weeks

Participants' emotional functions were scored on a scale of decreasing impairment to emotional function from 1 to 7, in which 1 = maximum impairment. The change in overall mean AQLQ(S) emotion function score were calculated as change from baseline (Week 0) to the treatment period (mean of the scores at Week 4, Week 8, Week 12)

Change in AQLQ (S) Domain (Environmental Stimuli) Scores From BaselineBaseline and 12 weeks

Participants ' responses to environmental stimuli were scored on a scale of decreasing response to environmental stimuli from 1 to 7, in which 1 = maximum response. The change in overall mean AQLQ(S) score were calculated as change from baseline (Week 0) to the average during the treatment period (mean of scores at Week 4, Week 8, Week 12)
