Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 at the ClinicTwelve week treatment period

Change from baseline: treatment period average minus baseline. Treatment period average defined as the mean of all available data during randomized treatment that occurred on or prior to treatment failure. Treatment failure defined as worsening asthma symptoms resulting in increased dose of inhaled corticosteroid.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Morning and Evening PEFTwelve week treatment period

Change from baseline: treatment period average minus baseline. Treatment period average defined as the mean of all available morning (evening) PEF during randomized treatment that occurred on or prior to treatment failure. Treatment failure defined as worsening asthma symptoms resulting in increased dose of inhaled corticosteroid.

Asthma Control Questionnaire 5-item (ACQ5)Twelve week treatment period

The ACQ5 consists of 5 questions, each assessed on a scale from 0-6, where 0 represents good asthma control and 6 represents poor asthma control. The overall score is the mean of the responses. The minimal important difference is defined as a change in score of 0.5. Change from baseline: treatment period average minus baseline.

Adverse EventsTwelve week treatment period

Number of participants who had at least one adverse event during the randomized treatment period

Number of Participants With at Least One Severe Asthma ExacerbationTwelve week treatment period

Severe asthma exacerbation defined as deterioration in asthma leading to either hospitalization/emergency room treatment or oral glucocorticosteroid treatment for at least 3 days

Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment FailureTwelve week treatment period

Treatment failure is defined as a clinical need for additional inhaled corticosteroid use as judged by the investigator based on evaluations at the clinic.

Number of Participants With Well-controlled Asthma (ACQ5<=0.75)Twelve week treatment period

The ACQ5 consists of 5 questions, each assessed on a scale from 0-6, where 0 represents good asthma control and 6 represents poor asthma control. The overall score is the mean of the responses. Well-controlled asthma is defined as ACQ5\<=0.75 at the end of the 12-week treatment period.

Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ(S))Twelve week treatment period

The AQLQ(S) consists of 32 questions, each assessed on a scale from 1-7, with higher values indicating better health-related quality of life. Overall scores are calculated from the means of the individual scores. The minimal important difference is a change in score of 0.5. Change from baseline: treatment period average minus baseline.

Asthma Symptom ScoreTwelve week treatment period

Asthma symptoms, measured in the morning and evening, based on a scale from 0-3 with higher scores indicating more severe asthma symptoms. Total asthma symptom score (0-6) is calculated by taking the sum of the morning and evening scores. Change from baseline: treatment period average minus baseline.

Total Reliever Medication UseTwelve week treatment period

Reliever medication use (number of inhalations), measured in the morning and evening. Total reliever medication use is calculated by taking the sum of the number of daytime and evening inhalations of reliever medication. Change from baseline: treatment period average minus baseline.
