This study is a Phase IIa, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, 2-way crossover, 2-center (conducted in EU; The Netherlands) study in male and female subjects with stable, mild HDM-allergic asthma. The study will consist of two identical study periods of 12 treatment days each, separated by a washout period of at least 3 weeks (and no more than 7 weeks). Approximately 36 eligible subjects will be enrolled, to yield 32 evaluable subjects who will be treated with both FP-025 (400 mg BID) or matching placebo in a cross-over design from the evening of Day 1 till the morning of Day 12 (22 doses per study period in total).

Apart from a clinically stable asthma and HDM-allergy, subjects should be generally healthy with no history of a clinically relevant medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator might interfere with successful study conduct and no clinically relevant abnormalities on medical history, physical exam, vital signs, laboratory parameters or ECG at Screening. 3.

Subjects should have established allergy for HDM (serum HDM-specific IgE or positive SPT at Screening or documented within 1 year pre-screening). 6. No severe exacerbation of asthma within past 1 year requiring hospital admission and/or treatment with oral corticosteroids; no (never) intensive care admissions for asthma or intubation). 7. FEV1 should be =70% of predicted on Screening Day 2. 8. On Screening Day 2, PC20FEV1(Meth) should be <16 mg/mL if methacholine chloride is used (or adjusted by a factor of 1.2 if methacholine bromide is used). 9. Baseline blood eosinophils should be =150 cells/µL at Screening or documented within 3 months before Screening Day 1. 10. Subjects should have a documented airway late response to inhaled HDM on Screening Day 3. 11.

Subject is using maintenance asthma therapy or long-acting bronchodilators or any other anti-asthma or anti-allergic medications (as detailed in the protocol) other than infrequent use of SABA prn only. 9. Subject is using prohibited medications as detailed in the protocol. 10. Multi-sensitized symptomatic subjects with seasonal (pollen) allergies should be included outside of the relevant allergen season and/or should not be in frequent contact with the relevant allergen during the study. 11.
