Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change From Baseline in Pre-dose FEV1	Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) is calculated as the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second as measured by a spirometer. Baseline is defined as the last available FEV1 measurement taken prior to the first dose of randomized study drug.	Baseline and Week 12
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Daytime Asthma Symptom Score	Daytime asthma symptoms are evaluated through four questions and each of them will be rated on a scale of 0 to 6. Higher scores indicate more severe asthma-related symptoms. A mean score is calculated for the responses to 4 questions.	Baseline and Week 12
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Number of Puffs of SABA Taken Per Day	Daily use of SABA (the number of rescue medication puffs taken in the previous 12 hours) was recorded using a patient electronic diary (referred to as eDiary or eDiary/ePEF). Patients were instructed to routinely complete the patient diary twice daily - at the same time each morning and each evening, approximately 12 hours apart.	Baseline (daily mean for up to three weeks prior to baseline visit) and Week 12 (daily mean post baseline up to Week 12)
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire for 12 Years and Older (AQLQ+12) Score	AQLQ is a 32-item instrument administered as a self-assessment. AQLQ+12 is a modified version of AQLQ developed to measure functional impairments of participants aged 12-70 years. It is divided into 4 domains: activity limitation, symptoms, emotional function, and environmental stimuli. Participants were asked to recall their experiences during the last 2 weeks and respond to each question on a 7-point scale (1=severe impairment, 7=no impairment), where higher scores indicated "better quality of life." Overall AQLQ+12 score is the mean of all 32 responses.	Baseline and Week 12
