Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Area Under the Concentration Curve From 0 to 6 Hours (AUC0-6 Hours) Over 12 Weeks	Lung function will be measured by spirometry. Baseline FEV1 will be taken as the average of the 60- and 30-minute pre-dose spirometry measures on or before randomization. Starting with the first study drug dose at Week 0 and then at Week 12, spirometry assessments will be completed at 60 and 30 minutes before the morning dose and 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, and 360 minutes after dosing. FEV1 AUC0-6 hours will be calculated for changes from baseline (randomization visit) using the trapezoidal rule and will be normalized by dividing by the time (in hours) from dosing to the last measurement included (typically 6 hours).	Baseline and 12 weeks
Primary	Change From Baseline in Trough FEV1	Trough FEV1 is calculated at each clinic visit as the average of the 30- and 60-minute pre-dose FEV1 measurements. Baseline FEV1 is defined as the average of the 30- and 60-minute pre-dose measures collected on the day of randomization.	Baseline and 12 weeks
Secondary	Time to 15% Increase in FEV1 Over the Pre-treatment Value on Day 1	The time to onset is defined as the time (minutes) from the first inhalation of randomized treatment (Day 1) to the first instance where a percentage change from baseline in FEV1 of at least 15% is observed. Participants were only to be included in the analysis if a percent change from baseline of at least 15% is observed within a nominal 30 minutes post dose assessment time point. Baseline FEV1 is defined as the average of the 30- and 60- minute pre-dose spirometry measures taken at randomization.	From first dose (first inhalation of randomized treatment) up to about 40 minutes post-dose (Day 1).
Secondary	Duration of 15% Increase in FEV1 Over the Pre-treatment Value on Day 1	The duration of onset is defined as the time (minutes) of the continual period in which a percentage increase change from baseline in FEV1 of at least 15% is observed. Participants will only be included in the analyses if a percent change from baseline of at least 15% is observed within a nominal 30 minutes post dose assessment. If a participant has multiple periods of onset, only the first will contribute to the summary. Duration of onset can last up to the last assessment during a nominal 6 hour serial spirometry profile. Baseline FEV1 is defined as the average of the 60- and 30- minute pre-dose spirometry taken at randomization.	Onset up to about 40 minutes post-treatment, with duration lasting up to the last assessment of a nominal 6 hour serial spirometry profile (Day 1).
Secondary	Number of Participants With a Clinically Meaningful Difference on the Asthma Control Questionnaire 7-item Version (ACQ-7) at Week 12.	A responder is defined as a participant who achieves a reduction from baseline in overall ACQ-7 score of at least 0.5. The ACQ-7 has 7 questions, with each question using a 7 point scale, where 0 = totally controlled and 6 = extremely poorly controlled. The overall ACQ-7 score is defined as the averaged score across the 7 questions. The analysis only includes participants who are uncontrolled at basellne, i.e. baseline ACQ-7 >= 1.5. All participants who discontinue treatment prior to Week 12 are classified as non-responders.	Baseline and 12 weeks
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Trough FEV1 at Week 1.	Trough FEV1 is calculated at each clinic visit as the average of the 60- and 30-minute pre-dose FEV1 measurements. Baseline FEV1 is defined as the average of the 60- and 30-minute pre-dose measures collected on the day of randomization.	Baseline and 1 week
