Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change From Baseline in Peripheral Eosinophil Count at Day 22		Baseline, Day 22
Primary	Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events	An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.; An AE was considered "serious" if there was any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening, Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect, other important medical events.; Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as AEs that started or worsened in severity on or after the date and time of the study drug infusion.	From first dose to Day 127
Primary	Number of Asthma Exacerbations	Asthma exacerbation was defined as follows: Use of systemic corticosteroids (or a temporary increase in a stable oral corticosteroid background dose) for at least 3 days; a single depo-injectable dose of corticosteroids was considered equivalent to a 3-day course of systemic corticosteroids.; OR; An emergency room/urgent care visit (defined as evaluation and treatment for <24 hours in an emergency department or urgent care center) due to asthma that required systemic corticosteroids (as per above).; OR; An inpatient hospitalization (defined as admission to an inpatient facility and/or evaluation and treatment in a healthcare facility for =24 hours due to asthma).	From first dose to Day 127
Primary	Number of Participants With Positive Anti-drug Antibody		Day 1, Day 8, Day 36, Day 85, Day 106, end of study (up to Day 127)
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Peripheral Eosinophil Count at Day 127		Baseline, Day 127
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Prebronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Day 127	FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation.	Baseline, Day 127
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) at Day 127	Measurement of FeNO was performed in accordance with the guidelines published by American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS).	Baseline, Day 127
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Whole Blood Ex-vivo Induced Interferon Gamma (IFN-?)	Blood samples for ex vivo induced IFN-? assessment were collected in a sodium heparin tube. The measurement of ex vivo induced IFN-? was performed using validated assay method.	Baseline, Day 8, Day 36, Day 85, Day 106, and End of Study (up to Day 127)
Secondary	Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of Etokimab	Cmax was obtained directly from the observed concentration versus time data.	pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, end of infusion (EOI), EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion
Secondary	Time to Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of Etokimab	Tmax was obtained directly from the observed concentration versus time data.	pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion
Secondary	Area Under the Concentration-time Curve in Serum From Time Zero (Predose) Extrapolated to Infinite Time (AUC0-inf) of Etokimab	AUC0-inf was calculated by linear up/log down trapezoidal summation and extrapolated to infinity by addition of the last quantifiable concentration divided by the apparent terminal rate constant.	pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion
Secondary	Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-last) of Etokimab	AUC0-last was calculated by linear up/log down trapezoidal summation.	pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion
Secondary	Apparent Total Body Clearance (CL) of Etokimab	CL was calculated as dose/ AUC0-inf.	pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion
Secondary	Apparent Terminal Rate Constant (?z) of Etokimab	?z was determined by linear regression of the terminal points of the log-linear concentration-time curve.	pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion

Secondary	Volume of Distribution During Terminal Phase (Vz) of Etokimab	Vz was estimated by dividing the systemic clearance by ?z.	pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion
Secondary	Volume of Distribution at Steady State Following Intravenous Dosing (Vss) of Etokimab	Volume of distribution at steady state following intravenous dosing was calculated as [([AUMClast + ([tlast*Clast]/?z) + Clast/?z^2]/ AUC(0-inf)) - TI/ 2]*CL, Clast is last observed (quantifiable) plasma concentration, where AUMClast is the area under the moment curve from the time of dosing to Clast, tlast is the time of Clast, and TI is infusion duration.	pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion
