Participants who do not meet the bronchodilator reversibility inclusion criterion but have =10% and =160 mL reversibility, may repeat the reversibility spirometry assessment once during the Screening period, at an unscheduled visit at least 7 days prior to baseline. 2.

ACQ-6 =1.5 at Screening Visit 2. 8. Documented history of at least two asthma exacerbations requiring treatment with systemic corticosteroids (intramuscular, intravenous, or oral) within the past 12-month period prior to Screening Visit 1. General medical history 9. Negative urine pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential (WOCBP; after menarche) at the Screening Visit 2 and Baseline Visit. 10. WOCBP must use either of the following methods of birth control, from Screening Visit 1 through the End of Study Visit: 1. A highly effective form of birth control (confirmed by the investigator). Highly effective forms of birth control include: true sexual abstinence, a vasectomized sexual partner, Implanon, female sterilization by tubal occlusion, any effective Intrauterine device (IUD), IUD/intrauterine system (IUS), Levonorgestrel Intrauterine system, or oral contraceptive. Or 2. Two protocol acceptable methods of contraception in tandem. Women not of childbearing potential are defined as women who are either permanently sterilized (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy), or who are postmenopausal. Women will be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for =12 months prior to the planned date of the Baseline Visit without an alternative medical cause. The following age specific requirements apply: 3. Women <50 years old would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatment and follicle stimulating hormone levels in the postmenopausal range. 4. Women =50 years old would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatment. Exclusion Criteria: Asthma-related criteria 1. A participant who experiences a severe asthma exacerbation (defined as a deterioration of asthma that results in emergency treatment, hospitalization due to asthma, or treatment with systemic corticosteroids) at any time from 4 weeks prior to Screening Visit 1 up to and including the Baseline Visit. Participants who experience an asthma exacerbation during the Screening/Run-in Period may remain in screening and proceed with study visits 14 days after they have completed their course of oral steroids or returned to their pre-Screening Visit maintenance dose of oral steroids and the investigator considers participant has returned to baseline status. 2.
