    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (Trough FEV1) at Week 26 [26 weeks]

      Trough FEV1 was assessed by performing spirometric assessment. It is defined as average of the two FEV1 measurements taken 23 hr 15 min and 23 hr 45 min post-evening dose. FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation, measured through spirometry testing.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-7) at Weeks 4, 12, 26 and 52 [Weeks 4, 12, 26 and 52]

      The ACQ-7 measured asthma symptom control and consists of 7 items: 5 on symptom assessment, 1 on rescue bronchodilator use and 1 on airway calibre (FEV1 % predicted). All 7 questions of the ACQ-7 were equally weighted. Items 1-5 were scored along a 7-point response scale, where 0 = totally controlled and 6 = severely uncontrolled. Item 6 is scored between 0 = no rescue medication and 6 = More than 16 puffs/inhalations most days. The 7th item was scored by the investigator based on the FEV1 % predicted from the masterscope at the site (i.e., Score = 0 means > 95% of predicted FEV1, 1 = 90 - 95%, 2 = 80 - 89%, 3 = 70 - 79%, 4 = 60 - 69%, 5 = 50 - 59%, and Score = 6 means < 50% of predicted FEV1). The total score was calculated as the mean of all questions.

    2. Trough FEV1 at Week 52 [Week 52]

      Trough FEV1 was assessed by performing spirometric assessment. It is defined as average of the two FEV1 measurements taken 23 hr 15 min and 23 hr 45 min post-evening dose. FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation, measured through spirometry testing.

    3. Pre-dose FEV1 at Weeks 4 and 12 [Weeks 4 (Day 30) and 12 (Day 86)]

      Pre-dose trough FEV1 is defined as average of the two FEV1 measurements taken 45 min and 15 min pre evening dose. It was assessed by performing spirometric assessment. FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation, measured through spirometry testing.

    4. Post Dose FEV1 (5 Minutes-1 Hour) [Up to Week 52 (Day 364)]

      Post-dose FEV1 measurements were analyzed at 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 1 hour. FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation, measured through spirometry testing.

    5. Trough Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) [Up to Week 52 (Day 365)]

      FVC is the total amount of air exhaled during the FEV test. Trough FVC is defined as average of the two FVC measurements taken 23 hr 15 min and 23 hr 45 min post-evening dose. It was assessed by performing spirometric assessment.

    6. Trough Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF)Between 25% and 75% of FVC (FEF25-75) [Up to Week 52 (Day 365)]

      FEF is the flow (or speed) of air coming out of the lung during the middle portion of a forced expiration. Trough FEF25-75% is defined as average of the two FEF25-75% measurements taken 23 hr 15 min and 23 hr 45 min post-evening dose. It was assessed by performing spirometric assessment.

    7. Change From Baseline in Morning and Evening Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEF) Over 26 and 52 Weeks of Treatment [Up to Weeks 26 and 52]

      PEF is a person's maximum speed of expiration. All the participants were instructed to record PEF twice daily using a mini Peak Flow Meter device, once in the morning (before taking the morning dose) and once approximately 12 h later in the evening (before taking the evening dose). At each timepoint, the participant was instructed to perform 3 consecutive manoeuvres within 10 minutes. These PEF values were captured in the e-PEF/diary. The best of 3 values were used.

    8. Percentage of Participants Achieving the Minimal Important Difference (MID) ACQ ≥ 0.5 at Weeks 26 and 52 [Weeks 26 (Day 183) and 52 (Day 364)]

      Change from baseline in ACQ-7 scores of ≤ 0.5 was defined as minimal clinically important difference and were considered clinically meaningful. The ACQ-7 measured asthma symptom control and consists of 7 items: 5 on symptom assessment, 1 on rescue bronchodilator use and 1 on airway calibre (FEV1 % predicted). All 7 questions of the ACQ-7 were equally weighted. Items 1-5 were scored along a 7-point response scale, where 0 = totally controlled and 6 = severely uncontrolled. Item 6 is scored between 0 = no rescue medication and 6 = More than 16 puffs/inhalations most days. The 7th item was scored by the investigator based on the FEV1 % predicted from the masterscope at the site (i.e., Score = 0 means > 95% of predicted FEV1, 1 = 90 - 95%, 2 = 80 - 89%, 3 = 70 - 79%, 4 = 60 - 69%, 5 = 50 - 59%, and Score = 6 means < 50% of predicted FEV1). The total score was calculated as the mean of all questions

    9. Change From Baseline in Percentage of Asthma Symptoms Free Days [Up to Week 52]

      All participants were provided with an electronic diary (e-Diary) to record clinical symptoms. They were instructed to routinely complete the e-Diary twice daily at the same time each morning and again approximately 12 hours later in the evening. The e-Diary was reviewed at each visit until study completion. Asthma symptoms free days are days with no daytime symptoms, no night-time awakenings and no symptoms on awakening. The daytime asthma symptom score was based on the daily e-diary recordings by participants with respect to shortness of breath, wheeze, cough, chest tightness, and impact on usual daily activities due to symptoms.

    10. Change Form Baseline in Percentage of Days With no Daytime Symptoms [Up to Week 52]

      All participants were provided with an electronic diary (e-Diary) to record clinical symptoms.

The question asked for nights with no night-time awakenings was "How did you sleep last night?" had to be answered with "I did not wake up because of any breathing problems" with scores from 0 (no problem)-4 (very severe problems).

    12. Change Form Baseline in Percentage of Mornings With no Symptoms on Awakening [Up to Week 52]

      All participants were provided with an electronic diary (e-Diary) to record clinical symptoms. They were instructed to routinely complete the e-Diary twice daily at the same time each morning and again approximately 12 hours later in the evening. The e-Diary was reviewed at each visit until study completion. The question asked for mornings with no symptoms on awakening was "Did you have asthma symptoms upon awakening in the morning?" to be answered with "None" with scores from 0 (no problem)-4 (very severe problems).

    13. Rescue Medication Usage [Up to Weeks 26 and 52]

      All participants were given salbutamol/albuterol to use as rescue medication throughout the study along with e-Diary to record rescue medication use. The number of puffs of rescue medication during the past 12 hours is recorded twice (morning/evening) by the participant prior to taking study medication. The mean daily number of puffs of rescue medication use will be calculated for each participant, done separately for morning (night-time), evening (daytime), and daily (night-time plus daytime) rescue medication use

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (Trough FEV1) at Week 26
    Description Trough FEV1 was assessed by performing spirometric assessment. It is defined as average of the two FEV1 measurements taken 23 hr 15 min and 23 hr 45 min post-evening dose. FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation, measured through spirometry testing.
    Time Frame 26 weeks

    2. Secondary Outcome
    Title Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-7) at Weeks 4, 12, 26 and 52
    Description The ACQ-7 measured asthma symptom control and consists of 7 items: 5 on symptom assessment, 1 on rescue bronchodilator use and 1 on airway calibre (FEV1 % predicted). All 7 questions of the ACQ-7 were equally weighted. Items 1-5 were scored along a 7-point response scale, where 0 = totally controlled and 6 = severely uncontrolled. Item 6 is scored between 0 = no rescue medication and 6 = More than 16 puffs/inhalations most days. The 7th item was scored by the investigator based on the FEV1 % predicted from the masterscope at the site (i.e., Score = 0 means > 95% of predicted FEV1, 1 = 90 - 95%, 2 = 80 - 89%, 3 = 70 - 79%, 4 = 60 - 69%, 5 = 50 - 59%, and Score = 6 means < 50% of predicted FEV1). The total score was calculated as the mean of all questions.

    8. Secondary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline in Morning and Evening Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEF) Over 26 and 52 Weeks of Treatment
    Description PEF is a person's maximum speed of expiration. All the participants were instructed to record PEF twice daily using a mini Peak Flow Meter device, once in the morning (before taking the morning dose) and once approximately 12 h later in the evening (before taking the evening dose). At each timepoint, the participant was instructed to perform 3 consecutive manoeuvres within 10 minutes. These PEF values were captured in the e-PEF/diary. The best of 3 values were used.

    9. Secondary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Participants Achieving the Minimal Important Difference (MID) ACQ ≥ 0.5 at Weeks 26 and 52
    Description Change from baseline in ACQ-7 scores of ≤ 0.5 was defined as minimal clinically important difference and were considered clinically meaningful. The ACQ-7 measured asthma symptom control and consists of 7 items: 5 on symptom assessment, 1 on rescue bronchodilator use and 1 on airway calibre (FEV1 % predicted). All 7 questions of the ACQ-7 were equally weighted. Items 1-5 were scored along a 7-point response scale, where 0 = totally controlled and 6 = severely uncontrolled. Item 6 is scored between 0 = no rescue medication and 6 = More than 16 puffs/inhalations most days. The 7th item was scored by the investigator based on the FEV1 % predicted from the masterscope at the site (i.e., Score = 0 means > 95% of predicted FEV1, 1 = 90 - 95%, 2 = 80 - 89%, 3 = 70 - 79%, 4 = 60 - 69%, 5 = 50 - 59%, and Score = 6 means < 50% of predicted FEV1). The total score was calculated as the mean of all questions

    Title Change From Baseline in Percentage of Asthma Symptoms Free Days
    Description All participants were provided with an electronic diary (e-Diary) to record clinical symptoms. They were instructed to routinely complete the e-Diary twice daily at the same time each morning and again approximately 12 hours later in the evening. The e-Diary was reviewed at each visit until study completion. Asthma symptoms free days are days with no daytime symptoms, no night-time awakenings and no symptoms on awakening. The daytime asthma symptom score was based on the daily e-diary recordings by participants with respect to shortness of breath, wheeze, cough, chest tightness, and impact on usual daily activities due to symptoms.
