What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Morning (AM) and Evening (PM) Total Asthma Symptom Severity (TASS)

    Each morning prior to dosing and each evening approximately 12 hours later, the participant evaluated his/her asthma symptoms. The TASS was the sum of severity scores for 4 asthma symptoms: cough, wheeze, difficulty of breathing, and chest tightness. The severity of each asthma symptom was rated on a 4-point scale (0=no symptom; 3=severe); minimum TASS=0; maximum TASS=12. A decrease in TASS indicated an improvement in asthma symptoms. The Final Week was the final 7 days post Day 1 (e. g., if Day 20 was the day of last dose of study medication, then the AM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 14 to Day 20, and the PM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 13 to Day 19).

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 4

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in AM and PM Cough Symptom Score

    Cough is an asthma symptom assessed by participants who used diary cards to record morning and evening cough (recorded twice daily). Every morning prior to dosing and each evening approximately 12 hours later, the participant evaluated his/her coughing for the time period since the last evaluation (or for the previous 12 hours for the first evaluation). Cough was rated on a 4-point scale (0=no symptoms \[best score\] to 3=symptoms were hard to tolerate and interfered with daily life activity \[worst score\]). Reduction in score indicated an improvement in cough symptoms. The Final Week was the final 7 days post Day 1 (e. g., if Day 20 was the day of last dose of study medication, then the AM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 14 to Day 20, and the PM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 13 to Day 19).

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 4

  2. Change From Baseline in AM and PM Wheeze Symptom Score

    Wheezing is a symptom of asthma. The wheezing assessment was based on participant diary data only. Every morning prior to dosing and each evening approximately 12 hours later, the participant evaluated his/her wheezing for the time period since the last evaluation (or for the previous 12 hours for the first evaluation). Wheeze severity was rated on a 4-point scale (0=no wheezing \[best score\] to 3=wheezing was hard to tolerate and interfered with daily life activity \[worst score\]). The Final Week was the final 7 days post Day 1 (e. g., if Day 20 was the day of last dose of study medication, then the AM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 14 to Day 20, and the PM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 13 to Day 19).

SecondaryChange From Baseline in AM and PM Chest Tightness Symptom Score

Chest tightness is an asthma symptom assessed by participants using diary cards to record morning and evening chest tightness (recorded twice daily). Every morning prior to dosing and each evening approximately 12 hours later, the participant evaluated his/her chest tightness for the time period since the last evaluation (or for the previous 12 hours for the first evaluation). The severity of chest tightness was rated on a 4-point scale (0=no symptom \[best score\] to 3=symptoms were hard to tolerate and interfered with daily life activity \[worst score\]). The Final Week was the final 7 days post Day 1 (e. g., if Day 20 was the day of last dose of study medication, then the AM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 14 to Day 20, and the PM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 13 to Day 19).

SecondaryChange From Baseline in AM and PM Total Nasal Symptom Severity (TNSS)

The Total Nasal Symptom Severity (TNSS) is the sum of severity scores for 4 nasal symptoms: nasal rhinorrhea, nasal stuffiness/congestion, sneezing, and nasal itching as assessed in the participant diaries. The severity of each nasal symptom was rated on a 4-point scale (0=no symptom \[best score\] to 3=symptoms were hard to tolerate and interfered with daily life activity \[worst score\]); minimum TNSS=0; maximum TNSS=12. A decrease in TNSS indicated an improvement in nasal symptoms. The Final Week was the final 7 days post Day 1 (e. g., if Day 20 was the day of last dose of study medication, then the AM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 14 to Day 20, and the PM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 13 to Day 19).

SecondaryChange From Baseline in AM and PM Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR)

Participants used a peak flow meter to measure the rate of air forcibly expelled from the lungs. They performed triplicate PEFR measurements in the morning prior to taking their study medication and again in the evening, and documented the highest of the three values in their diaries. A day with worsening asthma was any day during which a decrease from baseline in morning (AM) PEFR of more than 25% occurred. The Final Week was the final 7 days post Day 1 (e. g., if Day 20 was the day of last dose of study medication, then the AM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 14 to Day 20, and the PM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 13 to Day 19).

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Weekly Average Nighttime Awakenings Due to Asthma

Participants recorded the number of times during the night they awakened due to asthma. The Final Week was the final 7 days post Day 1 (e. g., if Day 20 was the day of last dose of study medication, then the AM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 14 to Day 20, and the PM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 13 to Day 19).

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Weekly Average Interference With Sleep

Interference with sleep was rated once each morning using a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (substantially interferes with sleep). The Final Week was the final 7 days post Day 1 (e. g., if Day 20 was the day of last dose of study medication, then the AM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 14 to Day 20, and the PM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 13 to Day 19).

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Weekly Average Interference With Daily Activities

Interference with daily activities was rated once each evening using a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (substantially interfered with activities or not able to perform the activities at all). The Final Week was the final 7 days post Day 1 (e. g., if Day 20 was the day of last dose of study medication, then the AM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 14 to Day 20, and the PM assessment at Final Week was calculated from Day 13 to Day 19).

SecondaryTherapeutic Response to Asthma Symptoms

On Day 15 and Day 29, the investigator or designee and participant jointly assessed the participant's response to study intervention by comparing the current level of asthma symptoms with those noted on Day 1. Therapeutic response for asthma symptoms was based on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (Complete Relief) to 5 (No Relief).
