ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryMean Change in Morning Peak Expiratory Flow (mPEF (L/Minute)) From Baseline (Mean of the Last 7 Days in the run-in Period) to Treatment Period (Mean of All Available Data During the Treatment Period).Baseline to 6 months
Peak expiratory flow is defined as the maximum speed of expiration as measured with the Mini-Wright® PEF Meter. Participants must have both baseline and follow up measure to be included in analysis. Results presented as a mean of all available data during the treatment period.
SecondaryChanges in Average Value From Baseline to Treatment Period in Evening Peak Expiratory Flow (ePEF (L/Minute))Baseline to 6 months
Peak expiratory flow is defined as the maximum speed of expiration as measured with the Mini-Wright® PEF Meter. Participants must have both baseline and follow up measure to be included in analysis. No dispersion measure available.
SecondaryChanges in Average Value From Baseline to Treatment Period in Asthma Symptom Score - TotalBaseline to 6 months
Participants must have both baseline and flow up measure to be included in analysis. Each morning and evening, the patient will be asked to record his/her asthma symptoms (sx) in the diary. The asthma sx scores during night- and daytime will be assessed by the patient according to the following scoring system: 0 = no asthma sx; 1 = you are aware of your asthma sx but can easily tolerate the sx; 2 = your asthma sx are causing you enough discomfort to cause problems with normal activities (or with sleep); 3 = you are unable to do your normal activities (or sleep) because of your asthma. The total symptom score is the sum of the night- and daytime scores.
SecondaryChanges in Average Value From Baseline to Treatment Period in Number of Inhalations of Short-acting β2-agonists (SABAs) - Total From Baseline to 6 MonthsBaseline to 6 months
This is the change in the average number of inhalations from baseline to the end of the study (6 months). Participants must have both baseline and follow up measure to be included in analysis. Treatment mean calculated using the entire treatment period.
SecondaryChanges in Average Value From Baseline to Treatment Period in Percentage of Nights With Awakening(s) Due to AsthmaBaseline to 6 months
Change in percentage of nights with night-time awakening(s) due to asthma from baseline to the end of the study (6 months). Participants must have both baseline and follow up measure to be included in analysis.
SecondaryChange in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) From Randomization to Treatment Period.From randomization (Visit 3) to visit 7.
Description: Changes in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) from randomization (Visit 3) to the treatment period considered as mean value at Visits 4-7. Participants must have both baseline and follow up measure to be included in analysis.
SecondaryNumber of Patients With Severe Asthma Exacerbations.Up to 6 months
SecondaryChange in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, Standardized Version (AQLQ(S)) Scores From Randomization (Visit 3) to Visit 7From randomization (Visit 3) to Visit 7
The Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, Standardized Version (AQLQ(S))has been developed by and includes 32 questions in 4 domains: activity limitation, symptoms, emotional function, and exposure to environmental stimuli. It is used to measure the physical and emotional impact of the disease in the selected areas of life. Participants must have both baseline and follow up measure to be included in analysis.AQLQ(S) score based on a 7-point scale that ranged from 1 (worst quality of life) to 7 (best quality of life).
SecondaryChange in Symptoms of GERD as Measured by Reflux Disease Questionnaire (RDQ) From Randomization (Visit 3) to Visit 7Randomization (Visit 3) to Visit 7
The RDQ questionnaire is used to assess six GI symptoms during the previous week (a burning feeling behind the breastbone, pain behind the breastbone, a burning feeling in the centre of the stomach, pain in the centre of the stomach, an acid taste in the mouth, unpleasant movement of material upwards from the stomach). Each symptom is given a frequency score on a six-point scale (from 0=did not have to 5=daily) and an intensity score on a six-point scale (from 0=did not have to 5=severe). Three domain scores are calculated by forming averages of the frequency and intensity scores of selected symptoms (heartburn: the first two symptoms; dyspepsia: the next two symptoms; regurgitation: the last two symptoms). The overall GERD score is calculated as the average of the hearburn and dyspepsia domain scores. The GERD score can thus range from 0 to 5.
SecondaryNumber of Severe Adverse EventsUp to 6 months
