ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage Reduction in Final OCS Dose Compared With Baseline While Maintaining Asthma ControlWeek 28
Baseline OCS dose is the dose upon which the patient is stabilised at randomisation (Week 0). Final OCS dose is the dose at Week 28. The percentage reduction from baseline is defined as: {(Baseline dose-final dose)/baseline dose}\*100%. If a patient discontinues from the study during a given dose reduction period, or the patient experiences an exacerbation between Weeks 24 and 28 or immediately before discontinuation, then the final OCS dose will be 1 dose level higher than that which directly preceded the event.
SecondaryNumber and Percentage of Patients in Different Categories of Percent Reduction From Baseline in Final OCS Dose While Maintaining Asthma ControlWeek 28Number and percentage of patients in different categories of percent reduction from baseline in final OCS dose.
SecondaryPercentage Reduction in Final OCS Dose Compared With Baseline While Maintaining Asthma Control for Patients With Baseline Eosinophils >=300/uLWeek 28
Baseline OCS dose is the dose upon which the patient is stabilised at randomisation (Week 0). Final OCS dose is the dose at Week 28. The percentage reduction from baseline is defined as: {(Baseline dose-final dose)/baseline dose}\*100%. If a patient discontinues from the study during a given dose reduction period, or the patient experiences an exacerbation between Weeks 24 and 28 or immediately before discontinuation, then the final OCS dose will be 1 dose level higher than that which directly preceded the event.
SecondaryThe Percentage of Patients With ≥50% Reduction in Average Daily OCS Dose at Visit 14 Compared With Baseline Dose at Visit 6, While Maintaining Asthma ControlWeek 28
Baseline OCS dose is the dose upon which the patient is stabilised at randomisation (Week 0). Final OCS dose is the dose at Week 28. The percentage reduction from baseline is defined as: {(Baseline dose-final dose)/baseline dose}\*100%. If a patient discontinues from the study during a given dose reduction period, or the patient experiences an exacerbation between Weeks 24 and 28 or immediately before discontinuation, then the final OCS dose will be 1 dose level higher than that which directly preceded the event.
SecondaryThe Proportion of Eligible Patients With ≥100% Reduction in Average Daily OCS Dose at Visit 14 Compared With Baseline Dose at Visit 6, While Maintaining Asthma ControlWeek 28
Baseline OCS dose is the dose upon which the patient is stabilised at randomisation (Week 0). Final OCS dose is the dose at Week 28. The percentage reduction from baseline is defined as: {(Baseline dose-final dose)/baseline dose}\*100%. If a patient discontinues from the study during a given dose reduction period, or the patient experiences an exacerbation between Weeks 24 and 28 or immediately before discontinuation, then the final OCS dose will be 1 dose level higher than that which directly preceded the event.
SecondaryThe Proportion of Patients With ≤5.0 mg Reduction on Daily OCS Dose at Visit 14 Compared With Baseline Dose at Visit 6, While Maintaining Asthma Control.Week 28
Baseline OCS dose is the dose upon which the patient is stabilised at randomisation (Week 0). Final OCS dose is the dose at Week 28. If a patient discontinues from the study during a given dose reduction period, or the patient experiences an exacerbation between Weeks 24 and 28 or immediately before discontinuation, then the final OCS dose will be 1 dose level higher than that which directly preceded the event.
SecondaryThe Proportion of Patients With Average Final OCS Dose ≤5.0 mg Daily at Visit 14, While Maintaining Asthma ControlWeek 28
Final OCS dose is the dose at Week 28. If a patient discontinues from the study during a given dose reduction period, or the patient experiences an exacerbation between Weeks 24 and 28 or immediately before discontinuation, then the final OCS dose will be 1 dose level higher than that which directly preceded the event.
