Asthma exacerbation was defined as deterioration in asthma leading to oral glucocorticosteroid \[GCS\] treatment, hospitalization, or emergency room \[ER\] treatment.

Adverse Events
3 days

Total number of adverse events

Serum Potassium - Average Concentration From Trapezoidal Area Under the Curve (AUC)
up to 740 min after start dosing for each treatment day

The mean AUC value was calculated as AUC (calculated using the trapezoidal method) divided by the length of the sampling period.

Blood Glucose - Average Concentration From Trapezoidal Area Under the Curve (AUC)
up to 140 min after start dosing for each treatment day

The mean AUC value was calculated as AUC (calculated using the trapezoidal method) divided by the length of the sampling period.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)- Average Trapezoidal Area Under the Curve (AUC)
up to 740 min after start dosing for each treatment day

The mean AUC of QTcF (ECG interval measured from the beginning of the Q wave to the end of the T wave, corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula)was calculated as AUC (calculated using the trapezoidal method) divided by the length of the sampling period.

Vital Sign (Blood Pressure)- Average Trapezoidal Area Under the Curve (AUC)
up to 740 min after start dosing for each treatment day

The mean AUC value was calculated as AUC (calculated using the trapezoidal method) divided by the length of the sampling period.

Vital Sign (Pulse Rate)- Average Trapezoidal Area Under the Curve (AUC)
up to 740 min after start dosing for each treatment day

The mean AUC value was calculated as AUC (calculated using the trapezoidal method) divided by the length of the sampling period.

Morning Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)
Baseline to 6 weeks

Change in the Morning PEF from baseline (calculated as a mean using all available data for the 10 last days of run-in period) to week 6 (calculated as a mean using all available data after randomisation). No imputation of missing data was performed
