Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Change From Baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) Score
Baseline and 12 weeks

The ACQ consists of 7 questions assessing symptoms, rescue medication use and lung function. Except for lung function (FEV1), each question was scored on a 7-point scale where 0 = no impairment and 6 = maximum impairment. Scores ranged between 0 totally controlled to 6 (severely uncontrolled). Participants with a score below 1.0 are considered to have adequately controlled asthma. Participants with a score above 1.0 were considered not to be well controlled. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

Secondary Endpoints
Change in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1)
Baseline and 12 weeks
Change in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) Score
Baseline and 12 weeks
Morning and Evening Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) Rate
