- Time to First Severe Exacerbation Event: Kaplan-Meier Estimates During The 52-Week Treatment Period: ITT Population [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 52 ]The time to first severe exacerbation was defined as follows: date of the first event - randomization date +1. For participants who had no event on or before Visit 18 (Week 52) or last contact date, the time was censored at the date of Visit 18 or the last contact date, whichever was earlier. The median time to first severe exacerbation was not estimated; therefore, the probability of severe exacerbation at Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 52, are presented as the descriptive statistics.
- Time to First LOAC Event: Kaplan-Meier Estimates During The 52-Week Treatment Period: ITT Population [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 52 ]The time to first LOAC event was defined as follows: date of the first event - first dose date +1.

Participants were asked to recall how their asthma had been during the previous week and to respond to each of the five symptom questions on a 7-point scale ranged from 0 (no impairment) to 6 (maximum impairment). ACQ-5 total score was mean of the scores of all 5 questions and, therefore, ranged from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled). Higher score indicated lower asthma control.
- Change From Baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire 7-item Version (ACQ-7) Score at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 52: ITT Population [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 52 ]The ACQ-7 has 7 questions, the first 5 questions assess the most common asthma symptoms: woken at night by symptoms, wake in the mornings with symptoms, limitation of daily activities, shortness of breath and wheeze plus short-acting bronchodilator use, and FEV1 (pre-bronchodilator % predicted). Participants were asked to recall how their asthma had been during the previous week and to respond to each of the five symptom questions on a 7-point scale ranged from 0 (no impairment) to 6 (maximum impairment). Clinic staff scored the FEV1% predicted on a 7-point scale. The questions were equally weighted and the ACQ-7 total score was mean of the scores of all 7 questions and, therefore, ranged from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled). Higher score indicated lower asthma control.
- Change From Baseline in Morning Asthma Symptom Score at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 52: ITT Population [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 52 ]Morning asthma symptom score was determined using AM (ante meridiem) symptom scoring system which evaluated participant's overall asthma symptoms experienced during the night. It ranged from 0 to 4 as: 0= No asthma symptoms, slept through the night, 1= Slept well, but some complaints in the morning, no night time awakenings, 2= Woke up once because of asthma (including early awakening), 3= Woke up several times because of asthma (including early awakening), 4= Bad night, awake most of the night because of asthma.

The number of salbutamol/albuterol or levosalbutamol/levalbuterol inhalations were recorded daily by the participants in an electronic diary/peak expiratory flow (PEF) meter. In the case that Nebulizer solutions were used as an alternative delivery method, the nebulizer dose was converted to number of puffs as per following conversion factor: salbutamol/albuterol nebulizer solution (2.5 mg) corresponds to 4 puffs.
- Change From Baseline in AQLQ (S) Self-Administered Global Score at Weeks 12, 36, and 52: ITT Population [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 12, 36, and 52 ]The AQLQ is a disease-specific, self-administered quality of life questionnaire designed to measure functional impairments that are most important to participants with asthma. The AQLQ comprises of 32 items in 4 domains: symptoms (12 items), activity limitation (11 items), emotional function (5 items), environmental stimuli (4 items). Each item is scored on a 7-point likert scale (1=maximal impairment, 7=no impairment). The 32 items of the questionnaire are averaged to produce one overall quality of life score ranging from 1 (severely impaired) to 7 (not impaired at all). Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
- Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life Working Group Health Status Measure 5 Dimensions, 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Scores at Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 52: ITT Population [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 52 ]EQ-5D-5L is a standardized health-related quality of life questionnaire developed by EuroQol Group in order to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal. EQ-5D consists of EQ-5D descriptive system and EQ visual analogue scale (VAS). EQ-5D descriptive system comprises of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. The 5D-5L systems are converted into a single index utility score between 0 to 1, where higher score indicates a better health state. EQ-5D-5L-VAS records participant's self-rated health on a vertical VAS that allows them to indicate their health state that can range from 0 (worst imaginable) to 100 (best imaginable).
- Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Total Score at Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 52: ITT Population [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 52 ]The HADS is a general scale to detect states of anxiety and depression already used and validated in asthma, which includes HADS-A and HADS-D subscales. The instrument is comprised of 14 items: 7 related to anxiety (HADS-A) and 7 to depression (HADS-D). Each item on the questionnaire is scored from 0-3. The anxiety/depression score is the sum of the scores of the 7 related items; one can score between 0 and 21 for either anxiety or depression. And the total score is the sum of the scores of the 14 items ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 42 (severe symptoms), with higher scores indicating higher anxiety/depression complains.
- Change From Baseline in 22-Item Sino Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) Score at Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 52: ITT Population With Bilateral Nasal Polyposis/Chronic Rhinosinusitis [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 52 ]The SNOT-22 is a validated measure of health related quality of life in sinonasal disease. It is a 22 item questionnaire with each item assigned a score ranging from 0-5. The total score may range from 0 (no disease) -110 (worst disease), lower scores represent better health related quality of life.
- Change From Baseline in Standardized Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality Of Life Questionnaire, Ages 12+ (RQLQ[S]+12) Score at Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 52: ITT Population With Comorbid Allergic Rhinitis [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 52 ]RQLQ(S)+12 is a self-administered questionnaire with standardized activities developed to measure health-related quality of life signs and symptoms that are most problematic in those 12 to 75 years of age, as a result of perennial or seasonal allergic rhinitis. There are 28 items on RQLQ(S) in 7 domains: activities (3 items), sleep (3 items), non-nose/eye symptoms (7 items), practical problems (3 items), nasal symptoms (4 items), eye symptoms (4 items) and emotional (4 items). RQLQ(S)+12 responses are based on 7-point likert scale with responses ranging from 0 (not troubled) to 6 (extremely troubled). Individual items within RQLQ(S)+12 are equally weighted. The overall score is calculated as the mean score of all items. Higher scores indicated more health-related quality of life impairment (lower scores better).
