SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Recorded between 6:00 - 11:00 AM from previous 12 hours and 6:00 -11:00 PM from previous 12 hours for 14 weeks

Population: Full analysis set: It consist of all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study medication and contributed sufficient data for at least one efficacy endpoint (Primary variable).

The total score is calculated as sum of the morning and evening scores of each day and the treatment period mean score is defined as the mean of all total score recorded during the 12-week treatment period. Trt Avg=Mean total score of double-blind period values.(day/night score ranges from 0 to 3; 0=no asthma symptoms; 3= unable to do normal activities (or to sleep) due to asthma). Higher score represents worse outcome.
