Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of JNJ-38518168 compared with placebo in participants with persistent asthma that is inadequately controlled despite current treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will be randomized (treatment group assigned by chance, like flipping a coin), double-blind (study investigators and participants will not know what treatment is being administered), and placebo-controlled (a placebo is identical to the study agent, but contains no active ingredients). A total of 160 participants will receive either placebo or JNJ-38518168 once daily. The study duration will be approximately 32 weeks and will include a screening phase of approximately 4 weeks, a 24-week placebo-controlled treatment phase, and a 4-week follow-up phase. Participant safety will be monitored throughout the entire study period..
