Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients with a diagnosis of asthma, and:
  • Receiving daily treatment with inhaled corticosteroid in a regimen that has been stable for at least a month prior to screening
  • Prebronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at screening ≥50 and ≤90% of predicted normal
  • An increase of ≥12% and ≥200 mL in FEV1 over prebronchodilator value within 30 minutes after inhaling albuterol

Exclusion Criteria

  • Smoking history >10 pack-years
  • Patients with a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Patients with seasonal allergy whose asthma is likely to deteriorate during the study period
  • Patients who have experienced a severe asthma attack/exacerbation requiring hospitalization in the 6 months prior to screening

  • Patients who have had an emergency room visit for an asthma attack/asthma exacerbation within 6 weeks prior to screening
  • Patients who have had a respiratory tract infection within 6 weeks prior to screening
  • Patients with concomitant pulmonary disease
  • Patients with diabetes Type I or uncontrolled diabetes Type II
  • Any patient with lung cancer or a history of lung cancer
