In SAM40027, the two treatment groups were well matched for all demographic<br />
characteristics. The study was divided into two phases, Phase1: treatment step-up in<br />
which treatment was stepped-up every 12 weeks until “Total Control” was achieved or<br />
the highest dose of study drug was reached and Phase 2: treatment at constant dose. A<br />
broad range of subjects were included in the study and were stratified into 3 groups<br />
according to baseline asthma therapy over the 6 months prior to randomization; Stratum<br />
1: ICS naïve or no ICS in last 6 months; Stratum 2: using low doses of inhaled<br />
corticosteroid (ICS) in the previous 6 months (≤500mcg BDP daily or equivalent, i.e.<br />
≤250mcg of FP); Stratum 3: using moderate doses of ICS in the previous 6 months<br />
(>500mcg-1000mcg BDP daily or equivalent, i.e. >250-500mcg of FP).<br />
SAM40027 assessed two pre-defined levels of asthma control: “Well-Controlled”<br />
(primary efficacy endpoint) and “Total Control”.<br />
