Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) at Day 28 of the Relevant Treatment Period
Pulmonary function was measured by FEV1, defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. FEV1 was measured electronically by spirometry. Trough FEV1 was the evening pre-dose, pre-rescue bronchodilator FEV1 measurement taken on Day 28 of the relevant treatment period. The analysis was performed using mixed model analysis of covarience (ANCOVA) with fixed effects of treatment, period, sex, and age. Participants were fitted as a random effect, and the period Baseline measurement was included as part of a bivariate response.
Time frame: Day 28 of the relevant treatment period (up to Study Day 112)
Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE) and Any Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Throughout the Three 28-day Treatment Periods
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Medical or scientific judgment was exercised in deciding whether reporting was appropriate in other situations. Refer to the general AE/SAE module for a list of AEs (occuring at a frequency threshold \>=3%) and SAEs.
Time frame: From the first dose of the study medication up to Week 16/Early Withdrawal
24-hour Urinary Cortisol Excretion at Day 28 of the Relevant Treatment Period
A 24-hour urine sample was collected, and the 24-hour urinary cortisol excretion was analyzed at Day 28 of the relevant treatment period.
Time frame: Day 28 of the relevant treatment period (up to Study Day 112)
Number of Participants With Evidence of Oropharyngeal Candidiasis at Day 0 and Day 28 of the Relevant Treatment Period

...and 6 more locations
Detailed oropharyngeal examination for visual evidence of oropharyngeal candidiasis was performed at Day 0 (clinic visits 2, 4, and 6) and Day 28 (clinic visits 3, 5, and 7) of the relevant treatment period.
Time frame: Day 0 and Day 28 of the relevant treatment period (up to Study Day 112)
Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure at Day 0 and Day 28 of the Relevant Treatment Period
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured at Day 0 (clinic visits 2, 4, and 6) and Day 28 (clinic visits 3, 5, and 7) of the relevant treatment period.
Time frame: Day 0 and Day 28 of the relevant treatment period (up to Study Day 112)
Heart Rate at Day 0 and Day 28 of the Relevant Treatment Period
Heart rate was measured at Day 0 (clinic visits 2, 4, and 6) and Day 28 (clinic visits 3, 5, and 7) of the relevant treatment period.
Time frame: Day 0 and Day 28 of the relevant treatment period (up to Study Day 112)
Number of Participants Who Withdrew Due to Worsening of Asthma During the Three Treatment Periods
Participants were withdrawn from the study due to worsening of asthma (lack of efficacy) if they experienced a clinical asthma exacerbation or if clinic FEV1 fell below the FEV1 stability limit, or if during the 7 days immediately preceeding a visit the participant experienced either four or more days in which the PEF had fallen below the PEF stability limit or three or more days in which \>=12 inhalations/day of albuterol/salbutamol were used. A clinical asthma exacerbation is defined as the worsening of asthma requiring emergency room visits, hospitalization, or treatment with an asthma medication (inhaled or systemic corticosteroids) other than study medication or rescue salbutamol/albuterol.
Time frame: From the first dose of the study medication up to Week 16/Early Withdrawal
