This study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase Ⅲ clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, PK characteristics, PD effects and immunogenicity of CM326 in subjects with moderate to severe asthma. The study consists of three periods, including an up to 4-week screening period, a 52-week double-blind randomized treatment period, and a 12-week safety follow-up period.

Annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations at Week 52
Severe asthma exacerbation is defined as worsening of asthma that leads to any of the following: use of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days, an emergency department visit due to asthma that required systemic corticosteroids, or an inpatient hospitalization due to asthma. The annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations is presented as the total number of exacerbations for the treatment group divided by the total duration of person follow-up.
Time frame: week 52
Change from baseline in pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at Week 52
Change from baseline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second taken before bronchodilator use will be reported.
Time frame: week 52
Annualized rate of subjects experiencing the event of loss of asthma control (LOAC) at Week 52
A loss of asthma control (LOAC) event refers to any of the following situations experienced by the participants: continuous use of rescue medication, a decrease in FEV1 compared to baseline, an increase in ICS compared to baseline, a decrease in morning or evening PEF, or a severe asthma exacerbation.
Time frame: week 52
Annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations associated with emergency room visit, or hospitalization at Week 52
Severe asthma exacerbation which leads to an emergency department visit.
Time frame: week 52
Time to the first onset of the severe asthma exacerbation event
Severe asthma exacerbation is defined as worsening of asthma that leads to any of the following: use of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days, an emergency department visit due to asthma that required systemic corticosteroids, and an inpatient hospitalization due to asthma. Time to first severe asthma exacerbation will be reported.

Time frame: week 52
Time to the onset of the first event of LOAC
Time to first LOAC event will be reported.
Time frame: week52
Change from baseline in Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 percentage of predicted value (FEV1% Pred) at each evaluation time point
Change from baseline in the ratio of FEV1 to the predicted value taken before bronchodilator use will be reported.
Time frame: week 52
Change from baseline in Pre-bronchodilator Forced vital capacity (FVC) at each evaluation time point
Change from baseline in forced vital capacity taken before bronchodilator use will be reported.
Time frame: week 52
Change from baseline in Pre-bronchodilator Maximal Mid-Expiratory FlowForced Expiratory Flow (MMEF) at each evaluation time point
Change from baseline in maximal mid-expiratory flow taken before bronchodilator use will be reported.
Time frame: week 52
Change from baseline in post-bronchodilator FEV1 at each evaluation time point
Change from baseline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second taken after bronchodilator use will be reported.
Time frame: week 52
Change from baseline in weekly mean morning and evening peak expiratory flow (PEF) at each evaluation time
The mean weekly daytime PEF is calculated as the average of daytime PEF measurements from Day -6 through the visit day. The mean weekly nocturnal PEF is calculated as the average of nighttime PEF measurements from Day -7 through Day -1 prior to the visit.
Time frame: week 52
Change from baseline in the Asthma Control Questionnaire-6(ACQ-6) score at each evaluation time point
Asthma Control Questionnaire-6(ACQ-6) is a questionnaire consisting of 6 questions used to evaluate the degree of asthma control in the past week. The score of each question ranges from 0 to 6 (on a 7-point scale), with a higher score indicating poorer symptom control. The mean ACQ-6 score is the mean of the 6 questions.
Time frame: week 52
Proportion of participants with an ACQ-6 Score improvement of ≥0.5 points from baseline at each evaluation time point
Individual changes of at least 0.5 are considered to be clinically meaningful, and a decrease of at least 0.5 is the responder definition for ACQ-6.
Time frame: week 52
Change from baseline in the Standardized Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ(S)+12) score at each evaluation time point
Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ(S)+12)is a questionnaire consisting of 32 questions used to evaluate the quality of life of asthma participants in the past 2 weeks. Each question is scored from 1 to 7 (on a 7-point scale) based on the severity, with a higher score indicating better quality of life.
Time frame: week 52
Proportion of participants with an (AQLQ(S)+12) Score improvement of ≥0.5 points from baseline at each evaluation time point
The responder definition for AQLQ(s)+12 is 0.5-point improvement from baseline.
Time frame: week 52
Change from baseline in asthma symptom score at each evaluation time point
The asthma symptom score comprises 10 items (5 for the morning and 5 for the night). The item scores range from "0" (no symptoms, no nocturnal awakenings, or no activity limitation) to "4" (very severe symptoms, inability to sleep, or extreme activity limitation). The daily asthma symptom diary score is the average of 10 items (the night assessment value of the previous day and the morning assessment value of the next day).
Time frame: week 52
Change from baseline in weekly mean rescue medication use at each evaluation
Change from baseline in the average weekly dose of rescue medication will be reported.
Time frame: week 52
Change from baseline in European Quality of Life - 5 Dimensions 5 Levels Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) score at each evaluation time point
The European Quality of Life - 5 Dimensions 5 Levels Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire assesses 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 response options (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems), reflecting the increasing levels of difficulty. The questionnaire also includes a visual analog scale, where participants will rate their current health status within the range of 0 to 100, with 0 representing the worst imaginable health state and 100 indicated the best health state
Time frame: week 52
Incidence and severity of Adverse events (AEs)
The severity of adverse events is recorded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 6.0. The incidence of participants with adverse events (AE) will be calculated.
