- FEV1 must be at least 70% predicted after all restricted medications have been withheld for the appropriate intervals
- Must demonstrate an increase in absolute FEV1 of at least 12% within 30 minutes after administration of 360 mcg albuterol (4 inhalations x 90 mcg, ex-actuator) or of nebulized albuterol (2.5 mg), if confirmed as standard office practice
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has been treated in the emergency room for a severe asthma exacerbation requiring systemic glucocorticosteroid treatment, or hospitalized for management of airway obstruction within 3 months prior to the Screening Visit
- Has required ventilator support for respiratory failure secondary to asthma
- Demonstrates a decrease in absolute FEV1 of >20% at any time from the Screening Visit up to and including the Baseline Visit
- Requires the use of greater than 8 inhalations per day of short-acting beta-2 agonists (SABA) MDI, or 2 or more nebulized treatments per day of 2.5 mg SABA on any 2 consecutive days from the Screening Visit up to and including the Baseline Visit
