Primary Outcome Measures
Sputum total cells, differential and sputum levels of IL-1 and TNF alpha
Sputum total cells, differential (neutrophils, macrophages, bronchial cells and lymphocytes) and sputum levels of IL-1 and TNF alpha at the end of each treatment and at the final visit will be reported as absolute counts (10x6 cells/mL) and percentages (%) and change in % from baseline will also be presented.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of 8.0 mg of ASM8 when given daily for 14 days by the Aeroneb® Go nebulizer to subjects with moderate to severe asthma.
Detailed Description
The safety and tolerability of ASM8 will be assessed by performing a physical exam and vital signs, measuring the use of concomitant medication, routine laboratory tests, urinalysis, sputum analysis, serum IL-1 and TNF-α, lung carbon monoxide diffusion capacity, pulse oximetry and measuring AEs
There are 5 study phases: screening (phase 1), run-in (phase 2), treatment A (phase 3) with Active or Placebo, treatment B(phase 4) with Active or Placebo and end of study (phase 5) that includes a wash out period and a final visit.
