History of diagnosis of COPD, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis or alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, or any other significant lung disease which may interfere with study evaluations. 7.ECG criterion: with a marked resting baseline prolongation of mean QTc interval 8.

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of at least one dose of CHF 6532 on moderate and severe asthma exacerbations rate compared to Placebo arm over 52 weeks of treatment. ;Secondary Objective: - To assess the effect of CHF 6532 on severe asthma exacerbations compared to Placebo over 52 weeks of treatment. - To assess the effect of CHF 6532 compared to Placebo in terms of change from baseline in pre-dose morning forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) at Week 52. - To perform a population PK analysis investigating the inter-subject variability in the drug exposure and the effect of selected covariates on PK. - To assess the effect of CHF 6532 compared to Placebo in terms of change from baseline on SGRQ, ACQ-5, AQLQ+12, at Week 52. - To collect data in order to assess the impact of study treatments on health economics outcome. - To assess the safety and the tolerability of the study treatments with respect to adverse events, electrocardiograms (ECGs), Vital Signs and Laboratory tests.;Primary end point(s): Rate of moderate and severe asthma exacerbation over 52 weeks of treatment;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 52 weeks | — |
