| Main Objective: To demonstrate equivalence of the test IMP, ComboFS 250 mcg/25 mcg and 125 mcg/25 mcg of fluticasone propionate and salmeterol to the reference IMP, Seretide® Diskus® 500 mcg/50 mcg and 250 mcg/50 mcg of fluticasone propionate and salmeterol, regarding the change from baseline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at day 56 and day 112 as well as baseline adjusted area under the serial FEV1 from 0 to 12 hours (AUC0-12 hours) on the first day of treatment. Primary objective will be assessed in the first 40 subjects enrolled, while primary objective of the study for the change from baseline in FEV1 at the end of each 8-week treatment period will be assessed in other patients enrolled. The limitation of the size of population is motivated by technical difficulties in performing serial spirometry in COVID pandemic, while the size of the subpopulation under this analysis should be sufficient to provide required testing power. ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives will include the evaluation of the change from baseline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at day 56 and day 112 as well as changes in morning peak expiratory flow (PEF) rate, analysis of FEV1 measurements performed on each visit, as well as the assessment of Asthma Control Questionnaire results. Moreover, safety of the IMPs, in particular changes in morning serum and serial blood collection samples cortisol levels will be evaluated. Secondary objective of the study for baseline adjusted under the serial FEV1 from time 0 to 12 hours (AUC0-12 hours) at the end of each study period and serial serum cortisol levels will be assessed in the first 40 subjects enrolled to the study, while other secondary objectives of the study will be assessed in the relevant population from the whole group of subjects enrolled to the study. Safety parameters will include, among others, the assessment of serum potassium levels and results of ECG examinations.;Primary end point(s): To demon | — |

| Secondary end point(s): The secondary objectives will include the evaluation of baseline adjusted FEV1 AUC 0-12 hours at the end of each study periods, which will be evaluated on day 56, and day 112, as well as the evaluation of changes in morning peak expiratory flow (PEF) rate, analysis of FEV1 measurements performed each visit, as well as the assessment of Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) results. Moreover, safety of the IMPs, in particular changes in morning serum and serial blood collection samples cortisol levels will be evaluated. Secondary endpoint of the study for baseline adjusted under the serial FEV1 from time 0 to 12 hours (AUC0-12 hours) at the end of each study period and serial serum cortisol levels will be assessed in the relevant subpopulation of the first 40 subjects enrolled to the study, while other secondary endpoints will be assessed in the relevant population from the whole group of subjects enrolled to the study. Safety The following safety parameters will be assessed: 1. Safety laboratory examination: haematology, clinical chemistry (serum potassium levels in particular) and cortisol levels; 2. Vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature); 3. Results of ECG examination; 4. Results of physical examination; 5. Adverse events. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 0, 14,4 2, 56, 70, 98, 112. | — |
