Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To demonstrate the efficacy of dexpramipexole in reducing severe asthma exacerbations.;Secondary Objective: • To demonstrate the efficacy of dexpramipexole on pulmonary function. • To demonstrate the efficacy of dexpramipexole on asthma control and quality of life • To evaluate the effect of dexpramipexole on blood eosinophils.;Primary end point(s): •Annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations (AAER) over 52 weeks.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 52

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): •Pre-BD FEV1, absolute change from baseline, averaged across visits at Weeks 36, 44, and 52. •Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 (ACQ-6), change from baseline, averaged across visits at Weeks 36, 44, and 52. •Standardized version of the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire for 12 years and older (AQLQ+12) change from baseline to Week 52. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Please refer to the clinical study Protocol
