Inclusion criteria
* Male or female patients who are 18-70 years of age * Has moderate-to-severe asthma with a pre-bronchodilator FEV1 of ≥45% and \<80% of the predicted normal value for the patient after withholding bronchodilators * Has ≥15% and ≥0.20 L reversibility of FEV1 within 30 minutes following administration of 360 μg of albuterol (pMDI) * Is stable on current chronic asthma treatment (documented asthma diagnosis and/or prescription for asthma medications) for at least 4 weeks prior to screening visit (Visit 1). * Has been diagnosed with asthma as defined by the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP 2007) at least 6 months prior to screening * Adult male or female patients of non-childbearing or of childbearing potential committed to consistent and correct use of an acceptable method of birth control
Exclusion criteria
* Has history of life-threatening asthma defined as an asthma episode(s) that required intubation and/or was associated with hypercapnia, respiratory arrest, or hypoxic seizures, asthma related syncopal episode(s), within past 1 year or during run-in period * Has history of any asthma-related hospitalizations within the past one year prior to screening visit (Visit 1) or during the run-in period * Has history of any pulmonary disorder other than asthma, including but not limited to: diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary hypertension, active pulmonary tuberculosis, or pulmonary carcinoma. * Has current evidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia or pulmonary fibrosis * Has recent respiratory tract infection that is not resolved within 4 weeks of screening and is considered significant in the opinion of the investigator * Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, significantly abuse alcohol or drugs, will be excluded. * Is taking any immunosuppressive medications within 4 weeks prior to the screening and during the study * Use of systemic or oral corticosteroids within 2 months or intramuscular depot corticosteroid treatment 90 days prior to the screening or during the run-in period for any reason other than asthma. * Women of childbearing potential who are lactating or pregnant at screening visit, as documented by a positive screening pregnancy test. * Has previously been randomized in this study
