Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Treatment Period 1 (double-blind, 52-week treatment period): In patients with moderate-to-severe asthma receiving SoC asthma therapy, to evaluate the long-term safety of QAW039 (150 mg once daily and 450 mg once daily), compared with placebo, as assessed by: - treatment emergent adverse events (AEs); - treatment emergent serious adverse events (SAEs); and - study treatment discontinuations due to treatment emergent AEs. Treatment Period 1 and Treatment Period 2 combined: In patients with moderate-to-severe-asthma receiving SoC asthma therapy, to evaluate the long-term safety of QAW039 (150 mg once daily and 450 mg once daily), compared with placebo, as assessed by: - treatment emergent AEs - treatment emergent SAEs; and - study treatment discontinuations due to treatment emergent AEs. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Treatment Period 1 (double-blind, 52-week treatment period): In patients with moderate-to-severe asthma receiving SoC asthma therapy, to evaluate the long-term safety of QAW039 (150 mg once daily and 450 mg once daily), compared with placebo, as assessed by: - the rate of patients with at least 1 treatment emergent AE by primary system organ class; and. - the rate of treatment emergent patient deaths and patient hospitalizations (any visit to the hospital requiring an overnight stay or an emergency room visit greater than 24 hours) due to an asthma exacerbation. Treatment Period 1 and Treatment Period 2 combined: In patients with moderate-to-severe-asthma receiving SoC asthma therapy, to evaluate the long-term safety of QAW039 (150 mg once daily and 450 mg once daily), compared with placebo, as assessed by: • the rate of patients with at least 1 treatment emergent AE by primary system organ class; and • the rate of treatment emergent patient deaths and patient hospitalizations (any visit to the hospital requiring an overnight stay or an emergency room visit greater than 24 hours) due to an asthma exacerbation. | — |
