About this trial

This study will compare an asthma inhaler that uses a new climate friendly alternative propellant to an asthma inhaler with an existing propellant. We want to make sure both versions of the inhaler work the same way for people with mild to moderate asthma.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male and female adults (18 ≤ age ≤ 75 years) with a diagnosis of Asthma for at least 6 months prior to screening and with diagnosis before the age of 50 years;

Non-smokers, ex-smokers;

Body mass index: within the range of 18.0 to 35.0 kg/m2 inclusive;

low or medium doses of ICS (Inhaled Corticosteroids) alone; or

Disqualifiers

History of near fatal asthma or hospitalisation for asthma in intensive care unit, inpatient setting or emergency room access for asthma in the previous 6 months prior to screening, which in the judgement of the Investigator may place the subjects at undue risk;

Recent asthma exacerbation requiring systemic corticosteroids (SCSs), or emergency room admission or hospitalisation within 3 months prior to screening and/or during the run-in period ;

Non-persistent asthma: exercise-induced, seasonal asthma (as the only asthma-related diagnosis) not requiring daily asthma control medicine;

High dose ICS;
