A Study to Assess the Efficacy of a 5-day, 10- mg PBF-680 Oral Administration on Late Asthmatic Responses (LAR) in Mild to Moderate Asthmatic Patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male and female adults aged ³18, who have signed the informed consent form prior to initiation of any study procedures.
2. Subjects who have controlled asthma, diagnosed and determined as such as per the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines, with low-to-medium dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) as maintenance monotherapy and inhaled, short-acting β2-agonist bronchodilator as rescue medication, for a minimum 4-week period before screening visit V1. Controlled asthma under the stated therapy can be the current, stable condition presented at visits V0 and V1 or can be achieved through GINA guideline-based clinical practice through one or more discretionary V0b visits.
3. Subjects must have a body mass index between 18 and 35 kg/m².
4. Subjects must be able to perform acceptable spirometry in accordance with American Thoracic Society (ATS) / European Respiratory Society (ERS) criteria for acceptability and repeatability.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Current smokers, smokers within six months prior to Visit V1, or subjects with an smoking history greater than 10 packs-years.
2. Asthmatics classed as "intermittent asthma" managed in GINA-1 therapeutic step or asthmatics that need any maintenance controller medication beyond low-to-medium inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
3. Patients under any immunosuppressive medication whether asthma-related or indicated for any concomitant morbidities.
4. Subjects with a history of life-threatening asthma attacks (i.e. requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission, orotracheal intubation).
5. Subjects with a history of a respiratory tract infection or an asthma exacerbation requiring the use of antibiotics and/or systemic corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to visit V1, or who develop a respiratory tract infection or asthma exacerbation during the screening period. In the latter case, the subjects can be re-screened 4 weeks after the last dose of systemic corticosteroid (except for depot corticosteroids; see Table 5.5-1) or antibiotic.
6. Subjects that received bronchial thermoplasty treatment.
7. Subjects with a concomitant pulmonary or thoracic disease other than asthma that may compromise safety or interfere with efficacy outcomes as per site investigator assessment. This includes, but is not limited to, COPD (COPD) attributable to tobacco or α1- antitrypsin deficiency, cystic fibrosis, sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, active pulmonary tuberculosis, or any prior condition that led to pulmonary resection surgery or lung transplantation. Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis without clinically significant morbidity, moderate α1-antitrypsin deficiency without evidence of emphysema or related COPD, or past pulmonary tuberculosis that received proper medical treatment, are acceptable provided that the condition is not expected to interfere with pulmonary function testing as per site investigator assessment.
8. Subjects with any skin condition such as dermographism that may prevent correct interpretation of skin prick allergy tests.
9. Subjects with symptoms of angina pectoris or with a history of confirmed coronary disease or cardiomyopathy.
10. Subjects with A-V block in any degree, sinus bradycardia, tachyarrhythmia, unstable atrial fibrillation, long QT syndrome, corrected QT interval (QTc(F)) interval greater than 450 ms at screening EKG on visit V1, or any other EKG abnormality deemed clinically significant by the investigator.
11. Subjects who have a clinically significant laboratory abnormality at screening blood analysis on visit V2+24h.
12. Subjects with current uncontrolled arterial hypertension.
13. Women of child-bearing potential, unless they are surgically sterile (i.e. bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or complete hysterectomy), are at least 2 years postmenopausal, practice abstinence, or agree to employ effective contraception from Visit 1 through final visit. Acceptable contraception procedures are oral, transdermal, or implanted contraceptives, intrauterine device, female condom with spermicide, diaphragm with spermicide, or use of a condom with spermicide by the sexual partner.
14. Women supplying lactation.
15. Receipt of any investigational drug or biological therapy within 3 months before randomization in this study, or within 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is longer. Subjects ever treated with omalizumab or other biological therapies for asthma are not eligible.
16. History of any known immunodeficiency disorder.
17. Subjects with a history of malignancy within the past five years, with the exception of localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
18. History of treatment for alcohol or drug abuse within the past year.
19. Subjects with any comorbidity that could affect the safety or efficacy as per site investigator assessment.
20. Subjects not meeting other medication restrictions as stated in Table 5.5-1.
