Time Frame: Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6, Week 7, Week 8, Week 9, Week 10, Week 11 and Week 12
|
Asthma symptoms were recorded by the patient each morning and evening in the asthma daily diary. Symptoms were recorded using a scale of 0-3, where 0 indicates no asthma symptoms. The daily asthma symptom total score was calculated by taking the sum of the daytime score recorded in the evening and the nighttime score recorded the following morning. The weekly total asthma score was averaged from the daily scores over a 7 day period, with score ranging from 0 to 6, where 0 indicates no asthma symptoms. The changes from baseline of weekly total asthma score are compared between benralizumab 30 mg Q4W and placebo by using the mixed-effect model repeated measures (MMRM) with baseline blood eosinophil count (≥300 cells/μL or <300 cells/μL), protocol specified visit, region (Europe or North America) and treatment*visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline total asthma score as a covariate. Changes at Week 12 were calculated based on patients with both baseline and Week 12. |

Time Frame: Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6, Week 7, Week 8, Week 9, Week 10, Week 11 and Week 12
|
The number of rescue medication inhalations and nebulizer treatments taken were recorded by the patient in the asthma daily diary twice daily. The number of inhalations (puffs) per day was calculated as [number of night inhaler puffs] + 2 x [number of night nebulizer times] + number of day inhaler puffs + 2 x [number of day nebulizer times]. The changes from baseline in weekly total asthma rescue medication use (puffs) are compared between benralizumab 30 mg Q4W and placebo by using the mixed-effect model repeated measures (MMRM) with baseline blood eosinophil count (≥300 cells/μL or <300 cells/μL), protocol specified visit, region (Europe or North America) and treatment*visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline total asthma rescue medication use (puffs) as a covariate. Changes at Week 12 were calculated based on patients with both baseline and Week 12. |

Time Frame: Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6, Week 7, Week 8, Week 9, Week 10, Week 11 and Week 12
|
Nocturnal awakenings due to asthma symptoms and requiring rescue medication use was recorded by the patient in the asthma daily diary each morning. Proportion of nights with nocturnal awakenings was defined as the number of nights with awakenings due to asthma and requiring rescue medication divided by number of nights with data for awakening due to asthma. The outcome variable for proportion of nights with nocturnal awakenings was the change from baseline at Week 12 in weekly proportion of nights with nocturnal awakenings. The changes are compared between benralizumab 30 mg Q4W and placebo by using the mixed-effect model repeated measures (MMRM) with baseline blood eosinophil count (≥300 cells/μL or <300 cells/μL), protocol specified visit, region (Europe or North America) and treatment*visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline proportion of nights with nocturnal awakenings as a covariate. Changes at Week 12 were calculated based on patients with both baseline and Week 12. |
Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6, Week 7, Week 8, Week 9, Week 10, Week 11 and Week 12
|
Change From Baseline in Mean ACQ-6 Score at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8 and Week 12
|
The asthma control questionnaire, ACQ-6, consists of six questions; all assessed on a 7-point scale from 0 to 6, where 0 represents good control and 6 represents poor control. The overall score is the mean of the responses to each of the six questions. The changes from baseline of ACQ-6 score are compared between benralizumab 30 mg Q4W and placebo by using the mixed-effect repeated measures (MMRM) with baseline blood eosinophil count (≥300 cells/μL or <300 cells/μL), protocol specified visit (Week 4, Week 8, Week 12), region (Europe or North America) and treatment*visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline ACQ-6 score as a covariate. Changes at Week 12 were calculated based on patients with both baseline and Week 12. |
Baseline, Week 4, Week 8 and Week 12
|
Asthma Exacerbations
Time Frame: Up to Week 12
|
An asthma exacerbation was defined as a worsening of asthma that led to use of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days (a single depo-injectable dose of corticosteroids was considered equivalent to a 3-day course of systemic corticosteroids) or an emergency room or urgent care visit (defined as evaluation and treatment for <24 hours in an emergency department or urgent care center) due to asthma that required systemic corticosteroids (as per above) or an inpatient hospitalization (defined as admission to an inpatient facility and/or evaluation and treatment in a healthcare facility for ≥24 hours) due to asthma.
Number of patients experiencing an event included in the definition of asthma exacerbation was presented.
|
Up to Week 12
|
Change From Baseline in AQLQ(S)+12 Total and Domain Scores at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12
|
The asthma quality of life questionnaire for 12 years and older, AQLQ(S)+12, consists of 32 questions; all assessed on a 7-point scale from 7 to 1, where 7 represents no impairment and 1 represents severe impairment. The 4 individual domain scores (symptoms, activity limitations, emotional function, and environmental stimuli) are the means of the responses to the questions in each of the domains. The overall score is calculated as the mean response to all questions. The changes from baseline of AQLQ(S)+12 score are compared between benralizumab 30 mg Q4W and placebo by using the analyse of covariance (ANCOVA) with baseline blood eosinophil count (≥300 cells/μL or <300 cells/μL) and region (Europe or North America) as fixed effects and baseline AQLQ(S)+12 score as a covariate. Changes at Week 12 were calculated based on patients with both baseline and Week 12. |
Baseline and Week 12
|
Serum Concentrations (ng/mL)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 20
|
Blood samples (processed to serum) for pharmacokinetic assessments were collected from all patients at baseline prior to first benralizumab administration at Day 1, at the Week 12 visit or the IP discontinuation visit, and at the Week 20 follow-up visit.
Serum concentrations of benralizumab were determined using a validated electrochemiluminescent (ECL) immunoassay.
|
Baseline, Week 12 and Week 20
|
Peripheral Blood Eosinophil Levels
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 20
|
Peripheral blood eosinophil levels assessments were collected from all patients at baseline prior to first benralizumab administration at Day 1, at the Week 12 visit or the IP discontinuation visit, and at the Week 20 follow-up visit. Changes at Week 12 (respectively at Week 20) were calculated based on patients with both baseline and Week 12 (respectively Week 20). |
