Participant Flow

Phase III. Studied period: September 12, 2005 (date study drug was first administered to first patient) to October 23, 2006 (date study drug was last administered to last patient). Study was conducted at 64 clinical sites.

Patients with acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma received standard treatments of inhaled β-agonist or oxygen inhalation to treat the acute exacerbations during the 60 minutes in the screening period before the study randomization.
