E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Informed Consent: Prior to commencing any study related activities, subjects must be able and willing to provide written informed consent. 2. MEA115588 or MEA115575 study completion: Completion of the double-blind investigational product treatment during MEA115588 or MEA115575. 3. Current Anti-Asthma Therapy: Asthma is currently being treated with a controller medication (i.e., ICS or other asthma controlled medication) and the subject has been on a controller medication for the past 12 weeks. Subjects will be expected to continue controller therapy for the duration of the study. 4. Male or eligible female subjects: 5. To be eligible for entry into the study, females of childbearing potential must commit to consistent and correct use of an acceptable method of birth control (Appendix 2) for the duration of the trial and for 4 months after the last study drug administration. 6. A serum pregnancy test is required of all females at the initial Baseline Visit (Visit 1). In addition, a urine pregnancy test will be performed for all females prior to enrollment, during each scheduled study visit prior to the injection of investigational product, and during the Follow-up Visit. |
1. Consentimiento informado: antes de comenzar cualquier actividad relacionada con el estudio, el sujeto debe estar capacitado y dispuesto a proporcionar su consentimiento informado por escrito. 2. Finalización del estudio MEA115588 o MEA115575: finalización del tratamiento doble ciego con el producto en investigación durante el estudio MEA115588 o MEA115575. 3. Terapia actual contra el asma: en la actualidad, el asma se trata con un fármaco de control (es decir, CSI u otro fármaco de control) y el sujeto lo lleva tomando las últimas 12 semanas. Se espera que los sujetos continúen con el tratamiento de control durante todo el estudio. 4. Sujetos masculinos o femeninos que sean elegibles: 5. Para poder participar en el estudio, las mujeres en edad fértil deben comprometerse a utilizar de forma correcta y constante un método anticonceptivo apropiado (Apéndice 2) durante todo el ensayo y hasta los 4 meses después de la última administración del fármaco del estudio. 6. Se requiere una prueba sérica de embarazo de todas las pacientes en la visita inicial (visita 1). Asimismo, todas las pacientes se someterán a una prueba de embarazo de orina antes de su inclusión, en cada visita programada antes de la inyección del producto en investigación y en la visita de seguimiento. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Hypersensitivity: Hypersensitivity reaction related to study medication during the MEA115588 or MEA115575 that led to patient withdrawal. Subjects who experienced a localized injection site reaction do not need to be excluded. 2. Health Status: Clinically significant change in health status during MEA115588 or MEA115575 which in the opinion of the investigator would make the subject unsuitable for participation in this long-term study. 3. Malignancy: A current malignancy or malignancy that developed during MEA115588 or MEA115575 (subjects that had localized carcinoma of the skin which was resected for cure will not be excluded). [Note for South Korea: Korean subjects with a diagnosis of malignancy within 5 years are excluded] 4. Prior SAE: A study related SAE in MEA115588 or MEA115575 that was assessed as possibly related to study medication by the investigator. 5. Pregnancy: Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Subjects should not be enrolled if they plan to become pregnant during the time of study participation. 6. ECG: Baseline ECG which has a clinically significant abnormality or which shows QTcF <=450msec or QTcF <=480msec for subjects with Bundle Branch Block. 7. Smoking status: Current smokers Subjects should also be excluded if any of the following are met: 1. Liver Function: Liver Function Tests that meet any of the following during one of the last treatment visits in MEA115588 or MEA115575 : - ALT >=2 x ULN (upper limit of normal) - AST >=2 x ULN - Alk Phos >=2 x ULN |
1. Hipersensibilidad: reacción de hipersensibilidad relacionada con el fármaco del estudio durante el MEA115588 o MEA115575, que dio lugar a la retirada del paciente del estudio. Los pacientes que desarrollaron una reacción localizada en el lugar de la inyección, no es necesario que sean excluidos. 2. Estado de salud: cambio del estado de salud clínicamente significativo durante el estudio MEA115588 o MEA115575 que, en opinión del investigador, haría que el sujeto no fuera adecuado para un estudio a largo plazo. 3. Neoplasia maligna: una neoplasia maligna actual o que apareció durante los estudios MEA115588 o MEA115575 (no se excluirá a los sujetos que presentaron carcinoma cutáneo localizado y que se extirpó para su cura). [Nota para Corea del Sur: se excluye a los sujetos coreanos que hayan sido diagnosticados con neoplasia maligna en los últimos 5 años]. 4. AAG previos: un AAG en los estudios MEA115588 o MEA115575, que se consideró como posiblemente relacionado con la medicación del estudio por parte del investigador. 5. Embarazo: pacientes que estén embarazadas o en periodo de lactancia. No se debe incluir a pacientes que estén planeando quedarse embarazadas durante el tiempo de participación en el estudio. 6. ECG: ECG basal con una anomalía clínicamente significativa o que muestra un QTcF <=450 mseg o QTcF <= 480 mseg para sujetos con bloqueo de rama. 7. Estado de tabaquismo: fumadores actuales. También se debe excluir a los sujetos si se cumple alguna de las situaciones siguientes: 1. Función hepática: pruebas de función hepática que cumplan cualquiera de las condiciones siguientes durante una de las últimas visitas de tratamiento del estudio MEA115588 o MEA115575: - ALT >= 2 x LSN (límite superior del valor normal). - AST >= 2 x LSN. - Fosfatasa alcalina >= 2 x LSN. - Bilirrubina > 1,5 x LSN (bilirrubina aislada > 1,5 x LSN es aceptable si la bilirrubina está fraccionada y la bilirrubina directa es < 35%) . 2. Estado de la hepatitis: resultado positivo del antígeno de superficie de la hepatitis B (HBsAg) en visita 1. 3. Revisión del ECG: anomalía clínicamente significativa al realizar la revisión centralizada del ECG durante una de las últimas visitas de tratamiento en el estudio MEA115588 o MEA115575. |
