Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Adverse Events [ Time Frame: up to 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Recording of all adverse events experienced during the course of the study


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in 12 lead ECG including QT/QTc analysis [ Time Frame: Study visit 4, 8 and 12, greater than one hour after last dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    A 12-lead ECG (routine and QT/QTc) will be measured and recorded, provided that dosing of study drug has been performed greater than 1 hour prior to conducting the measurements.

  • Asthma Exacerbations [ Time Frame: up to 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Review use of resuce inhaler for treatment of asthma exacrbations occuring between doses of study medication.
