Brief Summary  

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to determine whether, in patients with persistent, moderate-to-severe, non-atopic (skin prick test- and specific IgE-negative) asthma inadequately controlled by inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy (100 μg fluticasone BID), 12-weeks treatment with QAW039 at a dose of 450 mg QD (compared to placebo) improves FEV1 and symptom control as measured by the ACQ.
