FEV1 is a standard measurement of air movement in the lungs of patients with asthma. It is the volume of air expired in the first second of a forced expiration. Improvement in FEV1 is a measure in the reduction of bronchospasm, the reduction of airway inflammation, or both. FEV1 was measured using forced expiratory air spirometry.

Data represent the slope estimate of change from baseline in FEV1 (measured in liters) at Week 16 versus baseline eosinophil count (measured in 10^9/liter) by treatment group.

Full analysis set (FAS) includes randomized patients treated with at least 1 dose of study drug, and had assessments in the timeframes. Pulmonary function tests were excluded if a limited subset of medications that could significantly confound interpretation were used within 7 days of scheduled visits.

Improvement in FEV1 is a measure in the reduction of bronchospasm, the reduction of airway inflammation, or both. FEV1 was measured using forced expiratory air spirometry. Positive change from baseline scores indicate improvement in asthma control.

During study (Weeks 4, 8, 12 and 16) average value was calculated using a mixed effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment (reslizumab or placebo), blood eosinophil count at baseline, and the interaction of treatment and eosinophil count as a random effect.

Full analysis set (FAS) includes randomized patients treated with at least 1 dose of study drug, and contributed at least once to the analysis. Pulmonary function tests were excluded if a limited subset of medications that could significantly confound interpretation were used within 7 days of scheduled visits.

The ACQ score was measured using the ACQ-7. Six questions are-self assessments; the seventh item is the result of the patient's % predicted FEV1 measurement. Each item has 7 possible answers on a scale of 0 to 6, and the total score is the mean of all responses (the total scale is therefore 0-6). A score of 0 indicates good asthma control; higher scores indicate increasingly poorer asthma control. Negative change from baseline scores indicate improvement in asthma control.

During study (Weeks 4, 8, 12 and 16) average value was calculated from mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment, visit, treatment by visit interaction, history of asthma exacerbation in the previous year, height, baseline value, and sex as fixed factors, and patient as a random effect.

Full analysis set of participants who contributed at least once to the analysis. ACQ were excluded from the FAS if they were obtained at scheduled visits which were preceded by usage within 7 days of a limited subset of medications that could significantly confound interpretation.

As with the primary outcome, data represent the slope estimate of change from baseline in FEV1 (measured in liters) at Week 16 versus baseline eosinophil count (measured in 10^9/liter) by treatment group. However the FEV1 subpopulation includes participants with more impaired lung function (% predicted FEV1 <85% at baseline).

The FEV1 sub-population analysis set includes all participants in the FAS with % predicted FEV1 <85% at baseline. Pulmonary function tests were excluded if a limited subset of medications that could significantly confound interpretation were used within 7 days of scheduled visits.

Full analysis set. Number of participants analyzed represents # with FEV1 baseline values (one reslizumab participant was missing a valid baseline FEV1.) Number participants with assessments in the timeframes are listed with the time designation.

The percent predicted FEV1 is the ratio of the volume of air expired in the first second of a forced expiration to the patient's predicted FEV based on a similar population without asthma. Percent predicted lung function values were transcribed directly from the lung function report to the CRF, without any calculation by Teva. Positive change from baseline scores indicate improvement in asthma control.

The FVC is the volume of air that can be forcibly blown out after full inspiration, measured in liters. FV was measured using forced expiratory air spirometry. Positive change from baseline scores indicate improvement in asthma control.

The FEF25%-75% is the forced expiratory flow at 25% to 75% of the forced vital capacity. FEF25%-75% was measured using forced expiratory air spirometry. Positive change from baseline scores indicate improvement in asthma control.

SABA are used for quick relief of asthma symptoms. The number of times SABA therapy was used was assessed using 3 day recall at scheduled visits. Participants were asked to recall whether SABAs were used within 3 days of the scheduled visit and, if so, how many puffs were used. Daily use was the average of those 3 days. Negative change from baseline scores indicate improvement in asthma control.

Full analysis set. Number of participants analyzed represents # with SABA use baseline values. Number participants with assessments in the timeframes are listed with the time designation.

Blood eosinophil counts were measured using a standard complete blood count with differential blood test at each scheduled visit. Follow-up was performed approximately 12 weeks after the 16 week treatment period. Endpoint is the last post-baseline assessment.

The ACQ score was measured using the ACQ-7. Six questions are self-assessments; the seventh item is the result of the patient's % predicted FEV1 measurement. Each item has 7 possible answers on a scale of 0 to 6, and the total score is the mean of all responses (the total scale is therefore 0-6). A score of 0 indicates good asthma control; higher scores indicate increasingly poorer asthma control. Negative change from baseline scores indicate improvement in asthma control.

An adverse event was defined in the protocol as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. Severity was rated by the investigator on a scale of mild, moderate and severe, with severe= an inability to carry out usual activities. Relation of AE to treatment was determined by the investigator. Serious AEs include death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, OR an important medical event that jeopardized the patient and required medical intervention to prevent the previously listed serious outcomes.

The safety analysis set includes all patients who took at least 1 dose of study drug, regardless of whether the patients were randomized.

Safety analysis set of participants with assessments

Counts represent the number of participants with potentially clinically significant ECG abnormalities as assessed by the investigator.

Safety analysis set

Counts of participants with a positive anti-drug antibody (ADA) response during treatment is offered for the experimental treatment arm. Blood samples were collected for determination of ADAs before study drug infusion at screening, weeks 8 and 16 or early withdrawal. Serum samples from patients who were treated with reslizumab were analyzed for ADA by Teva (Teva Biopharmaceuticals USA, Rockville, MD) using a validated homogeneous solution-based bridging enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Endpoint =week 16 or early withdrawal.

Counts represent the total number of participants at each time point with a positive immunogenicity test, and not 'new' participants with a positive test. An overall status of positive includes participants who had a positive ADA at any time point.
