• • 6. Subjects should be stable on their chronic asthma treatment regimen for at least 4 weeks prior to Enrollment at Screening Visit 1a.
• • 7. Currently non-smoking, defined as abstinence from all smoking, including marijuana and all tobacco products (i.e., e-cigarettes, cigarettes, cigars, pipe, ortobacco) within the past year, a negative cotinine screening test at Screening Visit 1b, and \<10 pack years of historical use.
• • 8. Able to replace current short-acting β agonist (SABA) with study issued albuterol inhaler for use as needed for the duration of the study.
• • 9. Able to withhold all inhaled SABAs for at least 6 hours prior to lung function assessments on study visits.
• • 10. Able to withhold all inhaled long acting β agonists (LABA) 24 hours before Screening Visit 1b.
• • 11. Able to discontinue current asthma medications (e.g., inhaled corticosteroids\[ICS\], LABA, etc.) during the Run-in period and for remainder of the study.
• • 12. Able to comply with study procedures, including correct use of inhaler devices and home peak expiratory flow (PEF) device, and maintaining an electronic diary (eDiary).
• • 13. Willingness to give their written informed consent to participate in the study.
