Primary Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of different doses and regimens of dupilumab in participants with moderate to severe uncontrolled asthma.
Secondary Objective:
To evaluate different doses and regimens of dupilumab in participants with moderate to severe uncontrolled asthma, with regard to:
* Safety and tolerability
* Dupilumab systemic exposure and anti-drug antibodies
Total duration per participant of approximately 43 weeks including a screening period (14-21 days), a randomized treatment period (24 weeks), and a post-treatment period (16 weeks).

| Dupilumab 300 mg q2w | Experimental | Drug: Dupilumab; Drug: ICS/LABA therapy; Drug: Salbutamol/albuterol; Drug: Levosalbutamol/levalbuterol | 2 subcutaneous injections of Dupilumab 300 mg (for a total of 600 mg) as a loading dose on Day 1 (Week 1), followed by a single 300 mg injection q2w from Week 2 to Week 22 added to stable inhaled corticosteroid/ long-acting beta-agonist (ICS/LABA) therapy. Salbutamol/albuterol or Levosalbutamol/levalbuterol was given as reliever medication. |

Salbutamol/albuterol or Levosalbutamol/levalbuterol was given as reliever medication. |
| Dupilumab 300 mg q4w | Experimental | Drug: Dupilumab; Drug: placebo; Drug: ICS/LABA therapy; Drug: Salbutamol/albuterol; Drug: Levosalbutamol/levalbuterol | 2 subcutaneous injections of Dupilumab 300 mg (for a total of 600 mg) as a loading dose on Day 1 (Week 1) followed by a Placebo alternating with single 300 mg injection of Dupilumab q2w from Week 2 to Week 22 added to stable ICS/LABA therapy. Salbutamol/albuterol or Levosalbutamol/levalbuterol was given as reliever medication. |
| Dupilumab 200 mg q4w | Experimental | Drug: Dupilumab; Drug: placebo; Drug: ICS/LABA therapy; Drug: Salbutamol/albuterol; Drug: Levosalbutamol/levalbuterol | 2 subcutaneous injections of Dupilumab 200 mg (for a total of 400 mg) as a loading dose on Day 1 (Week 1) followed by a Placebo alternating with single 200 mg injection of Dupilumab q2w from Week 2 to Week 22 added to stable ICS/LABA therapy. Salbutamol/albuterol or Levosalbutamol/levalbuterol was given as reliever medication. |
| Placebo q2w | Placebo comparator | Drug: placebo; Drug: ICS/LABA therapy; Drug: Salbutamol/albuterol; Drug: Levosalbutamol/levalbuterol | 2 subcutaneous injections of Placebo (for Dupilumab) as a loading dose on Day 1 (Week 1) followed by a single injection q2w from Week 2 to Week 22 added to stable ICS/LABA therapy. Salbutamol/albuterol or Levosalbutamol/levalbuterol was given as reliever medication. |
