3. Otherwise healthy mild to moderate asthmatic (Part 2) with no clinically relevant abnormalities in the opinion of the Investigator as determined by medical history, physical examination, blood chemistry, hematology (including complete blood count), serology, urinalysis, vital signs, and ECG performed at screening.
4. History of mild to moderate asthma, diagnosed by a physician, which is well controlled at the present time (no history of sudden or severe asthma exacerbation in the past 12 months).
5. Are unlikely to exacerbate during the study due to seasonal allergen exposure.

4. History of extensive nasal and/or sinus surgery.
5. Known nasal obstruction including allergic rhinitis, nasal septal deviations, polyposis, severe mucosal swelling, nasal ulcers, nasal trauma or any other reason.
6. History of acute severe asthma attacks.
7. History of seasonal asthma exacerbation, in which case subjects should be outside the relevant allergen season.
8. Have evidence of any chronic medical conditions other than asthma requiring prescription medications (e.g., hypertension or diabetes).
9. Have used inhaled, intranasal, oral, or injectable corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to dosing. Subjects should be on stable treatment for at least 1 month prior to withdrawal.
