(Subjects not meeting this inclusion criterion may be re-screened once after at least 4 weeks.)
• Subjects with comorbid asthma must be stable, defined as no exacerbations (e.g., no emergency room visits, hospitalization, or oral or parenteral steroid use) within the 3 months before Visit 1 (Screening). Subjects who received inhaled corticosteroids are required to be on no more than a moderate dosage regimen as defined by 2015 Global Initiative for Asthma Guidelines (GINA) for 1 month before Visit 1 (Screening) and to be expected to remain on it throughout the study (GINA 2015). Subjects receiving inhaled fluticasone alone or in combination may not participate in the PK sub-study.
• Must be able to cease treatment with intranasal medications including, but not limited to, intranasal oxymetazoline or any other decongestants, intranasal antihistamines, intranasal steroids, intranasal sodium cromolyn, nasal atropine, nasal ipratropium bromide, inhaled corticosteroids (except permitted doses listed above for asthma) at Visit 1 (Screening). \[Note: intranasal antibiotics and saline are permissible\]

• Subjects (with assistance from parent or legal guardian if needed) must demonstrate the ability to complete the daily diary during the run-in period to be eligible for randomization.
• Must demonstrate correct use of the demo EDS.
• Must be capable, in the opinion of the investigator, of providing assent and the appropriate parent(s) or guardian must provide an informed consent to participate in the study.
• Have received mepolizumab (Nucala®), reslizumab (Cinquair®), dupilumab (Dupixent®), omalizumab (Xolair®), or benralizumab (Fasenra™) within 6 months of Visit 1
• Have nasal or oral candidiasis
• Have taken a potent CYP3A4-inhibitor within 14 days before Visit 1 (Screening)
• Any serious or unstable concurrent disease, psychiatric disorder, or any significant concomitant medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator could confound the results of the study or could interfere with the subject's participation or compliance in the study, or pose a specific risk to the subject due to study participation
• History or current diagnosis of any form of glaucoma or ocular hypertension (i.e., \>21 mm Hg)
• History of intraocular pressure elevation on any form of steroid therapy
• Current diagnosis of the presence (in either eye) of a cataract of Grade 1 or greater as defined on the Eye Examination Worksheet OR, less than a Grade 1 cataract with associated visual impairment
• A recent (within 1 year of Visit 1 \[Screening\]) history of drug or alcohol abuse or dependence
• Positive urine drug screen at screening visit for stimulants, opioids, or cocaine
• Have participated in an investigational drug clinical trial within 30 days of Visit 1 (Screening)
• Parents, guardian or caregivers of the subject who are employees of the investigator or study center, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies under the direction of that investigator or study center, as well as family members of the employees or the investigator.
