Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Subjects with a documented history of persistent asthma, with the exclusion of other significant pulmonary diseases (pneumonia, pneumothorax, atelectasis, pulmonary fibrotic disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or other respiratory abnormalities other than asthma).
* Male or female between 18 and 70 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
* A female subject is eligible to participate if she is:
* Of non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use contraception method, if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrollment. For most forms of HRT, at least 2 to 4 weeks will elapse between the cessation of therapy and the blood draw; this interval depends on the type and dosage of HRT. Following confirmation of their post-menopausal status, they can resume use of HRT during the study without use of a contraceptive method.
* Child-bearing potential with negative pregnancy test as determined by serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test at screening and serum or urine hCG test prior to dosing and agrees to use one of the contraception methods for an appropriate period of time (as determined by the product label or investigator) prior to the start of dosing to sufficiently minimize the risk of pregnancy at that point. Female subjects must agree to use contraception until completion of the follow up visit or has only same-sex partners, when this is her preferred and usual lifestyle.
* All subjects must either be clinically stable on a low to mid dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (with or without a short acting beta-2 receptor agonist [SABA]) such as Fluticasone Propionate (FP) 100 to250 mcg twice-daily (total daily dose 200 to 500 mcg) or equivalent, for at least 4 weeks preceding the screening visit or be clinically stable on a low dose ICS/ long acting beta-2 receptor agonist (LABA) combination, such as SERETIDE/ADVAIR 100/50 twice- daily or equivalent (administered either in combination or from separate inhalers), for at least 4 weeks preceding the screening visit. Higher ICS/LABA doses (i.e. equivalent to SERETIDE/ADVAIR 250/50 or 500/50) would not be acceptable. Subjects must refrain from using their LABA for at least 24 hour (h) prior to the screening visit
* Subjects with a screening pre-bronchodilator FEV1 >= 60 percent of predicted. Predicted values will be based upon National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III).
* During the screening visit, subjects must demonstrate the presence of reversible airway disease, defined as an increase in FEV1 of >= 12.0 percent over baseline and an absolute change of >= 200 mL within 60 minutes following 4 inhalations of albuterol/salbutamol inhalation aerosol (or equivalent nebulized treatment with albuterol/salbutamol solution).
* All subjects must be able to replace all their current asthma treatments with albuterol/salbutamol aerosol inhaler at screening for use as needed for the run-in period and throughout the duration of the study. Subjects on LABAs must also withhold this for at least 24 h prior to the screening visit. Subjects will therefore be on SABA alone for the duration of the study, and on SABA and FF during the FF treatment periods. Subjects must be able to withhold albuterol/salbutamol for at least 6 h prior to screening and study visits.
* Subjects who are current non-smokers and who have a pack history of <= 10 pack years. A subject may not have used inhaled tobacco products within the past 3 months (i.e., cigarettes, cigars or pipe tobacco).
* Body weight >= 50 kilograms (kg) and Body Mass Index (BMI) within the range 19.0 to29.9 kg/meter^2 (inclusive)
* Based on single or averaged QT duration corrected for heart rate by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) values of triplicate electrocardiograms (ECGs) obtained over a brief recording period: QTcF < 450 millisecond (msec); or QTcF < 480 msec in subjects with Bundle Branch Block.
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 2x Upper limit of normal (ULN), alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin <= 1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35 percent).
* Capable of giving written informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form.
* Able to satisfactorily use the DPI

Inclusion Criteria for Randomisation to Treatment

* Evening pre-dose FEV1 of >=60 percent of their predicted normal at Day 1
* Daily diary compliance defined as completion of all AM daily diary data on >=4 of the last 7 consecutive days of the Run-in Period (not including the date of randomisation) and completion of all PM daily diary data on >=4 of the last 7 consecutive days of the Run-in Period (not including the date of randomisation)

Key exclusion criteria
* A history of life-threatening asthma, defined as an asthma episode that required intubation and/or was associated with hypercapnia, respiratory arrest or hypoxic seizures within the last 5 years.
* Culture-documented or suspected bacterial or viral infection of the upper or lower respiratory tract, sinus or middle ear that is not resolved within 4 weeks of screening and led to a change in asthma management or, in the opinion of the Investigator, is expected to affect the subject's asthma status or the subject's ability to participate in the study.
* Any asthma exacerbation requiring oral corticosteroids within 12 weeks of screening or that resulted in overnight hospitalization requiring additional treatment for asthma within 6 months prior to screening.
* A subject has any clinically significant, uncontrolled condition or disease state that, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the safety of the subject at risk through study participation or would confound the interpretation of the efficacy results if the condition/disease exacerbated during the study.

* History of severe milk protein allergy.
* History of sensitivity to any of the study medications, or components thereof or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation.

* Evidence of a severe exacerbation, defined as deterioration of asthma requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids (tablets, suspension or injection) for at least 3 days or an in-patient hospitalization or emergency department visit due to asthma that required systemic corticosteroids between screening and Day 1.
