Study information
Scientific title
Nebulizer trial: evaluation of the influence of particle size of aerosolized adenosine 5'-monophosphate on bronchial responsiveness in patients with asthma and the effects of treatment with ciclesonide versus fluticasone
Acronym
Study hypothesis
The aim of this study is to compare the responsiveness of lower airways in adult patients with stable asthma after treatment with ciclesonide and fluticasone propionate. Treatment medication will be administered as follows: ciclesonide will be inhaled once daily at one dose level, fluticasone propionate will be inhaled twice daily at one dose level. The study duration consists of a baseline period (five weeks) and a treatment period (five weeks). The study will provide further data on safety and tolerability of ciclesonide.
