Study information

Study designMulticentre randomised double blind placebo controlled parallel group trial
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typePrevention
Scientific title
Study acronymAt RISC
Study objectivesAsthma reduction at age 6 is possible with inhaled corticosteroids in children of 1-4.5 years old with a familial predisposition for asthma in the first degree, who develop wheeze symptoms.
Ethics approval(s)Received from local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAsthma
InterventionAfter written parental informed consent has been obtained the children are randomly assigned to receive one of the following drug treatments for 12 months:
First 4 weeks:
Budesonide 2 puffs 200 ug/puff MDI via Nebunette spacer with appropriate facemask
Next 11 months:
Budesonide 1 puff 200 ug MDI via Nebunette spacer with appropriate facemask
OR
Placebo-to-match-budesonide MDI via Nebunette spacer with appropriate facemask
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureThe determination of the effect of a course of 1 month budesonide 400 ug MDI via Nebunette and 11 months budesonide 200 ug versus placebo MDI via Nebunette on the development of asthma at the age of 6 years.
Secondary outcome measures1. Differences between the group who received treatment with budesonide versus the group who was treated with placebo medication occur in lung function characteristics, the body height, the combined asthma score, the presented and reported symptoms and exacerbations, and the adverse events
2. The cost-effectiveness of the treatment and the quality of life with the course of budesonide will be assessed
3. At age 6 changes in control group versus intervention group are described in the total IgE and the specific IgE for cat, dog, and house dust mite
