Abstract

Asthma control is the goal of treatment, but little data exist to support treatment strategies for stepping down treatment once control has been achieved. We assessed whether either the long-acting beta2-agonist or corticosteroid could be reduced without loss of asthma control once control had been attained with fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (FSC). After 12 weeks of open-label treatment with FSC 250/50 microg twice daily, patients whose asthma was well controlled were randomized to FSC 100/50 microg twice daily or fluticasone propionate (FP) 250 microg twice daily. for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was mean morning peak expiratory flow over the randomized study period. Secondary endpoints included symptom scores, rescue albuterol use, and asthma control. During open-label treatment, improvements from baseline were seen, and 435 of 641 patients (68%) achieved well controlled status during each of the last 4 weeks of this period. A total of 246 patients received FSC 100/50 microg twice daily and 238 FP 250 microg twice daily. The adjusted mean change in morning peak expiratory flow from the end of open-label treatment was -0.3 L/min for FSC and -13.2 L/min for FP (treatment difference, 12.9 L/min; 95% CI, 8.1-17.6; P<.001). ...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
