Abstract

To compare the efficacy and safety of once-daily inhaled ciclesonide 40 mug (CIC40), 80 mug (CIC80), and 160 mug (CIC160) with placebo in children with persistent asthma of all severities. Overall, 1031 children age 4 to 11 years were randomized into 2 identical double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel group studies consisting of a run-in phase followed by 12 weeks of treatment. Both studies were designed to allow for a prespecified integrated analysis. The primary outcome variable was change in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(1)) percent predicted between baseline and study end; treatment comparisons were assessed using analysis of covariance. Additional endpoints included asthma symptom scores, daily albuterol use, and safety, including hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function. Baseline characteristics were comparable; 59.4% of patients had moderate asthma, and 24.1% had severe asthma. All ciclesonide doses were associated with greater improvements in baseline to week 12 FEV(1) percent predicted versus placebo (CIC40, 11.97; CIC80, 13.58, P <.05; CIC160, 14.17, P < .01). Significant improvements in asthma symptoms (P < .01) and reductions in albuterol use were reported. Ciclesonide was well tolerated w...Continue Reading

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.

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.
