  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double-Blind, Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Study Primary Completion Date: December 2007

Detailed Clinical Trial Description

A multicentre randomised, double-blind, parallel-group study to compare the salmeterol/fluticasone propionate combination (SERETIDETM DISKUSTM 50/100) 50/100µg one inhalation twice daily with fluticasone propionate (FLIXOTIDETM DISKUSTM 100) 100µg one inhalation twice daily as initial maintenance therapy for 12 weeks in adults with persistent moderate asthma

Intervention(s) in this Clinical Trial

  • Drug: SERETIDE FLIXOTIDE

Outcome Measures for this Clinical Trial

Primary Measures

  • to demonstrate that salmeterol/fluticasone propionate combination 50/100µg DISKUS (SFC100) is more effective than fluticasone propionate 100µg DISKUS (FP100) on PEF, in the initial maintenance therapy in persistent moderate asthma

Secondary Measures

  • To demonstrate that SFC100 bd is more effective than FP100 bd on FEV1 and on time to reach first week of asthma control. To demonstrate in a sub-group of patients, that SFC100 bd is more effective than FP100 bd, in reducing air trapping.
  • pre-dose FEV1 ; FVC ; FEF25-75% ; asthma control ; Daily Record Card assessment ; exacerbations ; ACT ; CT-scan ; safety ; AQLQ
