About the research

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of budesonide/albuterol metered-dose inhaler (BDA MDI) with albuterol sulfate metered-dose inhaler (AS MDI), both administered as needed, on the annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations in adolescents with a documented clinical diagnosis of asthma and at least one severe exacerbation in the prior year.

Who may be able to participate?

The list below is the sponsor’s full registry wording. It can include conditions, prior treatment, test results and other requirements. A match in search does not mean you qualify.

1. Low-to-high-dose Inhaled corticosteroid(s) (ICS)
2. Low-to-high-dose ICS or ICS/long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) with or without one additional maintenance therapy from the following: leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA), long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), or theophylline
