Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of inhaled ciclesonide at three different dose levels compared with placebo with respect to pulmonary function, asthma symptoms, and use of rescue medication in children aged 6-11 years with asthma. Treatment medication will be administered as follows: ciclesonide or placebo will be inhaled once daily in the evening. The study consists of a baseline period (2 to 4 weeks) and a treatment period (12 weeks). The study provides further data on safety and tolerability of ciclesonide.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change From Baseline in Morning Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)
PEF is the maximum speed of expiration. A portable electronic PEF meter was used for the home PEF readings. The patients recorded PEF daily, in the morning immediately after getting up. Readings were done preferably at least 4 hours after use of rescue medication and before inhalation of the study medication. At each measurement, three readings were obtained in the standing position. All three values were recorded in the diary; the highest value was used for evaluation. The higher change from Baseline values are the best. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with the baseline value and age as covariates was used for analysis. Last observation carried forward.
