Brief Summary

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose, single-capsule budesonide(400µg)-formoterol(12µg) combination, in comparison with budesonide alone, both delivered via a dry powder inhaler, in 181 patients with uncontrolled asthma.This was Randomized, double-blind, multicenter, phase III, parallel clinical trial.
