Brief Summary
Response of a 4 weeks treatment with daily once 320 µg ciclesonide on airway hyperresponsiveness assessed with mannitol. Hypothesis: Treatment with inhaled ciclesonide reduces airway hyper-responsiveness in 80% of hyper-responsive patients compared to 20% only in the placebo group and the group without airway hyper-responsiveness.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change of hyperresponsiveness to mannitol by measuring PD15 FEV1 after 4 weeks (improvement of more than at least 1.5 doubling dose)
measurements of PD15 FEV1 (provocative dose to produce a 15% fall in FEV1), bronchial hyperresponsiveness. A 15 % reduction of FEV1 means a bronchial hyperresponsiveness
4 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Change in PD20 FEV1 methacholine (Responsiveness to metacholine)
4 weeks
Change in FeNO (Nitric Oxide)
4 weeks
Change in ACQ (Asthma Control Questionnaire)
4 weeks
AQLQ (Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire)
4 weeks
Study Arms (2)
ciclesonide positive
ACTIVE COMPARATORHalf of the Mannitol positive patients were given ciclesonide. Half of the Mannitol negative patients were given ciclesonide. All patients in the "ciclesonide positive" arm received ciclesonide.
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORHalf of the Mannitol positive patients were given a placebo. Half of the Mannitol negative patients were given a placebo. All patients in the "placebo" arm received placebo.
