Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 5 to 15 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Provision of signed written informed consent by patient's legal representative; when possible a signed written informed consent should be obtained from the patient themselves
  • Patients diagnosed as having bronchial asthma regardless of type of asthma i.e. perennial or seasonal, atopic or non-atopic
  • Males/females 5-15 yrs old who are able to experience to inhale with turbuhaler and diskus. the investigator will check whether the patient can inhale appropriately using training devises and "Turbuhaler trainer"
  • Patients with bronchial asthma who require treatment with inhaled steroids (patients with drug therapy, in whom asthma is poorly controlled)
  • Patients who are already treated with inhaled GCS should have at least 3 months prehistory of asthma before obtaining the written informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Use of regular(more than 3 days) systemic (oral, intravenous or intramuscular) steroids within 30 days before the observation period
  • The daily dose of inhaled GCS within 30 days before the observation period for the patients who are already treated with inhaled GCS is beyond fluticasone propionate (FP) 200 µg/day or beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) 200 μg/day.
  • Respiratory infections that, in the opinion of the investigator(s), may affect the efficacy evaluation e.g. lower airways infection such as pneumonia, infection with no available effective antimicrobial drugs or with deep seated mycosis within 30 days before the observation period.
  • Concurrent serious diseases of liver, kidney, heart or other complications which, in the opinion of the investigator(s), may either put the patient at risk because of participation in the study, or may influence the results of the study, or the patient's ability to participate in the study
  • Contra-indications (e.g., known or suspected allergy) to budesonide, fluticasone or lactose contained in the investigational product
  • Participation in another clinical study within 12 weeks prior to the observation period or during the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing budesonide and fluticasone in people with Asthma, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To investigate the effect of budesonide Turbuhaler® 100 μg/dose twice daily and 200 μg/dose twice daily for 6 weeks in Japanese children with bronchial asthma aged 5 years to 15 years old in need for inhaled glucocorticosteroid treatment (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Aug 2011.
