A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial on Efficacy and Safety of Fluticasone Propionate/Albuterol Sulfate Combination in Participants 12 Years and Older With Asthma

To be part of this study, you generally need to be 12 years old or older and have been diagnosed with asthma for at least six months. You should also be using a 'reliever' inhaler (like salbutamol or albuterol) for your asthma symptoms, whether you use other daily asthma medicines or not. If you are female, you must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study period. Your doctor can provide more details if you think you might be eligible.

There are also some reasons why you might not be able to join. For example, if you've ever had a very severe asthma attack that caused you to be put on a breathing machine, or if you've had a bad chest infection recently. If you smoke or used tobacco products in the last six months, or have other serious lung conditions like COPD, you would not be able to participate. It's always best to discuss your full medical history with the study doctor.

If you decide to join this study, your involvement would last for about 10 weeks. You would have several visits to the study clinic during this time. At these visits, doctors and nurses would perform various checks, including assessing your asthma symptoms, taking measurements of your breathing, and possibly blood tests. You would be given specific inhalers to use daily, which would either contain the new combination medicine, one of the medicines on its own, or a dummy inhaler (placebo). You might also be asked to keep a diary of your symptoms and how you're feeling. Throughout the study, the research team will monitor your health closely.
