Study: NCT01479621

Intervention type: DRUG
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Fp MDPI
Description: Fp MDPI is an inhalation-driven multidose dry powder inhaler (MDPI) containing fluticasone propionate (Fp) dispersed in a lactose monohydrate excipient and contained within a reservoir. A metered dose of drug is delivered to a dose cup via an air pulse activated when the cap is opened.~During the treatment period, participants were randomized to 12.5, 25, 50 or 100 mcg of Fp one inhalation twice a day for a total daily dose of 25, 50, 100 or 200 mcg. Study drug was administered in the morning and in the evening

Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Flovent Diskus
Description: Flovent Diskus contains the active ingredient fluticasone propionate (Fp). Flovent Diskus 100 mcg was used twice a day, once in the morning and evening, for a total daily dose of 200 mcg of Fp. This therapy was not blinded as the inhaler device was different than the MDPI used in the other treatment arms.

Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: albuterol/salbutamol
Description: A short-acting β2-adrenergic agonists (SABA), albuterol/salbutamol hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) metered dose inhaler (MDI), was provided to be used as needed for the relief of asthma symptoms during both the run-in and treatment periods (to replace the subject's current rescue medication).
