Study of Safety of Foradil in Patients With Persistent Asthma
A 26 Week, Randomized, Active-controlled Safety Study of Double-blind Formoterol Fumarate in Free Combination With an Inhaled Corticosteroid Versus an Inhaled Corticosteroid in Adolescent and Adult Patients With Persistent Asthma.

Detailed Description
This was a 26 week, double blind, randomized, active-controlled safety study of Foradil in free combination with inhaled corticosteroid versus an inhaled corticosteroid alone in adults and adolescent patients with persistent asthma. The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate that the addition of formoterol fumarate to fluticasone propionate is non-inferior to fluticasone propionate alone in terms of the risk of composite serious asthma related events (asthma-related hospitalization, asthma-related intubation, and asthma-related death). The individual components of the composite primary endpoint (i.e., asthma-related hospitalization, asthma-related intubation and asthma-related death) will be assessed as a secondary safety endpoints.
The efficacy assessment is the secondary objective.

Change from baseline in Asthma control Questionnaire (ACQ - 6) total score at week 26.
Results of the Asthma control questionnaire (ACQ-6); The average score of the six questions is calculated as the sum of scores divided by the number of questions that were answered at the time point, as long as there were at least 4 questions answered.
The ACQ6 score is calculated as the mean of the responses to the first 6 questions of the ACQ.
The ACQ is a scale containing 7 questions, each question has a 7-point scale which ranges from 0 to 6; a total score of 0 corresponds to no impairment and a total score of 6 corresponds to maximum impairment.
