Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study is designed to show that pharmacotherapy guided by eNO and clinical standard of care produces a superior outcome to trial-based therapy guided by clinical standard of care alone.

Detailed Description

Patients with persistent, moderate to severe asthma will be randomized to receive therapy guided by either eNO and clinical standard of care (eNO group) or clinical standard of care (control group). An eNO treatment algorithm will be established for each patient in the eNO group at Baseline (Visit 1). Enrollment is estimated to be six months with a follow up period of twelve months.
