Overview
Brief Summary
This study will compare two treatment strategies (doubling the dose of inhaled steroids or adding a long acting beta2 agonist to the inhaled steroid at the same dose) in children not controlled by inhaled steroid alone at medium dose. The fixed combination SERETIDE 100/50 one inhalation twice daily will be compared to FLIXOTIDE 100 two inhalations twice daily.
Detailed Description
A multicentre, randomised, double-blind, double dummy, parallel group study to compare the salmeterol/fluticasone propionate combination (SERETIDE™) at a dose of 50/100mcg twice daily and fluticasone propionate (FLIXOTIDE™) at a dose of 200mcg twice daily, both delivered via a dry powder inhaler (DISKUS™) for 12 weeks in asthma in children aged 4-11 years not controlled by inhaled corticosteroids alone at medium dose

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean Change From Baseline in Morning Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) Over 12 Weeks in Intent-to-treat (ITT) Population
Time Frame: Baseline; Week 1 up to Week 12
PEF is the maximum flow generated during expiration, as measured with a peak flow meter and recorded in electronic diary record card (eDRC), performed with maximal force and started after a full inspiration. The mean morning PEF measurement was constructed by calculating a simple mean for each participant over the interval Weeks 1 to 12. All PEF measurements were converted to the Wright/McKerow peak flow meter scale for the purposes of analyses. The change from Baseline is then calculated by subtracting the Baseline PEF values from the individual on-treatment values. Baseline was calculated as the mean of the values recorded on the seven days preceding randomization. The analysis was done using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusted for baseline PEF, country amalgamation, age, sex and treatment.
