About this study
In plain language
This study compares two inhalers used as needed: budesonide/albuterol and albuterol alone. It tests how well they prevent severe asthma attacks and how safe they are. It is for teens ages 12 to 17 with asthma who had at least one severe attack in the past year.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of budesonide/albuterol metered-dose inhaler (BDA MDI) with albuterol sulfate metered-dose inhaler (AS MDI), both administered as needed, on the annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations in adolescents with a documented clinical diagnosis of asthma and at least one severe exacerbation in the prior year.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Have a confirmed asthma diagnosis for at least 12 months and at least one severe asthma attack in the past year.
- Have used a daily asthma treatment containing an inhaled steroid for at least 3 months, with no dose change in the past month. Only certain added asthma medicines are allowed.
- Use a quick-relief inhaler as needed and use the albuterol inhaler supplied by the study.
- Be able to use the study inhaler correctly without a spacer, a tube that helps deliver inhaled medicine.
- Be able to do repeatable peak flow tests, which measure how fast you can blow air out.
- Follow the study’s birth control rules and have a negative urine pregnancy test if able to become pregnant.
- Have a body mass index (BMI), a measure based on height and weight, below 40.
- Sign a form agreeing to take part and follow study rules. A caregiver must also give written permission before any study procedures.
Who can't join
- Have had life-threatening asthma, such as an attack involving a breathing tube with high blood carbon dioxide, stopped breathing, seizures from low oxygen, or fainting; or have had more than 3 severe attacks in the past year.
- Recently finished treatment for a lower lung infection and severe asthma attack with steroids that treat the whole body, within 4 weeks of screening; or have an upper airway infection treated with antibiotics that has not cleared.
- Currently smoke, stopped less than 6 months ago, or previously smoked more than 10 pack-years, equal to one pack a day for 10 years. Smoking rules include tobacco, vaping, and marijuana.
- Have another major lung disease, use oxygen, or have another serious medical condition. Cancer must have been in complete remission, with no signs of cancer, for at least 5 years.
- Have a history of a mental health disorder or a hospital stay for one, or a suicide attempt within the past year; or have major alcohol or drug misuse, as judged by the study doctor.
- Used steroids by mouth or other steroids that treat the whole body within 4 weeks before the first visit, or used them for at least 3 weeks in the 3 months before that visit.
- Used a short-acting quick-relief asthma medicine by mouth within the past month.
- Have a known or suspected allergy to albuterol, also called salbutamol, budesonide, or other ingredients in the inhalers.
