5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the role of versican and hyaluronan measurements in induced sputum as biomarkers of asthma. Enroll 10 subjects with mild persistent asthma who are not receiving treatment with a controller therapy.
Detailed Description
We will compare spirometry, eNO and sputum measurements of versican and hyaluronan before and after treatment with fluticasone 220 ug/bid.
