Step-down of Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS) in Non-eosinophilic Asthmatics
AsthmaThere is growing evidence that non-eosinophilic asthmatics are less sensitive to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) than eosinophilic asthmatics. As non-eosinophilic asthmatic patients are treated by ICS according to international guidelines for asthma, the investigators would like to investigate whether stepping-down of ICS in these patients may be safe. Indeed, the investigators can reasonably expect that a progressive cessation of ICS is possible in some of these patients without any clinical worsening.
Safety and Efficacy of Berodual® Inhaled Via Respimat® Compared to MDI (Metered Dose Inhaler) in...
AsthmaStudy to demonstrate that at least one of the two doses of Berodual® (50 µg fenoterol hydrobromide + 20 µg ipratropium bromide and 25 µg fenoterol hydrobromide + 10 µg ipratropium bromide, 1 puff t.i.d.) administered via Respimat® device gives a bronchodilator response which is not inferior to that obtained from one dose of Berodual® (50 µg fenoterol hydrobromide + 21 µg ipratropium bromide, 2 puffs t.i.d.) administered via the MDI (chlorofluorocarbon-metered dose inhaler) with Aerochamber® and that the safety profile is at least as good when paediatric asthma patients are treated for four weeks.
