Comparison of Ciclesonide (80 mcg or 160 mcg Once Daily in the Evening) and Fluticasone Propionate (100 mcg Twice Daily in the Morning and Evening) in Pediatric Asthma Patients
The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of ciclesonide versus fluticasone propionate on lung function, symptoms, and use of rescue medication in children with persistent asthma. Ciclesonide will be inhaled once daily, using one of the two dose levels; fluticasone propionate will be inhaled at one dose level twice daily. The study duration consists of a baseline period (2 to 4 weeks) and a treatment period (12 weeks). The study will provide further data on safety and tolerability of ciclesonide.
