Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of beclomethasone dipropionate administered via BAI at a dose strength of 40 or 80 mcg per oral inhalation (320 or 640 mcg/day, respectively) compared with placebo treatment in patients with persistent asthma as assessed by the standardized baseline-adjusted trough morning (pre-dose and pre-rescue bronchodilator) forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) area under the effect curve from time 0 to 6 weeks (AUEC\[0-6wk\]).
Detailed Description:
Run-In Period (Days -14 to Day -1): Participants were provided with single-blind placebo breath-actuated inhaler (BAI) or metered-dose inhaler (MDI) device for twice-daily use after appropriate training and demonstration of the proper technique. Participants discontinued their current asthma therapy for the duration of the study.
Treatment Period (Day 0 to Week 6): Participants were randomly assigned to treatment and device type through a qualified randomization service provider (ie, IRT). The interactive response technology (IRT) system stratified patients based on treatment at the time of screening visit, either inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) or non-corticosteroid (NCS). During the study, blinded persons were blinded to treatment (active or placebo) assigned but not device (BAI or MDI) assignment.
