Asthma Treatment: 188 Efficacy Comparison of Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Versus Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol Combination Therapies in Subjects With Persistent Asthma: Noninferiority and Onset-of-Action Findings

摘要

BackgroundMometasone furoate/formoterol (MF/F) combination therapy is a new treatment recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of persistent asthma and currently under regulatory review by Canadian authorities. We report findings from a noninferiority study that compared effects of MF/F and fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (FP/S) combination therapies on pulmonary function and onset of action in subjects with persistent asthma.
