Pulmicort Asthma Prevention (Post-PAC) - Full Text View

Sponsor:	AstraZeneca
Information provided by:	AstraZeneca
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00233584

Purpose

This prospective study will evaluate the feasibility of the defined decision tree for the treatment of asthmatic young children. Children who develop episode (=3 consecutive days) of any troublesome lower respiratory symptoms are treated according to a strictly pre-defined multi-steps treatment algorithm until the age of 6 years.
