Primary Outcome Measures:

To assess the long-term safety profile of SYMBICORT pMDI 160/4.5 μg x 2 actuations twice daily compared to budesonide HFA pMDI 160 μg x 2 actuations twice daily, in African American subjects with moderate to severe asthma, over a 52-week treatment perio

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Patient reported outcome variables over a 52-week treatment period collected using Onset of Effect Questionnaire to assess pre-dose FEV1 and morning peak expiratory flow (AM PEF)
To collect a blood sample for pharmacogenetic analyses in all subjects
