Study of Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Combination and Fluticasone/Salmeterol in Persistent Asthmatics Previously Treated With Inhaled Glucocorticosteroids (P04139)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of mometasone furoate/formoterol (MF/F) metered dose inhaler (MDI) 200/10 mcg twice-a-day (BID) and MF/F MDI 400/10 mcg BID and two doses of fluticasone/salmeterol combination (F/SC) (250/50 mcg BID and 500/50 mcg BID) in subjects with persistent asthma who require maintenance treatment on inhaled glucocorticosteroids (ICS); evaluator-blind. In addition, the extrapulmonary effects on 24-hour plasma cortisol area under curve (AUC), of MF/F MDI 200/10 mcg BID, MF/F MDI 400/10 mcg BID, F/SC MDI 250/50 mcg BID, and F/SC MDI 500/50 mcg BID will be evaluated.
