Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Beclomethasone Dipropionate in Adolescent and Adult Patients 12 Years of Age and Older With Persistent Asthma

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\[0-6wk\]).
