Groups 2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Symbicort | Patients were randomized to Symbicort and assigned to one of the following treatments (based upon ACQ at baseline and prior asthma therapy): Symbicort pMDI 80/4.5 μg x 2 actuations bid (morning and evening) or Symbicort pMDI 160/4.5 μg x 2 actuations bid (morning and evening). | 43 | 5,846 | OG000 | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Group 2 | Budesonide | Patients were randomized to budesonide and assigned to one of the following treatments (based upon ACQ at baseline and prior asthma therapy): budesonide pMDI 80 μg x 2 actuations bid (morning and evening) or budesonide pMDI 160 μg x 2 actuations bid (morning and evening). | 40 | 5,847 | OG001 | ClinicalTrials.gov |

| Type | PRIMARY | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Title | Number of Participants Experiencing an Event in the Composite Endpoint (Asthma-related Death, Asthma-related Intubation or Asthma-related Hospitalization) | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Description | Number of participants experiencing an event in the composite endpoint (asthma-related death, asthma-related intubation or asthma-related hospitalization), using events adjudicated and confirmed by the Joint Adjudication Committee. Cox proportional hazards model with terms for randomized treatment and strata for incoming control/asthma treatment was used to compare Symbicort and budesonide. Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals were estimated. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Time frame | Up to 27 weeks | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Population | Full analysis set (FAS) population comprised of all patients randomized to study drug. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
