Asthma Clinical Research Network (ACRN) Trial - Best Adjustment Strategy for Asthma in Long Term (BASALT)
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Symptom-based adjustment, Biomarker-based adjustment, and 1 other intervention for Asthma. Completed, enrolled 342 participants across 10 sites.
Detailed Summary
Asthma can be effectively controlled using inhaled corticosteroid medication. Treatment with inhaled corticosteroids often requires periodic adjustments to medication dosing and frequency levels. This study examines whether it is more beneficial to adjust corticosteroid treatment based on asthma symptoms and/or biomarkers of lung function versus standard medical guidelines.
