Childhood Asthma Research and Education (CARE) Network Trial - Maintenance Versus Intermittent Inhaled Steroids in Wheezing Toddlers (MIST)
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Budesonide and Placebo Budesonide for Asthma. Completed, enrolled 278 participants across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
Asthma affects about 4 million children in the United States and is a leading cause of hospitalizations and school absenteeism. Continuous wheezing in very young children may develop into asthma. Low doses of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are commonly prescribed to treat children with particularly bad wheezing episodes. This study will compare the safety and effectiveness of low doses of ICS taken daily versus higher doses of ICS taken only during respiratory tract illnesses for toddlers with continuous wheezing or coughing illnesses.

Timeline
Interventions
Participants in Arm 1 will receive 0.5 mg of budesonide once a day. Participants in Arm 2 will receive 1 mg of budesonide twice a day for 7 days at the onset of respiratory tract illnesses.
Participants in Arm 1 will receive placebo budesonide each morning during respiratory tract illnesses for 7 days. Participants in Arm 2 will receive placebo budesonide once a day for the entire study, other than when they have a respiratory tract illness.
