Dataset from A Multicentre, Randomised, Double-blind, Parallel Group Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Salmeterol/Fluticasone Propionate Combination Product (Seretide®) 50/100 mcg With Fluticasone Propionate (Flixotide® ) 200 mcg, Both Delivered Twice Daily Via the DISKUS Inhaler, in the Treatment of Children Aged 6-12 Years With Symptomatic Asthma

This study is being conducted to investigate whether in childhood salmeterol/ fluticasone propionate 50/100 bd delivered via the Diskus® inhaler and fluticasone propionate 200 mcg bd delivered via the Diskus® inhaler are non- inferior in terms of symptom control. Additionally we aim to show that salmeterol/ fluticasone propionate 50/100 bd is at least as good in terms of lung function improvement and bronchial hyperreactivity and enables a steroid-sparing management of asthma in children.
