exacerbation of asthma... CONCLUSION: On the basis of nebulized short-acting bronchodilators, addition of

Safety and Tolerability of High-Dose Budesonide/Formoterol via Turbuhaler(R) in Japanese Patients with Asthma: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Crossover, Active Comparator-Controlled, Phase III Study. [2012.01.01]
Background: The use of budesonide/formoterol as both maintenance and reliever therapy in asthma is recommended in many countries; however, there are limited data available for the Asian patient population. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the short-term safety and tolerability of a fixed high-dose combination of the inhaled corticosteroid budesonide and the long-acting beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonist formoterol with that of the beta(2)-agonist terbutaline for acute symptom relief in Japanese adults with persistent asthma who were already receiving a combination of budesonide/formoterol maintenance therapy...

Clinical Trials Related to Entocort EC (Budesonide)

Budesonide in Treating Patients With Lung Nodules at High Risk of Developing Lung Cancer [Completed]
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. The use of budesonide may keep lung cancer from forming in patients with lung nodules. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well inhalation budesonide works in treating patients with lung nodules who are at high risk of lung cancer.

Acute Airway Vascular Smooth Muscle Effects of Inhaled Budesonide [Completed]
Glucocorticosteroids recently have been shown to have non-genomic actions that are plasma membrane-mediated and do not require gene transcription and translation. One of these non-genomic effects is the inhibition of adrenergic agonist transport into airway vascular smooth muscle cells with an increase of adrenergic agonist concentrations at adrenergic receptor sites and enhance the physiological effects of endogenous adrenergic agonists (e. g. locally released norepinephrine from noradrenergic neurons) or exogenous adrenergic agonists (e. g. inhaled beta-adrenergic agonists).

Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of a Fixed-dose, Single-capsule Budesonide-formoterol Combination in Uncontrolled Asthma [Completed]
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose, single-capsule budesonide(400µg)-formoterol(12µg) combination, in comparison with budesonide alone, both delivered via a dry powder inhaler, in 181 patients with uncontrolled asthma. This was Randomized, double-blind, multicenter, phase III, parallel clinical trial.

Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Rhinocort Aqua [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to compare Rhinocort with placebo in pediatric subjects aged 2-5 years with allergic rhinitis to study effects on nasal symptoms such as sneezing, runny and stuffy noses.

Trial on the Effect of Budesonide/Formoterol and Inhaled Budesonide Alone on Exercise-Induced Asthma [Terminated]
The purpose of this study is to find out if Symbicort® (budesonide/formoterol), a new combination asthma medication, is more effective than budesonide alone in controlling exercise induced asthma. The investigators hypothesize that in children and adults who suffer from asthma and exercise induced asthma there will be less decline in lung function associated with exercise when they receive the study medication.
