Brief description Acute exacerbations of asthma add considerably to the economic and social burden imposed by asthma. Current asthma treatment frequently controls underlying asthma but does not prevent acute exacerbations in exacerbation-prone asthmatics. This trial, based on our asthma research, provides new hope that acute asthma can be prevented.
