    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details The target population consisted of male or female children aged between 4 and 8 years who had clinician-diagnosed asthma of at least 3 months. Subjects were expected to be stable on treatment with albuterol as needed and/or inhaled corticosteroids and/or leukotriene receptor antagonists for 2 weeks prior to screening. The first subject enrolled on 06 May 2021 and the last subject completed the study on 08 July 2021. Subjects were enrolled at 2 US study centers.
    Pre-assignment Detail The randomized treatment phase started after a screening period with a maximum duration of 14 days. Subjects who were taking budesonide in any form at Visit 1 were switched to another corticosteroid with a washout of budesonide of 3 to 7 days. In addition to the 12 subjects randomized, 1 subject was screened but did not participate (1 screen failure).

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title AUC0-t
    Description Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time of last quantifiable concentration
    Time Frame A total of 10 samples were taken per treatment visit at pre-dose and at 10, 20, 40, 60, 120, 240, 360, 480 and 720 minutes after dosing.

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Budesonide PK samples were available from 12 children. There were 2 instances, one for each treatment intervention, where the pre-dose budesonide concentration was considered too high (16% and 46% of Cmax), potentially having an impact on the post-dose concentrations. There was also 1 instance in the Pulmicort Respules 1mg treatment intervention where post-dose samples were not collected due to difficulty with the catheter. PK parameters were not calculated in these three instances.
