Asthma

We are currently recruiting for two asthma studies

STUDY 1

Location: Wellington

We need the following people for this study:
Men or women ♦ aged 18-65  ♦  non-smoker ♦  had asthma for at least 3 months ♦ not currently taking steroid medication for asthma

This 6 week study is looking at the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medicine for asthma compared to a marketed medicine.  There will be 7 clinic visits and each visit will take about 3 hours. You will need to record your lung function at home and keep a study diary.


STUDY 2

Location: Wellington

We need the following people for this study:
Men or women ♦ aged 18-65 ♦ asthma ♦ non-smoker ♦ had asthma for more than 6 months ♦ taking only short acting beta-agonist (e.g. salbutamol)
This study is looking at the effectiveness of three new medicines at preventing asthma. The study involves 4 separate treatment periods, during which participants will take study medicine once daily for 21 days. There is a rest period of about 1 month between each treatment period, so the total duration of the study is 6-9 months. You will be asked to come to the clinic about 12 times during the study for assessments; 1 of these visits will take about 13 hours and 4 of the visits will require an overnight stay at the clinic.
