| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate that fluticasone propionate/ salmeterol 100/50mcg DISKUS BID (FSC 100/50) was superior to fluticasone propionate 100mcg DISKUS BID (FP 100) in controlling the asthma exacerbation rate in subjects of African descent with persistent asthma. ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of this study was to determine whether the measures of asthma control (AM and PM PEF, asthma symptoms and use of rescue albuterol) differed in subjects of African descent who received FSC 100/50 compared with those who received FP 100 alone. ;Primary end point(s): Asthma exacerabtion rate per patient per year;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Rate per year | — |
