Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The aim is to investigate whether asthma patients expressing low T2-activity, assessed by Serum-Periostin, blood-eosinophils, and FeNO can sustain their level of disease control during tapering of ICS. The overall aim of the study is to reduce the burden of corticosteroids in these patients. ;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): Change in Control Questionnaire (ACQ) from baseline to post-tapered ICS and/or time from baseline to drop-out because of worsening of asthma symptoms. Clinically significant change will be 0.5 points. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Week 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 26, 52. 2. Single measurement at drop-out | — |
