A School of Medicine study comparing the effectiveness of three asthma drugs needs volunteers.
The trial is part of a national study sponsored by the American Lung Association’s Asthma Clinical Research Center.
Adults and children over 6 years old who qualify will be assigned to receive one of three drugs — Flovent, Singulair and Advair— already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Volunteers will receive seven health assessments and free study medication, and they will be compensated for their time. Participants can also keep the peak-flow meter used during the study, which can be used to closely track asthma symptoms.
The University’s team is led by Mario Castro, M.D., associate professor of medicine and of pediatrics. For more information, call 362-8696.
