The Asthma Research Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital is recruiting asthmatics aged 18-75 who use Inhaled Corticosteroids (i.e. Flovent 220 or Advair 500/50) and at least one other asthma medication to control their symptoms. The research study involves 7 visits over an 18 weeks period and involves 4 infusions. The study’s purpose is to assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication in the treatment of asthma.

Patients prescribed Advair®, Symbicort®, Salmeterol or Formoterol are randomized (like a flip of a coin) to receive therapy with inhaled corticosteroid along with either a long acting beta agonist or a long-acting anti-cholinergic to determine which group has better asthma control and if the asthma control is influenced by the kind of genes you have. This is 52-week study involving 4 study visits. Each visit lasts about an hour.

This research study will look at patients with moderate to severe persistent asthma. One group will receive standard treatment plus subcutaneous injections of XOLAIR for 80 weeks, while the other group will receive standard treatment plus placebo injections (contains no active medication) for 80 weeks. This study involves bronchoscopies. All subjects will receive their inhalers, like Advair, Flovent, and Albuterol, at no cost for the duration of the study.
