Trial Information

Does your child have Asthma? This study will compare two different medications and your child's asthma will continue to be treated.

The VESTRI study is being conducted worldwide. The study is comparing a medication which is a combination of two different drugs (fluticasone proprionate/salmeterol) to a medication that has only one drug (fluticasone propionate alone). Both the combination drug and fluticasone propionate alone are available by prescription outside of this clinical research study. It is important to note that this study will compare two different medications and your child's asthma will continue to be treated.
