Summary: Genotype Stratified Treatment with Anticholinergic vs Beta-Agonists (Long Acting) and Exacerbations (GABLE)

Do you take Advair or Symbicort for your asthma? The Asthma Research Center at Brigham and Women's Hospital is recruiting asthmatics aged 12-70 who have been diagnosed with asthma. The research study is 52 weeks long and involves 4 visits to the Asthma Research Center. The compensation is $200 and study would pay for medication co-payments up to $30.00. The study compares the effects of long-acting beta agonists (an inhaled medication commonly used in asthma treatment) to an anticholinergic (Spiriva, a medication commonly used to treat COPD) in people with two distinct types of asthma-related genes. All study medications are FDA approved. Call us at 617-732-8201 or 1-888-99 ASTHMA or visit us at www.asthmabwh.org or email contact information to arc@partners.org to learn more.
