The authors compared adjustment at outpatient visits guided by physician assessment of asthma control (symptoms, rescue therapy, pulmonary function), based on exhaled nitric oxide, or on a day-to-day basis guided by symptoms in 342 adults with mild to moderate asthma controlled by low-dose inhaled corticosteroid therapy. There were no significant differences in time to treatment failure, the primary end point.This study was designed to be a superiority study to show that one approach was superior to another.
