Trial Outcomes & Findings for Childhood Asthma Research and Education (CARE) Network Trial - Best Add-On Therapy Giving Effective Response (BADGER) (NCT NCT00395304)
NCT ID: NCT00395304
Last Updated: 2018-07-02
Results Overview
One treatment period was ranked as better than another if the total amount of prednisone received during the period was at least 180 mg less, if the number of annualized asthma-control days during the final 12 weeks of the period was increased by at least 31 days, or if the FEV1 at the end of the period was at least 5% higher. If the prednisone threshold was met, then we ignored the number of asthmacontrol days and the FEV1. If the threshold for asthma-control days was met, then we ignored the FEV1. Otherwise, the order of response was determined by the FEV1.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Measured during the last 12 weeks of each 16-week treatment periodPopulation: ITT. Although only 157 participants completed all three treatment periods, there was sufficient data on 8 additional participants to include them in the analysis of the primary outcome.
One treatment period was ranked as better than another if the total amount of prednisone received during the period was at least 180 mg less, if the number of annualized asthma-control days during the final 12 weeks of the period was increased by at least 31 days, or if the FEV1 at the end of the period was at least 5% higher. If the prednisone threshold was met, then we ignored the number of asthmacontrol days and the FEV1. If the threshold for asthma-control days was met, then we ignored the FEV1. Otherwise, the order of response was determined by the FEV1.

PEFR variability is calculated as 100% times the difference between the evening and morning PEFR values, divided by the average of the evening and morning PEFR values, i.e., PEFR variability = 100% x (morning PEFR - evening PEFR)/((morning PEFR + evening PEFR)/2)
