Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel, 4-week study in 60 pediatric patients (4-11 years old) with asthma, comparing E004 with Placebo HFA-MDI in pediatric patients who are 4-11 years of age with asthma.
