5 CAMP Trial Treatments Randomization to: Budesonide 200 mcg by Turbuhaler bid Nedocromil 8 mg by MDI bid Placebo Rescue protocol: Albuterol as needed Prednisone, for exacerbations 5 mg/kg up to 60 mg for 2 days 2.5 mg/kg up to 30 mg for 2 more days 10/9/ CAMP Trial and Follow up Design Routine Care Screening and Baseline 5 visits Treatment Trial 3 visits per year Transitio n 2 visits Followup 1-4 visits per year 2-4 months Randomize Budesonide Nedocromil Placebo 4 6 years 4 months Study Rx Discontinued 13 years Enroll in follow-up study Refer back to PCP for Rx per NAEPP guidelines Enrollment in trial: Dec 1993 Sept ,041 children age 5-13 years at randomization Mild to moderate persistent asthma 10 5

6 CAMP STUDY: Results N Engl J Med 2000;343: Subjects randomized to budesonide (BUD) compared to placebo had Decreased airway hyperresponsiveness (P<0.001) 43% fewer hospitalizations (P<0.04) 45% fewer urgent care visits (P<0.001) 43% less prednisone use (P<0.001) Less rescue albuterol use (P<0.001) Fewer symptoms (P=0.005) More episode-free days (P=0.01) 10/9/ NAEPP Expert Panel Report 3: Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma The ICS are more effective than other agents on all asthma outcome measures. ICSs are preferred treatment for all aged patients with persistent asthma Alternatives (listed alphabetically) include cromolyn, leukotriene receptor antagonists, nedocromil, and sustained release theophylline 10/9/

8 Asthma Networks Childhood Asthma Research and Education (CARE) Network 5 centers: 1999, 2004 Clinical Centers University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM National Jewish Medical & Research Center Denver, CO University of Wisconsin Madison, WI Center for Urban Population Health Milwaukee, WI University of California (Kaiser Permanente) San Diego, CA Washington University, St. Louis, MO University of Arizona Tucson, AZ AsthmaNet ( ) AsthmaNet is a nationwide clinical research network created by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) in The purpose of AsthmaNet is to develop and conduct multiple clinical trials that explore new approaches in treating asthma from childhood through adulthood. AsthmaNet studies are being conducted in 13 states. Pediatric clinical centers: Albuquerque, NM Atlanta, GA Boston, MA Charlottesville, VA Chicago, IL Cleveland, OH Denver, CO Madison, WI Milwaukee, WI Oakland, CA Pittsburgh, PA Raleigh, NC St. Louis, MO San Francisco, CA Tucson, AZ Winston-Salem, NC 10/9/ Cohort: ages 6-17 years old with mild asthma TReating Children to Prevent EXacerbations of Asthma (TREXA) Run-in to demonstrate control on low dose ICS 10/9/

9 Results for the Primary Outcome: Comparisons with the Placebo Arm Lancet 2011; 377: /9/ Treatment Failures (Two Exacerbations in 6 months) Combined arm: 5.6%* Daily arm: 2.8%* Rescue arm: 8.5%* Placebo arm: 23.0% *p<0.05 compared to placebo 10/9/

10 Linear Growth From Randomization to End of Trial Conclusions Discontinuing ICS causes an unacceptable increase in exacerbations in children with well-controlled, mild persistent asthma Daily ICS is the most effective treatment for preventing exacerbations; adding rescue ICS does not add benefit Rescue ICS with albuterol demonstrates benefits over albuterol alone and avoids daily ICS administration and its growth effects 10/9/

11 Maintenance vs Intermittent Inhaled Steroids In Wheezing Toddlers (MIST) 10/9/ Result of MIST N Engl J Med 2011;365: A daily low-dose regimen of budesonide was not superior to an intermittent high dose regimen in reducing asthma exacerbations. Daily administration led to greater exposure to the drug at 1 year. 10/9/
