Official Title:	A 12-Week, Randomised, Double Blind, Active-Controlled, Multi-Centre, Phase IIIB Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of SYMBICORT® pMDI 160/4.5 mg x 2 Actuations Twice Daily Versus Budesonide HFA pMDI 160 mg x 2 Actuations Twice Daily, in Adult/Adolescent (> 12 Yrs) Hispanic Subjects With Asthma

Further study details as provided by AstraZeneca:

Primary Outcome Measures:

To compare the efficacy of SYMBICORT pMDI 160/4.5 mg x 2 actuations bid to that of budesonide HFA pMDI 160 mg x 2 actuations bid, in Hispanic subjects with ICS dependent asthma.
The primary efficacy variable will be morning Peak Expiratory Flow (AM PEF)

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To evaluate the safety of SYMBICORT pMDI compared to budesonide.
To collect a peripheral blood sample for pharmacogenetic testing in consenting subjects for future pharmacogenetic analyses to be conducted outside the scope of the clinical study report
