Summary

This trial aims to improve adherence to maintenance inhalers in asthmatic patients, which could help reduce hospitalizations due to asthma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 12-75 with mild or moderate persistent asthma who have been prescribed maintenance inhalers and as-needed SABA but are not using their inhalers regularly. They must own a smartphone, have missed at least two ICS refills in the past six months, and have partially controlled to moderately uncontrolled asthma.
What is being tested?
The study compares adherence to budesonide/formoterol taken only when symptoms occur versus regular use of maintenance ICS plus symptom-driven SABA. It aims to address the issue of patients not sticking to daily inhaler routines by testing a new method that matches medication intake with symptom occurrence.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include those commonly associated with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting beta agonists (LABA), such as throat irritation, hoarseness, coughing, headaches, and increased risk of infections like pneumonia.
