Study Overview

Brief Summary: Primary Objective:

* The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of telithromycin versus placebo as a supplement to the usual standard of care during an acute exacerbation of asthma. Efficacy will be assessed by:

* Changes in the diary card summary symptom score assessed daily for 6 weeks, and
* Changes in the domiciliary morning Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) following oral telithromycin treatment

Secondary Objectives:

The secondary objectives of the study are:

* To evaluate the microbial activity of telithromycin during an exacerbation of asthma by:

* Assessment of the patient's clinical improvement relative to initial C. pneumoniae or M. pneumoniae status, and
* Analysis of the quantitative changes from baseline in C. pneumonia or M. pneumoniae by culture and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
* To evaluate the safety of 10 days of oral telithromycin as a supplement to the standard of care for patients with acute exacerbations of asthma
* To assess additional efficacy endpoints and health outcome evaluations following 10 days of treatment with either oral telithromycin or placebo, with either treatment used as a supplement to the standard of care for patients with acute exacerbations of asthma:

* Changes and daily variability in the PEFR during the 6 weeks of study treatment,
* Health status at follow-up (6 weeks)
* Pulmonary function tests:

* Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)
* Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
* Forced Expiratory Flow Rate (FEF25-75%)
* Need for additional medications (e.g., inhaled corticosteroids, oral corticosteroids, bronchodilator use),
* Time to next acute exacerbation of asthma.
