On the other hand, formoterol has been shown to have a rapid beginning of action (3 minutes), persisting its effect during 12 hours and it has been shown to be as effective as albuterol in the treatment of a crisis.\n\nThe development of extra-fine particles has allowed reaching more distal zones in the lungs producing more deposition of the drug, which as well decrease adverse effects are lesser doses of the drug are needed.\n\nAccording to that, aims of this work is to determine whether extra-fine formoterol/beclomethasona are more effective in the treatment of asthmatic crisis when added to conventional treatment compared with conventional treatment in terms of pulmonary function, symptoms, inflammation markers and rates of hospitalization.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '70 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* previous asthma diagnosis by physician\n* spirometry with quality grade A, B or C\n* presenting with asthmatic crisis in emergency room\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* imminent respiratory arrest\n* respiratory comorbidities (COPD, cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, pneumothorax, bronchiectasis)\n* use of systemic steroids in 3 months previous\n* allergy to steroids\n* Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) less than 88%.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02345993', 'briefTitle': 'Extra-fine Formoterol/Beclomethasone in Asthmatic Crisis', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER_GOV', 'fullName': 'National Institute of Respiratory Diseases, Mexico'}, 'officialTitle': 'Extra-fine Formoterol/Beclomethasone in the Treatment of Asthmatic Crisis', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'C40-14'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Extra fine Formoterol/Beclomethasone', 'description': 'Group receiving the drug additional to standard treatment standard treatment consisting in: Albuterol 2.5 mg via nebulizer at baseline, 0, 20, 40 minutes + Systemic steroid (methylprednisolone 60 mg) at the moment of evaluation\n\n\\+ formoterol/beclomethasone, 3 puffs administered via aerochamber at baseline (0), 20, 40 minutes', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Extra fine Formoterol/Beclomethasone']}, {'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Placebo', 'description': 'Group receiving placebo additional to standard treatment consisting in:\n\nAlbuterol 2.5 mg via nebulizer at baseline (0), 20, 40 minutes + Systemic steroid (methylprednisolone 60 mg) at the moment of evaluation\n\n\\+ Placebo, 3 puffs administered via aerochamber at baseline (0), 20, 40 minutes'}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Extra fine Formoterol/Beclomethasone', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['Innovair'], 'description': 'standard treatment consisting in: Albuterol 2.5 mg via nebulizer at baseline (0), 20, 40 minutes + Systemic steroid (methylprednisolone 60 mg) at the moment of evaluation\n\n\\+ formoterol/beclomethasone, 3 puffs administered via aerochamber at baseline (0), 20, 40, 60 minutes', 'armGroupLabels': ['Extra fine Formoterol/Beclomethasone']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '14080', 'city': 'Mexico City', 'state': 'Mexico City', 'country': 'Mexico', 'facility': 'National Institute of Respiratory Diseases', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 19.42847, 'lon': -99.12766}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Jose Luis Miguel, MD, MsC', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'National Institute of Respiratory Diseases, Mexico', 'class': 'OTHER_GOV'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'MD, MsC', 'investigatorFullName': 'Jose Luis Miguel', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'National Institute of Respiratory Diseases, Mexico'}}}}
