Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of a combination inhaler of Ciclesonide/ Formoterol and Ciclesonide alone in subjects with persistent asthma over 6 weeks of treatment period. In this study we have evaluated the effect of novel combination inhaler containing the inhaled corticosteroids Ciclesonide and the long acting beta agonist Formoterol in patients with persistent bronchial asthma. From this study we were able to demonstrate that the combination of Ciclesonide and Formoterol produced a greater improvement in lung function than ciclesonide alone.
