Study Summary

Asthma can be caused by a variety of factors, including tobacco smoke, allergens, and respiratory airway infections. Many people use inhaled corticosteroid medications to treat their symptoms. These medications, however, are not effective for everyone. Clarithromycin is an antibiotic that may effectively treat asthma in these individuals. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of clarithromycin at controlling asthma symptoms.

Primary Outcome

The Juniper asthma control questionnaire (ACQ) consists of six questions answered by the asthma patient with respect to symptoms, rescue medication use, and night-time awakenings due to asthma. A seventh item in the ACQ is the percent predicted FEV1. Each of the seven items is scored from from 0 (best) to 6 (worst), and then the seven items are averaged to yield a number from 0 (best) to 6 (worst). Asthma patients needed to display an ACQ greater than or equal to 1.25 in order to be eligible for
