Aerocrine: First Primary Care Trial Supports FeNO-Guided Asthma Treatment

SOLNA, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Aerocrine AB (STO:AERO-B) – A new randomised clinical trial shows lower incidence of asthma exacerbations and increased asthma control with Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO)-guided anti-inflammatory treatment. The study has been published on the website of Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice (http://www.jaci-inpractice.org/article/S2213-2198(13)00352-8/abstract). A total of 187 non-smoking asthma patients (18-64 years) with perennial allergy and on regular inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment were recruited at 17 primary health care centres in Sweden, randomly assigned to two groups and followed for one year. One group was treated with standard of care whereas treatment of the patients in the other group were guided by FeNO. Aerocrine’s patented FeNO test, with the NIOX® MINO® device was used in the study. In the standard of care group FeNO was blinded for both patient and physician.
