The purpose of this study is to look at whether Advair® and SYMBICORT® have different
effects on airway constriction by means of methacholine challenge testing.


Inclusion Criteria:

Diagnosis of asthma > 12 months Currently on 2 puffs SABA bid. Baseline percent
FEV1 of greater than 60% and less than or equal to 100% 12% reversibility in the
previous 12 months 12% reversibility at Screening Visit Positive MTC (≤ 8mg/ml) at
the end of 2 week Run-In Currently symptomatic with ACT score less than 19 at the
end of run in on ICS ≥ 200 and ≤ 400 ug/day Non-smoker or ex-smoker with < 10 pk
year who stopped > 1 year ago

Exclusion Criteria:

- Asthma exacerbation, significant airflow obstruction, or respiratory infection
between Visits 0 and 2. Patients who fail screening because of one of these events
