Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is 1. To pilot the research methodology for a randomized trial on an orthomolecular treatment regime versus placebo as add-on therapy for children with asthma; 2. To obtain a preliminary estimate of the effectiveness of an orthomolecular treatment regime for allowing tapering of inhaled corticosteroids in clinically stable asthmatic children. The obtained estimate will allow sample size calculations for a full-scale randomized trial; and 3. To obtain preliminary information about the safety and tolerability of an orthomolecular treatment regime.
