Asthma control can be maintained when fluticasone propionate/salmeterol in a single inhaler is stepped down.

TL;DR: Stepping treatment down to a lower dose of FSC 100/50 microg twice daily is more effective than switching to an inhaled corticosteroid alone in patients achieving asthma control.

A phase 1 study evaluating the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of repeat dosing with a human IL-13 antibody (CAT-354) in subjects with asthma

TL;DR: It is suggested that at the doses tested, CAT-354 can be safely administered in multiple doses to patients with asthma and exhibited linear pharmacokinetics and an acceptable safety profile.
