Émélie BraschiGUEST
Yeah, so and just from now on, if I use the word Saba, I refer to short-acting beta agonists, so terbutaline or sabutamol.

Émélie BraschiGUEST
The first question was looking at as-needed predesonide with a combination of beta agonist, so mostly for mineral, but some trials have also used salbutamol, versus Saba, both use PRN.

Émélie BraschiGUEST
Those and the first couple of trials that we talked about enrolled patients with uncontrolled mild asthma.

Émélie BraschiGUEST
So the main one is a trial of about 2,500 adults that had, as I said, uncontrolled mild asthma.

Émélie BraschiGUEST
Um, so we focused on randomized control trials for this question, so I'll be talking about the main ones.

Émélie BraschiGUEST
The first questions was looking at as needed budesonide with a combination of a beta agonist, so mostly formoterol, but some trials have also used salbutamol versus, uh, SABA.

Émélie BraschiGUEST
Those, and the first couple of trials that we talk about enrolled patients with uncontrolled mild asthma.

Émélie BraschiGUEST
So the main one is a trial of about 2,500 adults, um, that had, as I said, uncontrolled mild asthma.
