- Any medical condition or circumstance making the subject unsuitable for participation in the study (e.g. history of life-threatening asthma)
- Asthma exacerbation requiring systemic corticosteroids (oral, intramuscular, intravenous) or Emergency Room attendance within 3 months or asthma exacerbation requiring hospitalization within 6 months prior to the screening visit.
- Culture-documented or suspected bacterial or viral infection of the upper or lower respiratory tract which is not resolved within 4 weeks of the screening visit.
- Any adverse reaction including immediate or delayed hypersensitivity to any betaagonist therapy.
- Known or suspected sensitivity to the constituents of the novel dry powder inhaler (i.e., lactose or magnesium stearate), for example, history of severe milk protein allergy.
- The parent or guardian has history of psychiatric disease, intellectual deficiency, substance abuse, or other condition (e.g., inability to read, comprehend or write) which will limit the validity of consent to participate in this study.
