The Department of Pulmonary Physiology at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and the Department of Health are currently running a trial (placebo-controlled, double blinded), sponsored by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) of Australia, to see if using an antibiotic (azithromycin) reduces the frequency of exacerbations in patients with asthma that still have symptoms despite using "optimal" therapy. The study, called the AMAZES study is Australia wide.
To help recruit patients into the study we are seeking volunteers over 18 years of age to contact Ms Peta Grayson on 9346 2888 or email: peta.grayson@health.wa.gov.au.
