1. All patients must sign and date an Informed Consent Form consistent with International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use Good Clinical Practice ( ICH-GCP) guidelines and local legislation prior to participation in the trial (i.e. prior to any trial procedures, including any pre-trial washout of medications and medication restrictions for pulmonary function test at Visit 1).
2. Male or female patients aged at least 18 years but not more than 75 years.
3. All patients must have at least a 3 months history of asthma at the time of enrolment into the trial. The diagnosis of asthma has to be confirmed at Visit 1 with a bronchodilator reversibility resulting in a Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) increase of equal above 12% and equal above 200mL.
4. The initial diagnosis of asthma must have been made before the patient's age of 40.
5. All patients must have a diagnosis of moderate persistent asthma and must be symptomatic despite their current maintenance treatment with medium doses of inhaled corticosteroids.
6. All patients must have been on maintenance treatment with a medium, stable dose of inhaled corticosteroids (alone or in a fixed combination with a Long Acting Betaadrenergic (LABA) or Short Acting Betaadrenergic (SABA)) for at least 4 weeks prior to Visit 1.
7. All patients must be symptomatic at Visit 1 (screening) and Visit 2 as defined by an Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) Score
8. All patients must have a pre-bronchodilator FEV1 above equal 60% predicted and below equal 90% of predicted normal at Visit 1. Predicted normal values will be calculated according to the European Coal and Steel Community Guidelines (ECSC).
9. All patients must have an increase in FEV1 of equal above 12% and equal above 200 mL 15 minutes after 400 µg salbutamol at Visit 1.

14. Patients taking a chronic pulmonary medication allowed by the study protocol must be willing to continue this therapy for the entire duration of the study (exception: times of acute disease deterioration).
1. Patients with a significant disease other than asthma.A significant disease is defined
as a disease which, in the opinion of the investigator, may (i) put the patient at
risk because of participation in the trial, or (ii) influence the results of the
trial, or (iii) cause concern regarding the patient's ability to participate in the
trial.

guidelines not recommended "experimental" drugs for routine asthma therapy (e.g. TNFalpha
blockers, methotrexate, cyclosporin) within four weeks prior to Visit 1 or during the
screening period.
24. Patients with any asthma exacerbation or any respiratory tract infection in the four
weeks prior to Visit 1 or during the screening period. Visit 1 and/or Visit 2 should be
postponed in case of an asthma exacerbation or respiratory tract infection.
25. Patients who have previously been randomised in this trial or are currently
participating in another trial.
26.Patients who have been treated with depot corticosteroids within six months prior to
Visit 1 or during the screening period.

Visit 1 or during the screening period.

Brief Title ICMJE | A Randomised, Double- Blind, Placebo Controlled, Cross-over Efficacy and Safety Comparison of Tiotropium 5 µg Once Daily and Tiotropium 2.5 µg Twice Daily for Four Weeks in Patients With Moderate Persistent Asthma | |||
Official Title ICMJE | A Phase II, Randomised, Double- Blind, Placebo Controlled, Cross-over Efficacy and Safety Comparison of Tiotropium 5 µg Administered Once Daily (in the Evening) and Tiotropium 2.5 µg Administered Twice Daily Delivered by the Respimat® Inhaler for Four Weeks Versus Placebo in Patients With Moderate Persistent Asthma | |||
Brief Summary | Rationale for the current trial is to demonstrate 24 hour bronchodilator efficacy and safety of tiotropium 5 µg administered once daily (in the evening) which is regarded beneficial for the compliance and convenience of the patient in comparison to placebo. Further the rationale is to evaluate efficacy and safety of tiotropium 2.5 µg administered twice daily delivered by the Respimat® inhaler in comparison to placebo and tiotropium 5 µg administered once daily (in the evening) delivered by the Respimat® inhaler in patients with moderate persistent asthma. Rationale for the pharmacokinetic subinvestigation is to evaluate the 24 hours exposure to tiotropium in patients with moderate persistent asthma when administered 5 µg tiotropium once daily (in the evening) or 2.5 µg tiotropium twice daily. | |||
