Over the past two or three decades, the prevalence of asthma has significantly increased worldwide; therefore, effective treatment without side effects is of utmost importance. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays a vital role in reducing symptoms and improving the quality of life in persistent-asthma patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Jia Wei Yang He (JWYH) formula in the treatment of asthma and to explore the relationship between the airway microbiome and TCM treatment in asthma patients. This multicenter, parallel-arm, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial will assess the efficacy of JWYH in asthma patients with usual care. Persistent-asthma patients without life-threatening disease will be enrolled on a random basis and are equally assigned to a high- or a low-dose JWYH plus usual care group, or a placebo plus usual care group. Patients are followed up for 4 months. Accordingly, 240 patients will yield sufficient statistical power to determine a difference between groups. Based on modified intent-to-treat (mITT) analyses, the three groups will be compared at 4 weeks after the beginning of treatment. The primary efficacy measurement is the mean change in the Asthma Control Test (ACT) score from baseline to 4 weeks post treatment. Secondary outcomes include forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and asthma exacerbations. This trial also includes analyses of the associations between airway microbiome and asthma treatment. In this study, a randomized clinical trial design is described. The results are based on several outcomes that estimate the efficacy of the JWYH formula and prospective links between the airway microbiome and asthma treatment. ClinicalTrials.gov, ID: NCT03299322.
