The ARTMA Asthma Relief Study: Exploring New Treatments

We're exploring a new way to help people manage their asthma at home. By taking early steps, we aim to stop worsening asthma attacks before they get bad enough to need strong treatment. This study will help us figure out how practical it is to use a self-injection asthma plan and ensure it's safe and effective. Ultimately, our goal is to develop a new and easy-to-follow treatment plan for asthma that works better for everyone.
