Abstract
All 80 subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups (40 subjects each): treatment group and control group. All 40 subjects in the treatment group were given CM glucan capsules. ACT score and %FEV1 post-bronchodilator were assessed at the 1st visit, 4th week follow up, and 8th week follow up visits. There was noted improvement on the asthma symptoms on both treatment groups based on the Asthma Control Test (ACT) score and %FEV1 postbronchodilator. The result of the EMANUEL trial showed a trend of improvement among patients on both groups in terms of ACT score and %FEV1 postbronchodilator. However, it was not statistically significant.
