Purpose
The purpose of the study is to find out if taking vitamin D in addition to an asthma controller medication helps to prevent worsening of asthma symptoms and asthma attacks.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Treatment failure [ Time Frame: Twenty-eight week intervention period from randomization until end of trial. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Treatment failure is a well-defined asthma outcome reflecting overall asthma control that has been used previously in multiple clinical trials. Treatment failure as defined in the current proposal and prior trials is consistent with the ATS/ERS definition of a moderate exacerbation - a deterioration in symptoms and/or lung function with increased rescue bronchodilator use that lasts 2 days or more.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Lung function changes from baseline [ Time Frame: measured as change from baseline 6, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 weeks after randomization ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]FEV1 (liters and % predicted), maximum percent response to bronchodilator (180-360 mcg levalbuterol) and airway hyperresponsiveness as measured by methacholine PC20 will be evaluated.

Detailed Description:
This is a randomized, double-blind parallel group trial that will enroll individuals who have vitamin D insufficiency and asthma with persistent symptoms despite low-dose inhaled corticosteroid. Participants on low-dose inhaled corticosteroid will be randomized to add-on therapy with either placebo or high-dose vitamin D for a 28-week period. During the inhaled corticosteroid-stable phase, participants will remain on low-dose inhaled corticosteroid. During the inhaled corticosteroid-taper phase, participants will taper their inhaled corticosteroid by 50% at two time-points post-randomization. The investigators will determine if the addition of vitamin D reduces the likelihood of treatment failure when compared to placebo during both the inhaled corticosteroid-stable and inhaled corticosteroid-taper phases of the study. Given the high prevalence of both vitamin D insufficiency and asthma, this trial has high potential to impact daily asthma management.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Men and women 18 years of age and older

- Asthma confirmed by: (a) β-agonist reversibility of FEV1 ≥12 % following 180 mcg (4 puffs) levalbuterol at visit 1 OR (b) methacholine FEV1 PC20 ≤ 8 mg/ml if not receiving an inhaled corticosteroid or ≤ 16 mg/ml if receiving an inhaled corticosteroid at visit 2. Source documentation for PC20 from an AsthmaNet methacholine challenge completed within 6 months of visit 2 will be accepted.
- Stable asthma controller therapy (inhaled corticosteroid or leukotriene modifier only) dose for past 2 weeks
- FEV1 ≥ 50% of predicted at visit 1
- Vitamin D level of less than 30 ng/ml at visit 0

- History of physician-diagnosed nephrolithiasis
- Use of concomitant medications that alter vitamin D metabolism - phenytoin, phenobarbital, cardiac glycosides; or absorption - orlistat, cholestyramine, colestipol; or those that interfere with study endpoints
