NCT00090142

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of an approved medication being studied in support of a new approach in the prevention of exercise-induced asthma (a worsening of asthma caused by exercise, also known as exercise-induced bronchospasm), in patients who have a history of worsening asthma after exercise.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Maximum Percent Fall in FEV1 After Exercise Challenge at 2 Hours Post-dose Compared With Pre-exercise Baseline in Patients With Exercise-induced Bronchospasm (EIB)

    In patients with EIB, the percent change from pre-exercise baseline FEV, to the lowest FEV1 within 60 minutes after exercise challenge (2 hours post-dose). The FEV1 measurement obtained 5 minutes before the exercise challenge was the baseline, and was specific to each exercise challenge.

    Pre-exercise baseline measurement and 0-60 minutes after the exercise challenge performed 2 hours after a single oral dose

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Number of Patients Requiring ß-Agonist Rescue Medication After Exercise Challenge at 2 Hours Postdose

    0-90 minutes after the exercise challenge performed at 2 hours postdose

  • Number of Patients Requiring ß-Agonist Rescue Medication After Exercise Challenge at 12 Hours Postdose

    0-90 minutes after the exercise challenge performed at 12 hours postdose

  • Number of Patients Requiring ß-Agonist Rescue Medication After Exercise Challenge at 24 Hours Postdose

    0-90 minutes after the exercise challenge performed at 24 hours postdose

  • Maximum Percent Fall in FEV1 After Exercise Challenge at 12 Hours Postdose Compared With Pre-exercise Baseline in Patients With EIB

    Pre-exercise baseline measurement and 0-60 minutes after the exercise challenge performed 12 hours after a single oral dose

  • Maximum Percent Fall in FEV1 After Exercise Challenge at 24 Hours Postdose Compared With Pre-exercise Baseline in Patients With EIB

    Pre-exercise baseline measurement and 0-60 minutes after the exercise challenge performed 24 hours after a single oral dose
