NCT01121016

Brief Summary

Hypothesis: Add-on therapy with oral montelukast (Mon) to inhaled budesonide (BUD) may achieve better control of cough caused by nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis (NAEB) with faster reduction of airway eosinophilia. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of add-on therapy with Mon to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in the treatment of adult patients with chronic/subacute cough caused by NAEB diagnosed in outpatient setting. Primary endpoint:cough severity rated as cough visual analogue score (VAS)1 and eosinophil count in induced sputum during 4-week BUD monotherapy or Mon adjunct therapy.
