The child had major surgery within the last 4 weeks. The child is currently in the hospital. The child has or had an upper respiratory tract infection within the last 2 weeks. The child has been hospitalized or visited the emergency room or had a change in their medication for asthma within the last 4 weeks. The child has been in a research study in the last 4 weeks.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine the effect of a single oral dose of montelukast, compared with placebo, on EIB as measured by the maximal percent fall in FEV1 (post-exercise change from pre-exercise baseline) after exercise challenge performed 2 hours post-dose.;Secondary Objective: 1. To determine the effect of a single oral dose of montelukast, compared with placebo, on: a. The maximal percent fall in FEV1 (post-exercise change from pre-exercise baseline) following exercise challenge performed 24 hours post-dose, b. The categorized maximum percent fall in FEV1 (20%) following exercise challenges performed 2 and 24 hours post-dose. c. The area under the curve for the percent-fall from pre-exercise FEV1 over time (AUC0-60 min) following exercise challenges performed 2 and 24 hours post-dose, d. Time to recovery of FEV1 to within 5% of baseline following exercise challenges performed 2 and 24 hours post-dose, and e. Need for rescue medication following exercise challenges performed 2 and 24 hours post-dose. 2. Montelukast will be well tolerated in patients with EIB. ;Primary end point(s): The principle efficacy measurement in this study is the maximum percent fall from pre-exercise baseline in FEV1. Additional efficacy measurements include AUC0-60 min and time to recovery of FEV1 to within 5% of baseline, all of which are derived from spirometry measurements at study visits. The proportion of patients requiring rescue with short-acting beta-agonist within the 90 minutes following exercise will also be assessed.
