| Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of treatment with repeat inhaled doses of GW870086X once daily for 13 days on the late asthmatic response (LAR) to inhaled allergen in mild asthmatic subjects compared with placebo;Primary end point(s): Late Asthmatic Response (LAR): minimum FEV1 between 4-10 hours after allergen challenge on Day 13 of each treatment period.;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the effect of treatment with GW870086X on the early asthmatic response (EAR) after allergen challenge in mild asthmatic subjects • To assess the safety and tolerability of repeat inhaled doses of GW870086X • To evaluate the effect of treatment with repeat inhaled doses of GW870086X on lung function as measured by FEV1 • To evaluate the effect of treatment with repeat inhaled doses of GW870086X on exhaled NO • To evaluate the effect of treatment with GW870086X on bronchial hyperreactivity as measured by methacholine challenge • To evaluate the effect of GW870086X on induced sputum post allergen challenge | — |
