| Primary end point(s): Correlation between change in postexercise fall in FEV1 2h after a single dose of montelukast and after 8 weeks of treatment with montelukast. ;Main Objective: What is the correlation between change in % fall in FEV1 (?FEV1) after an exercise challenge 2h after a single dose of montelukast and after 8 weeks of treatment with montelukast?;Secondary Objective: Which individual patient and disease characteristics correlate with an effect of montelukast on EIB? | — |
