Conditions

Asthma, Exercise-Induced

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 participants who have a history of worsening asthma after exercise.

Interventions

Montelukast 10 mg tablet administered orally as a single witnessed dose before exercise challenge

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Patients were randomized at 9 sites. Primary therapy period: July to November 2003

Pre-assignment details

Patients who required excluded medications, or did not meet forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) criteria during the prestudy period were excluded from randomization. Patients who required a β-agonist after the exercise challenge and did not meet FEV1 criteria within 30 minutes of treatment were also excluded.

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

In Participants with EIB, the percent change from pre-exercise baseline FEV1 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.

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

Population: The primary efficacy analysis used a modified intention-to-treat (MITT) approach. Patients with data from only one period were not included in the analysis.

Population: The secondary efficacy analysis used a MITT approach. If a patient received β-agonist rescue medication during the 60 minutes following exercise challenge, then the last pre-rescue FEV1 measurement was carried forward to 60 minutes.
