Allergic Asthma
Conditions
Keywords
Steroid-naive, non-smokers, Mild to moderate allergic asthmatic adults
Brief summary
The researchers propose to study the airways of asthmatics given TPI ASM8 for 14 days, and examine the protective effects on allergen-induced bronchoconstriction, hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation.
Detailed description
Early and late asthmatic responses were attenuated by ASM8 and by placebo solution.Methacholine challenge was not affected by study medication. Other parameters were unchanged.
Interventions
Administered with the I-Neb device from Respironics once daily by inhalation over 2 treatment periods of 14 days each
