Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline methacholine bronchoprotection at 96 hours | pre treatment versus 96 hour post treatment | assessed by dose shift of geometric mean methacholine PC20 data |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline methacholine bronchoprotection at 1 hour | pre treatment versus 1 hour post treatment | assessed by dose shift of geometric mean methacholine PC20 data |
| Change from baseline methacholine bronchoprotection at 24 hours | pre treatment versus 24 hours post treatment | assessed by dose shift of geometric mean methacholine PC20 data |
| Change from baseline methacholine bronchoprotection at 48 hours | pre treatment versus 48 hours post treatment | assessed by dose shift of geometric mean methacholine PC20 data |
| Change from baseline methacholine bronchoprotection at 72 hours | pre treatment versus 72 hours post treatment | assessed by dose shift of geometric mean methacholine PC20 data |
