Bronchoprotective Effect of Arformoterol in Children With Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm (EIB) - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	University of New Mexico
Information provided by:	University of New Mexico
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00662779

Purpose

It is our primary hypothesis that pretreatment with arformoterol will provide superior protection against EIB in children with mild-moderate asthma compared to placebo added to the current asthma regimen.

Our secondary hypothesis is that nebulized arformoterol has comparable protection against EIB compared to inhaled formoterol by dry powder inhaler.

Detailed Description:

This study is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, crossover clinical trial which will consist of 5 study visits and will last up to 3 weeks.

Fifteen children 12-17 years of age with asthma and EIB, regardless of current asthma therapy will be eligible for this trial.
