Trial Information

Summary: A study to measure an investigational medication's ability to control asthma versus a marketed product in pediatric subjects whose asthma is worsened by activity or exercise.

The study lasts up to 6 weeks. Your child will need to attend up to 5 office visits and maintain regular telephone contact with the clinic during the study. Certain office visits include physical exams, medical history review, exercise challenge tests (walking/running on a treadmill), electrocardiogram (ECG) tests, and lung function tests. All study related medications and medical examinations are provided at no cost. The study drug is currently available by prescription to patients 12 years and older.

Eligible participants:

• are 4-17 years old + have been diagnosed with persistent asthma for 3 months or longer
• experience worsened asthma symptoms during physical activity
• are using an inhaled steroid for the last 4 weeks or longer (such as Aerobid, Azmacort, Flovent, Pulmicort, QVAR, and Vanceril)

Patients are not eligible if they:

• have used systemic steroids as either liquids, pills, or injections to treat asthma within the last 3 months
• have only intermittent, seasonal, or exercise induced asthma and not persistent asthma
• have been admitted to a hospital within the last 6 months due to asthma symptoms.
• have any poorly controlled medical conditions that may make study participation unsafe or inappropriate in the opinion of the study physician (such as cystic fibrosis, congenital heart disease, insulin dependent diabetes, glaucoma, drug allergies, etc.)

The study physician will evaluate other medical criteria.
