Assessment of PFT, Safety, and PK of Zileuton Injection in Asthma Patients
- Registration Number
- NCT00534625
- Lead Sponsor
- Critical Therapeutics
- Brief Summary
A single intravenous injection of zileuton (150 or 300 mg) will be administered to patients with stable asthma. The goals will be to determine if zileuton i.v. can produce a rapid increase in FEV1/PEFR and when this effect can be seen. The safety of this route of administration of zileuton will also be studied. PK will be obtained in a population based method.
