Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The major endpoint of the study is the change in small airways resistance<br /><br>during the provocation tests, clarified as R5-R20 measured with IOS (impulse<br /><br>oscillometry). Other endpoints of this study are the decline in FVC at 20% fall<br /><br>in FEV1, and the PD20/PC20 values.</p><br>
