- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximum Post-exercise Percent (%) Fall in FEV1 4 weeks (Weeks 0 to 4 or Weeks 6 to 10) The effect of four weeks of treatment with oral montelukast plus inhaled fluticasone, and inhaled salmeterol plus inhaled fluticasone on EIB as measured by the maximum post-exercise percent fall (relative to pre-exercise baseline) in FEV1.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximum FEV1 % Predicted Following First Beta-agonist Use 4 weeks (Weeks 0 to 4 or Weeks 6 to 10) The effect of a four-week treatment course of oral montelukast plus inhaled fluticasone, compared to inhaled salmeterol plus inhaled fluticasone, on short-acting β-agonist bronchodilation as measured by the maximum FEV1 percent predicted following first β-agonist use.
Time to Recovery to Within 5% of Baseline FEV1 4 weeks (Weeks 0 to 4 or Weeks 6 to 10) The effect of a four-week treatment course of oral montelukast plus inhaled fluticasone, compared to inhaled salmeterol plus inhaled fluticasone, on the extent and severity of EIB as measured by the time to recovery (to within 5 percent of the pre-exercise baseline FEV1) following a standardized exercise challenge.
Area Under the Curve for %-Change From Pre-exercise Baseline FEV1 in Liters (L), From 0 to 20 Minutes (AUC(0-20)) 4 weeks (Weeks 0 to 4 or Weeks 6 to 10) The effect of a four-week treatment course of oral montelukast plus inhaled fluticasone, compared to inhaled salmeterol plus inhaled fluticasone, on the extent and severity of EIB as measured by the area under the curve from 0 to 20 minutes (AUC0-20) for FEV1 percent change from pre-exercise baseline.
Average (Avg) %-Change in FEV1 After First Beta (β)-Agonist Use and Prior to Second β-agonist Use 4 weeks (Weeks 0 to 4 or Weeks 6 to 10) The effect of a four-week treatment course of oral montelukast plus inhaled fluticasone, compared to inhaled salmeterol plus inhaled fluticasone, on the extent and severity of EIB as measured by the average percent change in FEV1 after first β-agonist intake and prior to second β-agonist use.
