General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The purpose of this study is to assess real-world effectiveness of montelukast in children (2 to 14 years) with asthma and allergic rhinitis.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research. The following additional measures defined for this individual study were in place for the protection of subjects: adjunct daily inhaler (nebulized salbutamol) therapy on an as needed basis; rescue oral, intramuscular, or intravenous corticosteroid therapy for asthma attacks; and addition of inhaled corticosteroids to study treatments for exacerbation from mild to moderate asthma.

End point title |
Change from Baseline for Daytime Asthma Symptom Score | ||||||||||||||||||||
End point description |
The score is an ordinal scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 5 (most symptoms). The change was calculated as the score at 12 weeks minus the score at baseline (Statistical Analyses: Change from BL to Week 12 - Montelukast; Change from BL to Week 12 - ICS). Thus, a negative value for change from baseline indicates a favorable outcome. The primary efficacy parameter was a mean change from baseline to treatment for daytime asthma symptom score. Therefore 138 participants who didn't have a daytime asthma symptom score from the participant diary were not included.

This was an open-label study. Only 53 patients had diary information with daytime asthma symptom score - thus, 138 cases were dropped from analysis due to lack of daytime asthma symptom score. |
