A Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, 2-Arm, 2X2 Crossover Study Comparing the Effects of Montelukast, Inhaled Budesonide, and Placebo on Lower Leg Growth in Children (Prepubertal, Tanner Stage I) With Mild Asthma
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of montelukast, an approved medication, on the lower leg growth rate in children with mild asthma. The primary hypothesis is that the lower leg length (LLL) growth rate for children treated with montelukast compared to placebo will be established.
This is a crossover study that consists of a 2-week placebo run-in period, then a first 3-week treatment period, then a 2-week washout period, and then a second 3-week treatment period. Participants will be randomized to treatment with either montelukast and placebo or budesonide and placebo. The duration of treatment is 6 weeks.
