About this study

Montelukast (for asthma) and desloratadine (for allergies) are effective therapy for their current uses. Part of what happens when your allergies trigger your asthma should be prevented by either of these drugs. This project is being conducted to determine if these drugs are effective, either alone or in combination, on controlling asthma that is triggered by allergies.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Late asthmatic response (maximum percent decrease in FEV1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00424580, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
