Trial Outcomes & Findings for Prevention of Asthma With Levocetirizine 18 Month Treatment in Infants (12 - 24 Months) Suffering From Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) and Sensitized to Grass Pollen and/or House Dust Mite (HDM) (NCT NCT00152464)

NCT ID: NCT00152464

Last Updated: 2019-01-22

Results Overview

The time to onset of asthma was defined as the period elapsed between the randomization visit (V2) and the date of onset of asthma. Instead of the median the first Quartile is reported since the median (50%) was not reached.
