Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Explorative comparison of montelukast with inhaled steroids (fluticasone) to estimate responder profiles, in terms of symptom scores, rescue medication, increase of FEV1, in correlation to presence of allergy, bronchial hyperreactivity (PD20), exhaled NO, excretion of leukotrienes, response to RABA and laboratory parameters in patients with pre-school asthma i.e. asthma phenotypes.
