Trial Outcomes & Findings for Reducing Exercise-induced Bronchoconstriction in Children With Asthma and Obesity (NCT NCT03586544)

NCT ID: NCT03586544

Last Updated: 2021-07-22

Results Overview

The change in FEV1 from before to after the exercise induced bronchoconstriction test. For the control condition, the change in FEV1 was measured from before the 6min exercise challenge test to up to 30 min after the exercise challenge test. The control condition was completed before participants were randomized to either albuterol or interval warm-up. This "control" condition is our reference condition because any improvement noted with albuterol or interval warm-up exercise should be compared against the control condition.

Participant Flow

Dates of recruitment: 34 participants were screened for eligibility between 9/18/2018 - 3/13/2020. Participants were recruited from the Children's Lung Specialists Pediatric Pulmonology clinic.

18 out of 34 enrolled participants were randomized. Of those not randomized (N=16), 10 did not meet inclusion criteria, 5 declined to participate, and 1 was not randomized because we terminated the study early. Of the 18 participants randomized, 2 did not complete all study visits: 1 because they declined to continue and 1 because of leg pain during exercise.

Measure
Order 1: Albuterol First, Interval Warm-up Second
Participants first received albuterol on one day only. After at least 72 h, they completed the interval warm up on one day only. This was an acute study. There is no washout per se.
Order 2: Interval Warm-up First, Albuterol Second
Participants first completed interval warm up exercise on one day only. After at least 72 h, they recieved the albuterol (180ug) on one day only. This was an acute study. There is no washout per se.

Baseline characteristics by cohort

Baseline characteristics by cohort
Measure
Albuterol First
n=6 Participants
Children will complete an exercise induced bronchoconstriction test preceded by: 1) Control, 2) pretreatment with 'Albuterol' and 3) interval warm-up exercise and Control visit was always completed first. The order of albuterol and interval warm-up was randomized. In this arm, albuterol visit was completed first.
Interval Warm up First
n=12 Participants
Children will complete an exercise induced bronchoconstriction test preceded by: 1) Control, 2) pretreatment with 'Albuterol' and 3) interval warm-up exercise and Control visit was always completed first. The order of albuterol and interval warm-up was randomized. In this arm, interval warm-up visit was completed first.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: The change in FEV1 will be assessed for up to 30 minutes after completing the exercise induced bronchoconstriction test

Population: Two participants did not complete the interval warm-up arm and there results are not reported.

The change in FEV1 from before to after the exercise induced bronchoconstriction test. For the control condition, the change in FEV1 was measured from before the 6min exercise challenge test to up to 30 min after the exercise challenge test. The control condition was completed before participants were randomized to either albuterol or interval warm-up. This "control" condition is our reference condition because any improvement noted with albuterol or interval warm-up exercise should be compared against the control condition.
