Reporting Groups
  Description
Asthmatic Controls for Phase 1 People with asthma perform 1 methacholine challenge test in phase 1 to measure the sensitivity and specificity of methacholine challenge testing. Participants did not receive an intervention in phase 1.
Non Asthmatic Controls for Phase 1 People without asthma perform 1 methacholine challenge test in phase 1 to measure the sensitivity and specificity of methacholine challenge testing. Participants did not receive an intervention in phase 1.
Low Dose, Then High Dose Fluticasone for Phase 2 People with asthma receive fluticasone at 250 mcg per day (28 days), then wash-out period (28 days), then fluticasone at 1000 mcg per day (28 days) in phase 2.
High Dose, Then Low Dose Fluticasone for Phase 2 People with asthma receive fluticasone at 1000 mcg per day 28 days), then wash-out period (28 days), fluticasone at 250 mcg per day (28 days) in phase 2.
