Primary Outcome Measures:

To compare the safety and tolerability of cumulative dosing with arformoterol tartrate inhalation solution versus levalbuterol hydrochloride inhalation solution (3 cumulative nebulizations in one hour) in pediatric subjects with asthma. [ Time Frame: 42 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To investigate the FEV1 response (in children 6 and older and for children 5 or younger who can perform spirometry) to cumulative dosing with arformoterol tartrate inhalation solution versus levalbuterol hydrochloride inhalation solution. [ Time Frame: 42 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Arms	Assigned Interventions
1: Active Comparator - Arformoterol, 7.5 ųg per nebulization	Drug: arformoterol inhalation solution; levalbuterol hydrochloride inhalation solution arformoterol (7.5 ug per nebulization) and levalbuterol hydrochloride(0.63 mg per nebulization) and arformoterol (15 ug per nebulization)
2: Active Comparator - Levalbuterol Hydrochloride(0.63 mg per nebulization) & Arformoterol (15 ųg per nebulization)	Drug: arformoterol inhalation solution; levalbuterol hydrochloride inhalation solution arformoterol (7.5 ug per nebulization) and levalbuterol hydrochloride(0.63 mg per nebulization) and arformoterol (15 ug per nebulization)

Detailed Description:

A randomized, double-blind two-way crossover study of three cumulative doses of arformoterol (7.5 ug per nebulization) and levalbuterol (0.63 mg per nebulization) given over a one hour period, followed by a single open-label treatment day with three cumulative doses of arformoterol 15 ug in subjects 2-11 years of age with asthma.
