Further study details as provided by Sepracor, Inc.:

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 ]

Estimated Enrollment: 54

Study Completion Date: December 2008
Primary Completion Date: December 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
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.
