Fig E1 Flow diagram of study design. At the first screening visit, an exercise challenge was performed followed in 1 week by a second screening visit with an exercise challenge. Qualified subjects return the following day* for a methacholine and skin prick test and are randomized to the first treatment. Each treatment period was for 2 weeks with a pretreatment (PRE) and posttreatment (POST) visit and a washout of 4 to 6 weeks between treatment periods. Treatments were matching placebos, montelukast 5/10 mg, budesonide 400 μg, or montelukast + budesonide.
