Per-arm endpoint measurements with 95% confidence intervals where reported. Source: trial results section.
Maximum Change in the Percentage of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)Primary· Pre-challenge to 10 hours post-challenge
Pre-challenge FEV1 is measured just prior to administration of the allergen challenge. FEV1 is measured at regular intervals for 10 hours after the challenge. \[(Lowest FEV1 value post-challenge - Pre-challenge FEV1 value)/(Pre-challenge FEV1 value)\]\*100

Change in the Percentage of Sputum EosinophilsSecondary· Pre-challenge and 24 hours post-challenge
Induced sputum obtained pre-challenge and again at 24 hours post-challenge will be assessed for cells. (% eosinophils post-challenge - %eosinophils pre-challenge)

Number of Participants Who Experience a Late Phase Response (Fall in FEV1≥15%) to Inhaled AllergenSecondary· Pre-challenge to 10 hours post-challenge
FEV1 will be measured prior to administration of the inhaled allergen challenge. The maximum drop in FEV1 that occurs during the late phase (3-10 hours after challenge) will be determined.

Change in Airway Hyperresponsiveness Measured by Difference in Methacholine Dose Required to Produce a ≥20% Fall in FEV1 (PC20)Secondary· Baseline to 24 hours post-challenge
Participants will undergo a methacholine challenge to assess airway hyper-responsiveness at baseline. Changes in methacholine reactivity from baseline to 24 hours post-allergen challenge will be determined. Negative values indicate decrease and positive values indicate increase in doubling. (methacholine PC20 post-challenge - methacholine PC20 pre-challenge).

This study is designed to identify Felis Catus, or cat hair, sensitive asthmatics who demonstrate a late phase asthmatic response after cat hair inhalation. These subjects may be invited to participate in a planned future study investigating novel asthma treatments.
