Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
The Standardized Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Using Area Under the Curve (AUC) From 0 to 12 Hours (0-12h) Post-dose by Treatment
For FEV1 AUC(0-12h) the trapezoidal rule was applied using planned time measurements to calculate the AUC up to and including the last measurement recorded before intake of rescue medication. The AUC was standardized by dividing by the length of time for which measurements of FEV1 were included in the calculation of the AUC thus adjusting for subjects who were unable to complete the measurements during the 12-hour observation period and without inhaling rescue medication. The unit of the AUC was in L, being a weighted average of the acceptable FEV1 measurements recorded over 12 hours post dose
Secondary Outcome Measures
Serial FEV1 Measurement (i.e. at 5, 30 Minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 Hours Post-dose) Following Inhalation of a Single Dose of Study Medication to Evaluate the Onset and Duration of the Bronchodilatory Effect
All efficacy evaluations were based on spirometry assessments of lung function. FEV1 is the maximum amount of air expired in one second. At Visits 2, 3, 4 and 5, spirometry assessments were performed in the clinic at predose and again at 5 and 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours post-dose within ± 5 minutes of the scheduled time for the time points up to and including 60 minutes post-dose and then within ± 10 minutes for all subsequent time points. Spirometry equipment and performance of spirometric testing were in accordance with the (ATS / ERS) standards.
Serial Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Measurement (i.e. at 5, 30 Minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 Hours Post-dose) Following Inhalation of a Single Dose of Study Medication to Evaluate the Onset and Duration of the Bronchodilatory Effect
All efficacy evaluations were based on spirometry assessments of lung function. FVC is the volume (liters) of air that can forcibly be blown out after full inspiration. At Visits 2, 3, 4 and 5, spirometry assessments were performed in the clinic at predose and again at 5 and 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours post-dose within ± 5 minutes of the scheduled time for the time points up to and including 60 minutes post-dose and then within ± 10 minutes for all subsequent time points. Spirometry equipment and performance of spirometric testing were in accordance with the ATS / ERS standards.
Serial Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEF) Measurement (i.e. at 5, 30 Minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 Hours Post-dose) Following Inhalation of a Single Dose of Study Medication to Evaluate the Onset and Duration of the Bronchodilatory Effect
All efficacy evaluations were based on spirometry assessments of lung function. PEF is the greatest airflow rate achieved during forced exhalation with lungs fully inflated. At Visits 2, 3, 4 and 5, spirometry assessments were performed in the clinic at predose and again at 5 and 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours post-dose within ± 5 minutes of the scheduled time for the time points up to and including 60 minutes post-dose and then within ± 10 minutes for all subsequent time points. Spirometry equipment and performance of spirometric testing were in accordance with the ATS/ERS standards
Plasma Formoterol Concentrations (Pmol/L) Following a Single Dose of Formoterol Fumarate Alone and in Combination With Mometasone Furoate Via the pMDI and Formoterol Fumarate Via the Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI)
Unchanged racemic formoterol in plasma was assayed by LC-MS/MS. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for plasma was 1.45 pmol/L. No non-compartmental PK analysis was performed.
Urinary Excretion of Formoterol Following a Single Dose of Formoterol Fumarate Alone and in Combination With Mometasone Furoate Via the pMDI and Formoterol Fumarate Via the Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI)
Unchanged racemic formoterol in urine was assayed by LC-MS/MS. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for urine was 0.0174 nmol/L expressed as free base. The amounts of unchanged formoterol excreted in urine from 0 to 3 hours (Ae0-3) and from 0 to 12 hours post-dose (Ae0-12) were calculated from the formoterol concentrations in urine and the urine volumes using non-compartmental methods.

Brief Summary
This study is being conducted to compare the pharmacodynamics (bronchodilation, onset and duration of action), of a single dose of formoterol fumarate in combination with mometasone furoate to placebo in children of 5-11 years with persistent asthma. The study will also assess the bronchodilatory effect of a single dose of formoterol fumarate alone and in combination with mometasone furoate delivered via a pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) to the bronchodilatory effect of formoterol fumarate delivered via a dry powder inhaler (DPI). Furthermore, pharmacokinetic assessments of plasma and urine will also be conducted throughout the study to assess systemic exposure following administration of the study medication.
