Study of Dose-response to Bronchodilator and Dose-finding in Child 2.5 to 6 Years - Study Golden

Summary

In older children and adults, bronchodilator (BD) dose-effect relationship is part of the characteristics of asthma disease. There are no data on BD dose-response relationship in wheezy preschool children whose disease pathophysiology is poorly understood, but may, in part, takes on the characteristics of asthma. The investigators assume that 1) in young children interrupter resistance (Rint) could be used to measure a BD effect 2) the response to BD may vary depending on the dose used 3) the dose-response relationship could depend on the environment and gene polymorphism ADBR2. This is a prospective phase II study on dose-response relationship and description of the dose-response curve design using a "sparse" and a modeling approach MCP-Mod. The dose-response relationship will be modeled by sparse data. The investigators will test two doses per child in four designs that will be drawn. These doses will be assessed using Rint technique by a person blinded to the actual dose delivered to the child. Measurements of 90 children will estimate E0, Imax and D50 (pharmacokinetic constants) with an accuracy of 3.5%, 8.9% and 25.7% respectively. The bronchodilator used in the study is the Salbutamol as Ventolin ® (GSK) suspension for inhalation as an aerosol at a dose of 100μg per puff. Ventolin ® is used as part of the MA (No. 344 387-3)
