Further study details as provided by Merck:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single oral doses of MK0633 in pediatric asthma patients. [ Time Frame: Physical examinations, vital sign measurements, laboratory safety tests (blood chemistry, hematology and urinalysis), urine ß-hCG test, and 12-lead ECGs will be performed at various scheduled time points throughout the study. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To obtain information on plasma pharmacokinetics (e.g., AUC0-inf, Cmax, Tmax, apparent t½,) of MK0633 after a single oral dose administration in pediatric asthma patients [ Time Frame: Plasma will be analyzed at specific time-points for MK0633 concentrations. Urine will be collected for the measurement of LTE4 concentration. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
