Summary

This trial aims to see how a single dose of tiotropium (a medication) affects the airway response to allergens in comparison to a placebo.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with asthma. Participants should be able to perform lung function tests and must not have had a respiratory infection or asthma exacerbation within the last four weeks. They cannot take part if they are currently smokers, have other significant health issues, or are using certain medications that might interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Tiotropium (Spiriva®), an inhaled medication, against a placebo. Each participant will receive a single dose of either Tiotropium or placebo before being exposed to an allergen to see how it affects their early asthmatic response by measuring changes in lung function.
What are the potential side effects?
Tiotropium may cause side effects such as dry mouth, sore throat, coughing, and headache. In some cases, it can lead to more serious effects like difficulty breathing or allergic reactions.
