This is a multi-center, open label pilot study to assess the safety and determine the feasibility of cockroach nasal allergen challenge in children with asthma. This pilot study will occur in two phases: * Phase 1 will enroll 10 cockroach sensitive adults with asthma who will undergo a nasal allergen challenge with increasing doses of cockroach allergen. Phase 1 will consist of two parts, Phase 1a and Phase 1b. In Phase 1a, participants will undergo a nasal allergen challenge. In Phase 1b, participants will undergo a repeat nasal allergen challenge to assess reproducibility of the NAC with cockroach allergen in a population with asthma. The data from Phase 1a will be used to identify a range of doses that is safe and elicits a threshold of nasal symptoms (TNSS ≥8). * Phase 2 will enroll 25 cockroach sensitive children with asthma ages 8-14 years who will undergo a nasal allergen challenge using the dose range identified in Phase 1a. Study mandated procedures include: blood draws (venipuncture); pulmonary function testing (PFTs); nasal allergen challenge (NAC); allergen skin testing; and peak expiratory flow.
