Asthma Clinical Trials

June 2013 - December 2014
Asthma is a highly prevalent chronic disease in children. Complementary and Alternative Medicine research on asthma showed a potential effect on pediatric patients. Studies looking at the effect of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment seems to reveal positive results. The aim of study is to further explore the role of OMT on asthma in a pediatric population. Sponsor: European Institute for Evidence Based Osteopathic Medicine

June 2013 - September 2014
The purpose of the study is to assess the clinical effect of QAW039 in non-atopic asthmatics taking low dose Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS) as background therapy. Sponsor: Novartis

June 2013 - August 2014
The primary objective of the study is to establish whether budesonide/formoterol fumarate dihydrate (BF) SPIROMAX 160/4.5 mcg is as effective as SYMBICORT TURBOHALER 200/6 mcg administered twice daily in patients with persistent asthma. Sponsor: Teva Pharmaceutical Industries

June 2013 - May 2015
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of different doses and regimens of dupilumab in patients with moderate to severe, uncontrolled asthma Secondary Objective: To evaluate different doses and regimens of dupilumab in patients with moderate to severe uncontrolled asthma, with regard to: - Safety and tolerability - Dupilumab systemic exposure and anti-drug antibodies Sponsor: Sanofi

May 2013 - December 2013
RV1729 is a new medicine being developed for possible treatment of asthma and smoking related lung disease (also known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - COPD). The main purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single and repeat doses of RV1729. Sponsor: Respivert Ltd

May 2013 - December 2013
The purpose of this study is to prospectively examine the relation between topical corticosteroid use and hair cortisol concentration, among patients with moderate persistent asthma or allergic rhinitis. The investigators hypothesize that patients with asthma or allergic rhinitis treated with topical corticosteroids (i.e. inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) or intranasal glucocorticoids (INGC)) have higher levels of hair cortisol after 3 months of treatment than during the 3 months prior to initiation of treatment. Sponsor: Meir Medical Center

May 2013 - February 2014
The objective of this study is to evaluate if single subcutaneous (SC) doses of PL-3994, administered to patients with asthma can achieve a clinically meaningful increase in pulmonary function (Forced Expiratory Volume in one second: FEV1) while maintaining an acceptable safety profile. The study will characterize the bronchodilator effect, dose and safety of PL-3994 in a population of moderately severe, stable asthmatics following overnight withdrawal of beta-2 agonists. Sponsor: Palatin Technologies

May 2013 - October 2013
This study will assess the pharmacodynamics, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of indacaterol maleate (QAB149), administered via the EPIC test fixture. The study aims to determine whether the novel device has a similar clinical profile as the established concept 1 device. Sponsor: Novartis

May 2013 - September 2013
The purpose of this study is to compare the test product Salmeterol/fluticasone Easyhaler with the reference product Seretide Diskus in terms of drug absorbed in the bloodstream. Sponsor: Orion Corporation, Orion Pharma

May 2013 - December 2013
The study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled cross-over study in 32 adult subjects with moderately severe asthma. In this study the bronchodilator effect of a single morning dosing of FF/VI combination 100/25 mcg will be determined by spirometry. After the screening the subject will be randomized and will be assigned to one of two treatment sequences (AB or BA, where A is placebo and B is FF/VI 100/25 mcg). Between the two treatment periods there will be a washout period of 7-14 days. A serial forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) measurements will be taken at 15, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours post dose. Safety assessments will include vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), adverse event (AE) monitoring and laboratory safety tests however, these will not constitute study endpoints. The results of the study will provide supporting information to prescribers on the bronchodilator effect of FF/VI over 72 hours. Sponsor: GlaxoSmithKline
