Filter by:This study is designed to characterize subjects in terms of their sputum phenotype. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the impact of having abnormally elastic sputum on asthma severity by comparing subjects with severe as well as mild/moderate asthma to healthy controls. The characterization will include medical history, pulmonary function testing, imaging of the lungs and biospecimen collection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Methacholine Chloride challenge test in diagnosis of adult asthma
This Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study will evaluate the effects of lebrikizumab on airway eosinophilic inflammation in participants with uncontrolled asthma who are using inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment and a second controller medication. Enrolled participants will undergo a 3-week screening period during which assessments, including a bronchoscopy procedure, will be made. Participants will subsequently be randomized to receive lebrikizumab or placebo by subcutaneous (SC) injection on Day 1, Day 8, Week 4, and Week 8. Participants will continue their standard of care therapy throughout the study. End of treatment assessments will be taken at Week 12. Total study period, including screening and follow-up, is expected to last 23 weeks.
The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SK-1211 inhalation challenge in children with bronchial asthma.
TriVox Health is an online system designed to make it easy for healthcare providers to monitor patients' disease symptoms and functioning over time and in between in-person visits (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR1vcbx0Ef4). Using combined quality improvement and randomized clinical trial methods, we will evaluate the impact of TriVox on the health outcomes, patient/family experience of care, and healthcare utilization for children and adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), asthma, autism, depression, and epilepsy.
In this study patients suffering from Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated asthma are treated with a method, called immune apheresis, that removes IgE from blood. In order to achieve this blood is taken continuously from the patient and then separated into plasma and blood cells by centrifuge. The plasma passes the new IgE adsorber where the IgE is specifically bound. The "cleaned" plasma re-joined with the blood cells is given back to the patient. In total each patient randomized to the apheresis group will undergo 3 treatments per week (i.e. 1 cycle) every 4 weeks over a time period of 3 months, that means 9 apheresis treatments in 3 cycles in total. Study hypothesis is that the new IgE adsorber is capable of reducing IgE in plasma/serum by at least 50% measured before the first treatment in the first cycle and after the last treatment in the last treatment cycle. The new adsorber can be safely used in patients. A group of patients with conventional drug treatment and no apheresis treatment serves as control.
The primary aim of this study is to clarify the position of FF and FF/Vilanterol (VI) 100/25 micrograms (mcg) compared with existing therapies by assessing FF dosage equivalent to low to middle-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). The study is divided into Run-in period, Period 1 (open-label treatment), Period 2 (double blind treatment) and Follow-up. Subjects with well controlled asthma after completing a run-in period of 4 weeks will be switched from middle-dose ICS/long acting beta 2 agonist (LABA) equivalent dose to once-daily FF/VI 100/25 mcg for an 8 weeks treatment period (Period 1). After this, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive either FP 250 mcg twice daily, FP 100 mcg twice daily or FF 100 mcg once daily in a 12 week double blind treatment period (Period 2). There will be a 1 week Follow-up Period following completion of the double-blind treatment period, or early withdrawal from the study. Overall , the total duration of subject's participation in the study will be for 25 weeks. RELVAR is a registered trademark of the GSK group of companies.
The purpose of this study is to assess the the ability of a single dose of LAS40468 administered via Genuair® and a single dose of salmeterol/fluticasone propionate (Seretide®) administered via Accuhaler to produce bronchodilation (opening of the airways) and the safety and tolerability of the treatments
The investigators propose to implement and evaluate an integrated care program for enhancing the care of patients with asthma in a region of Quebec province, Canada. The investigators will implement our intervention in a family medicine group practice setting and plan to deliver it to 150 experimental group subjects. The investigators will simultaneously study 300 control subjects who are receiving usual care in other regions of the province of Quebec. Our hypothesis is that the program will improve the quality of life of patients with asthma exposed to the program, asthma control, inhaled corticosteroid adherence, knowledge of asthma, and a number of variables that relate to the conceptual model selected as a framework for this study (the PRECEDE-PROCEED model of Green and Kreuter).
The purpose is to investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Symbicort pMDI 80/2.25 μg and Symbicort pMDI 80/4.5 μg, Compared with Budesonide pMDI 80 μg, 2 Actuations Twice Daily, in Children Ages 6 to <12 Years with Asthma during 12 weeks.
