Filter by:Safety study of Depigoid vaccine Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus or 50% Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus / 50% Dermatophagoides farinae (500 DPP/ml), to treat allergic rhinitis or rhinoconjunctivitis with or without asthma. Primary variable: number of subjects [%] who experienced at least one immediate or delayed systemic reaction of EAACI grade 2 or higher during the 4-month treatment period.
There is a lack of prospective scientific data on the regular use of moisturizers in patients at risk of developing atopic dermatitis. Although generally accepted and widely used for secondary prevention, emollients have not been studied as a primary prevention strategy. Strategies previously studied for the prevention of atopic dermatitis include maternal and child's dietary manipulations, allergens avoidance, delay of food introduction, exclusive breastfeeding and probiotic supplementation. Despite years of research, none of those strategies yielded to strong evidence of a protective effect. There is therefore a need to explore novel strategies. There is a need to compare the cumulative incidence rate of atopic dermatitis in newborns using a standard bathing and moisturizing routine with a good moisturizer to a non interventional group. This 2-year study will recruit approximately four hundred and sixty (460) pregnant women with a first degree relative of the child to be born who currently has (or previously had) a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis in order to study approximately 200 eligible newborns in each of the two study groups at the beginning of the study. Pregnant women will be randomized (1:1) to either daily use of the moisturizer Lipikar Balm AP (applied to their infant) starting from birth (Group 1) immediately after bathing or to no intervention (Group 2).
In this study we will investigate the effect of intranasal corticosteroid therapy, which is known to reduce mucosal inflammation and nasal blockage, on asthmatic symptoms.
The primary goal of the study is to more firmly establish correlations between WheezeRate(Wz%) and other parameters used to assess wheezing and asthma including spirometry, provider's auscultation, and symptoms at the time of Wz% measurement.
The Chairman of the Veterans' Disability Benefits Commission reported at a recent US Senate hearing that asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and sleep apnea are among the top 13 most frequent diagnoses leading to disability under the Department of Defense and the VA system statutes. Recent research finds that sleep apnea is more common among asthma and COPD individuals, and this may be caused by inhaled corticosteroid use. Many Veterans are currently using inhaled corticosteroids, and many more will be prescribed such medications, given their recent inclusion in international treatment guidelines. As such, this study addresses a critical need by researching the role of a potent inhaled corticosteroid in promoting sleep apnea, the determinants of this response, and the ways through which it occurs. Results from this study will form the foundation for future research aimed at expanding understanding of the effects of inhaled corticosteroids on the upper airway, as well as developing means to prevent or counteract them.
The purpose of this study is to determine that no significant safety issues will be identified following a single dose of AMG 761 in asthma subjects that would preclude further development of AMG 761.
This study is a preliminary proof of efficacy study of AIN457 in patients with bronchial asthma that is poorly controlled with the current standard of care.
The aim of the study is to assess and compare efficacy and safety of BI 54903 at 3 doses twice daily (b.i.d.), fluticasone propionate hydrofluoroalkane metered dose inhaler (HFA MDI) at a dose of 220 mcg b.i.d. and placebo b.i.d. over an 8-week treatment period in asthmatic patients aged 12 to 65 years inadequately controlled on low dose Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) as demonstrated by a decrease in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1 (range 10-25%) and an asthma control questionnaire (ACQ-6) greater or equal 1.5 at time of randomisation
The aim of the study is to assess and compare efficacy and safety of BI 54903 at 3 doses twice daily (b.i.d.) and fluticasone propionate hydrofluoroalkane metered dose inhaler (HFA MDI) at a dose of 88 mcg b.i.d and placebo b.i.d. over an 8-week treatment period in asthmatic patients aged 12 to 65 years inadequately controlled on short-acting-beta-agonist (SABA) prn therapy only as demonstrated by a decrease in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) range10 to 25% and an asthma control questionnaire (ACQ-6) equal or greater than 1.5 at time of randomization
The aim of the study is to assess and compare efficacy and safety of BI 54903 at three different dosages (b.i.d)., fluticasone propionate hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) metered dose inhaler (MDI) at a dose of 440 mcg b.i.d and low dose fluticasone propionate 88 mcg b.i.d. over an 8-week treatment period in asthmatic patients aged 12 to 65 years inadequately controlled medium dose ICS therapy as demonstrated by a decrease in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) range 10 to 25 % and an asthma control questionnaire-6 (ACQ-6) equal or greater than 1.5 at time of randomisation.
