Filter by:Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of airways and lungs that results in hyper-reactivity and clinically relevant episodes of wheezing. This study has been designed to assess the correct use and ease of use of the ELLIPTA® DPI in pediatric subjects with asthma. ELLIPTA DPI is easy to use, requires few steps, is consistent in dosing and eliminates the hand-breath co-ordination required for metered dose inhalers (MDIs). Subjects will be stratified by age into two strata: Stratum 1: subjects in the age group of 5 to 7 years and Stratum 2: Subjects in the age group of 8 to 11 years. All subjects will be trained by Health care professionals (HCP) for the correct use of ELLIPTA DPI. Subjects will be given three chances to attempt correct use of ELLIPTA DPI; subsequently, if the subject is not successful, the parent/guardian will be able to help instruct the subject on the correct use of the ELLIPTA DPI, for two more attempts. The subjects who will be enrolled in the study will take placebo ELLIPTA DPI once daily. After 28 days subjects will be randomized in 1:1 to receive a questionnaire (Version A and B). After completion of the questionnaire on ELLIPTA DPI ease of use, subject's ability to use ELLIPTA DPI correctly will be re-assessed. Approximately 219 subjects will be screened to participate in the study. The study will be conducted for 28 days. ELLIPTA is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) group of companies.
Pragmatic trial to define the magnitude and the predictive factors of the response to omalizumab and mepolizumab in adult patients with severe refractory asthma and eligible to both therapies.
Pneumonia is a major infectious cause of death worldwide and imposes a considerable burden on healthcare resources. Obstructive lung diseases (COPD and Asthma) are increasingly important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), and acute exacerbations of obstructive lung diseases commonly present with similar signs and symptoms. For antibiotic use, the rapid and accurate differentiation of clinically relevant of bacterial lower respiratory tract infections from other mimics is essential. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid has both extracellular and intracellular effects in mammalian cells. S1P is involved in many physiological processes including immune responses and endothelial barrier integrity. In term of endothelial barrier integrity, S1P plays a crucial role in protecting lungs from the pulmonary leak and lung injury. Because of the involvement in lung injury, S1P would be the potential biomarker of pneumonia. Based on the above evidence, S1P plays an essential role in the pathobiology of pneumonia was hypothesized.
This is a proof of concept study designed to assess the effects of a single intravenous dose of etokimab compared to placebo in adult participants with severe eosinophilic asthma. This study will also assess the safety and tolerability of etokimab in adult participants with severe eosinophilic asthma.
This is a multi-centre, randomized, double-blind，placebo parallel-controlled phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CMAB007 (recombinant humanized anti-immunoglobulin E(IgE) monoclonal antibody for injection) to treat asthma patients who remain not adequately controlled despite Med/high ICS plus LABA in China. Following a screening period of up to 2 weeks and run-in period of 4 weeks, randomized patients will enter a 24-week treatment period with CMAB007 or placebo. Efficacy and safety will be assessed at 4-week intervals during the treatment period.
The purpose of this study is to establish the reference values of impulse oscillometry (IOS) in healthy Chinese, and compare the indices of IOS in patients with lung disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, interstitial lung disease (ILD), and upper airway Obstruction (UAO).
The purpose of the study is to establish the methodology of bronchial dilation test by salbutamol MDI with Spacer in wheezy infants with asthma and to evaluate the effects of atopy on the exacerbation of wheeze in wheezy infants.
The Children and Young People's Health Partnership (CYPHP) Evelina London model is an innovative, evidence-based approach to reshaping healthcare services in Southwark and Lambeth. The model of care is a complex health services public health intervention aiming to integrate care across organisational and professional boundaries. There is a major focus on improving front line care for all children and young people, and comprehensive proactive care for those with common and long-term conditions such as asthma, epilepsy, eczema, and constipation CYPHP Evelina London model of care is being adopted by the Clinical Commissioning Groups of Southwark and Lambeth as part of routine care. Early roll out of the model has already started. However, due to resource limitations, implementation will occur in phases. In the first phase (~two years), half of GP practices in the Lambeth and Southwark area will implement the full model while others will offer enhanced usual care (EUC). The evaluation team will utilize this staged CCG roll out to evaluate the programme using a cluster randomised controlled trial design. It is expected that all the EUC practices will also adopt the CYPHP model within the next three years. The impact of the CYPHP Evelina London model will be assessed at two levels; at the population level ("Population evaluation") and among CYP with specific conditions ("Tracer condition evaluation"). The tracer condition evaluation will with consent, follow up CYP with tracer conditions (asthma, epilepsy, eczema, constipation) to assess the impact of the new model of care on health service use, quality of care, and child health measures including health-related quality of life. Cost-effectiveness will be assessed for population and tracer conditions.
assess the efficacy and safety of Salmeterol Xinafoate and Fluticasone Propinate Powder for inhalation (50ug/250ug) in combination with seretide to patients with Asthma. a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, positive-controlled, parallel-group trail.
Obesity is associated with poor asthma control and greater healthcare utilization and costs. In this study the researchers will examine the biologic and behavioral interrelationships between these conditions and their impact on outcomes. Towards this end, the researchers will conduct an observational prospective cohort study of 400 obese asthmatic patients treated at institutions in New York City and Denver, and develop and pilot test educational and counseling modules that take an integrated approach to asthma and obesity self-management support.
