Filter by:This observational study aims at developing and validating a simple questionnaire to be routinely applied in the clinical practice, for the evaluation of the quality of life in children with concomitant asthma and allergic rhinitis. The study consists of two phases: Phase 1: Development of the RAPP-children questionnaire starting from the validated RHINASTHMA-children questionnaire. Phase 2: Administration and validation of the RAPP-children questionnaire. 150 children with concomitant asthma and allergic rhinitis will be followed-up for one month. Both at baseline and after one month, the RAPP children and several other standardized questionnaires will be administered.
This study analyzes the prevalence of patients using inhalation devices via incorrect technique and access the adherence of patients to correct inhalation technique when taught along with their subjective improvement of symptoms.
For the prophylactic treatment of asthma, FP inhaled aerosol (Flixotide ®) administered via a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) was approved in China in adults, adolescents older than 16 years of age and children aged 4 to 16 years. This post-marketing safety monitoring program will evaluate the safety profile of FP 50 micrograms (µg) inhaled via a pediatric spacer device with a face mask in Chinese subjects aged 1 to <4 years. The adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and predictors of these adverse reactions among subjects will be reported. This single arm observational study will include subjects prescribed with FP 50 µg inhaled via a pediatric spacer device with a face mask. The maximum duration of the study will be 12 weeks with 3 visits. Visit 1 (Day 1) will be on-site visit and will also mark the start of the observational program. The follow-up visits will be scheduled at Visit 2 (Week 4), and Visit 3 (Week 12) conducted on site or by telephone. A total of 150 asthmatic subjects who have been prescribed FP 50 µg treatment for appropriate medical use for the first time in China will be enrolled in the study. Flixotide is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) group of companies.
Randomized clinical trial to assess acquisition and maintenance of paediatric asthma control through innovative devices supporting usual care. In the first study arm, a new application (DragONE) for iOS and Android will be only used for patient monitoring. In the second study arm, a small portable device (SmartONE) will also be connected to the DragONE APP, for daily assessment of the peak expiratory flow (PEF). The study duration is 12 weeks. The main outcome of the study is the Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) score, assessed once every 4 weeks for 12 weeks.
A Phase 1 study to assess pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of abediterol 5 μg dry powder inhaler (DPI) given once daily (QD) for 9 days, compared to placebo, in patients with asthma on inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs).
This study is to assess the prevalence of Asthma COPD Overlap in subjects with diagnosed asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The subsequent morbidity and mortality of subjects will be followed up for 3 years.
Aerosol therapy is widely used in intensive care in critically ill patients that use mechanical ventilation (MV). However, there is a lack of standardization about aerosol performance in this group of patients. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the effect of nebulization performed in different ventilatory modes on lung function and regional pulmonary distribution of critical patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is a clinical trial, crossover, randomized, controlled and blind. Three interventions with bronchodilators will be performed: in the Pressure Controlled Ventilation mode (PCV) with positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) = 85% of autoPEEP, in the PCV mode with PEEP = 15 cmH2Oand in the Pressure Support Mode (PSV). Pulmonary function data will be evaluated through Electrical Impedance Tomography to evaluate the efficacy of the bronchodilator in different ventilatory modes.
Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases affecting children in the UK. Poorly controlled asthma manifests with chronic cough, wheeze and shortness of breath which in-turn has a significant negative impact on a child's quality of life, interfering with sleep, impairing exercise ability and resulting in frequent school absences and hospital admissions. Management of paediatric asthma in the UK is directed by the British Thoracic Society (BTS) Guidelines, which recommend a stepwise (one to five) treatment plan. Step three of the management guideline for children aged 5-12 years of age recommends the addition of the preventer inhaled medication, including long-acting β2 agonists such as salmeterol. However, there is a wide variation in response to this medication with approximately one in seven people, with a specific genetic change, found to have an increase in asthma symptoms in association with the use of thisiss medication. A related medicine, formoterol, is used less commonly in children with asthma. In this study, the investigators will aim to identify children with asthma whose symptoms are poorly controlled on inhaled long-acting beta2 agonists. Via a simple saliva test, the investigators will identify the presence or absence of the specific genetic change potentally influencing the effectiveness of treatment with salmeterol or related longacting beta2 agonists thus enabling the investigators to recommend either salmeterol or an alternative medication for the treatment plan such as montelukast. The investigators will randomise the patients into two groups; to receive "personalised care" where the choice of controller medication would be based on the child's gene test results and predicted response to long-acting beta2 agonists, or "standard care" following the BTS guidelines at the clinician's discretion without knowledge of the gene test results. The investigators aim to measure whether this individualized approach to asthma prescribing results in improved control of asthma symptoms and overall quality of life. Targeting treatment to a child's specific genetic make-up is a concept known as "personalised medicine".
FACT 4 Child is a follow up study of mothers who participated in the Folic Acid Clinical Trial (NCT01355159) and their children at 4-6 years of age to determine the effect of high dose folic acid supplementation on social impairments associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs), and deficiencies in a range of executive function and emotional and behavioural problems in young children, and the risk of death.
The ACTION intervention: physicAl aCtiviTy In minOrity womeN with asthma is a 3lifestyle physical activity intervention refined to be applicable for sedentary African American (AA) women with asthma. The main outcome of this study is to test the feasibility, acceptability and estimate the efficacy of the ACTION intervention in a randomized controlled pilot of 80 AA women with asthma within a pragmatic community setting at 24-weeks.
