Filter by:A 52-Week, Open-Label, Multicentre Study to Evaluate the Safety of Tralokinumab in Japanese Adults and Adolescents with Asthma Inadequately Controlled on Inhaled Corticosteroid plus Long-Acting β2-Agonist
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of telemedicine multifaceted intervention in symptoms patients with asthma.
Ph2a study planned to be run at approximately 16-18 sites in 4 EU countries (Denmark, Hungary, Poland and Sweden) enrolling approximately 170 patients to ensure 70 randomized patients with eosinophilic, moderate to severe asthma. The patients will receive 13 once weekly inhaled doses of the study drug. Treatment is initiated on top of their ICS/LABA controller medication, which is then tapered down and withdrawn during a period of 3 weeks and during the last 3 weeks of treatment the study drug is given as monotherapy. SABA is used as reliever medication during the whole study period. Primary endpoint is Loss of asthma control. When the endpoint is met, patients will resume their ICS/LABA, will be followed for an additional 4 weeks and will thereafter discontinue the study.
The purpose of the trial was to evaluate efficacy and safety of QMF149 150/80 microgram o.d. delivered via Concept1 compared to MF 200 microgram o.d., delivered via Twisthaler® in terms of lung function and symptom control in poorly (ie inadequately) controlled asthma patients. This study was to assess contribution of LABA as an add-on therapy to low dose ICS monotherapy.
This study is designed to explore lung function effects of two doses of indacaterol acetate, 75 μg and 150 μg, in pediatric asthma patients 6-11 years old, and to compare the systemic exposure to indacaterol in plasma with historical data in adults, to identify an appropriate dose to Phase III evaluation.
There is a regulatory requirement to evaluate the extent of reduction (if any) of growth velocity associated with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) containing products that are to be administered to children, and to this end there is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory guidance. This is a randomised, single-blind (run-in period)/double-blind (treatment period), parallel group, placebo controlled, multicentre study to assess the effect of once daily (OD) inhaled fluticasone furoate (FF) 50 microgram (mcg) on growth velocity in prepubertal asthmatic children on a background therapy of open-label montelukast. This study will be conducted over a total duration of approximately 76 weeks: 16-week run-in period (single-blind placebo inhaler), 52-week double-blind treatment period (inhaled FF 50 mcg /placebo administered OD in the morning for 52 weeks) and 8-week follow-up period. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the magnitude of effect (with a level of precision) on growth velocity of prepubertal asthmatic paediatric subjects (aged 5 to <9 years) following administration of OD inhaled FF 50 mcg for one year. This study fulfills European Union (EU) and United States (US) regulatory requirements for the evaluation of potential growth suppression in children.
The purpose of this study is to characterize adult subjects regarding their history of allergy and asthma, clinical manifestations of asthma, and exposures and conditions that may influence asthma severity and control. Assessments include baseline medical history, lung function tests, questionnaires, and collection of specimens for phenotypic characterization.
The purpose for the trial is intended to evaluate safety and effectiveness of an oxyhydrogen generator with nebulizer in an adjuvant therapy for patients with severe asthma.
The Investigators hypothesise that asthma is not a single disease, but a syndrome resulting from several distinct underlying disease processes known as endotypes. There are approximately 30,000 genes in humans, and each gene is responsible for the production of a particular protein. Using a technique called "whole genome expression profiling" The Investigators have undertaken a small study looking at the activity of all 30,000 genes in the airway tissue of people with asthma. This work has identified 3 mutually exclusive distinct molecular patterns (endotypes) of severe asthma and has identified other potentially important molecular targets (manuscripts in preparation). In particular,the Investigators have found that 25-50% of patients have asthma associated with the activity of proteins called Th2 cytokines (Th2-high asthma). New treatments are in development that target this pathway. However, the Investigators do not know what is driving severe asthma in patients who do not express these Th2 cytokines. The aim of this study is to investigate in more detail the molecular mechanisms driving severe asthma in patients who do not express Th2 cytokines (Th2-low asthma), so that the Investigators can identify new targets for treatment in this group. To do this the Investigators will collect airway tissue via a telescope (bronchoscope), and analyse gene and protein expression in the tissue. The Investigators will then compare the molecular activity between patients with Th2-high and Th2-low asthma, and healthy control subjects (data obtained from a parallel study).
The study focusses on the evaluation of safety and tolerability of the XC8. The design of the study involves sequential dosing of cohorts (group of volunteers), taking increasing doses of the product after receiving conclusion and recommendation for further continuation of the study from the Dose Escalation Committee.
