Filter by:The purpose of this study is to demonstrate dose proportionality of fluticasone furoate (FF) and equivalence of vilanterol (VI)following single dose administration of FF/VI via the novel dry powder inhaler in healthy subjects.
In the present proposal the investigators wish to assess the effect of a single session with the device known as Exer-Rest® which applies Whole Body Periodic Acceleration (WBPA) on baseline airway blood flow (Qaw) and in Qaw variation, in current smokers, glucocorticoid-naïve asthmatics, and age-matched healthy never-smokers, with the expectation that the treatment will transiently increase the Qaw, and to a greater extent in the current smokers and patients with asthma who have endothelial dysfunction.
Glucocorticosteroids inhibit the disposal of organic cations by blocking organic cation transporters expressed by non-neuronal cells, thereby interfering with the inactivation of the organic cations by intracellular enzymes. Beta2-adrenergic agonists are organic cations, and the concentration of inhaled beta2-adrenergic agonists at beta2-adrenergic receptor sites on smooth muscle is likely to be increased by inhaled glucocorticosteroids (ICS) by the ICS' effect on the glucocorticosteroid-sensitive organic cation transporters. The investigators have shown in human airway vascular smooth muscle cells that the glucocorticosteroid action on organic cation uptake occurs within minutes, does not involve gene transcription or protein synthesis, is not mediated through classical steroid receptors, and is cell membrane-linked. In the present proposal, the investigators wish to use different single doses of mometasone, a clinically effective ICS, administered with or at different times before albuterol inhalation in subjects with moderate persistent asthma who are obstructed at the time of study. With this approach the investigators will test the hypothesis that a single inhalation of mometasone causes an acute, transient, dose-dependent potentiation of beta2-adrenergic bronchodilation. If the hypothesis that a single dose of mometasone acutely potentiates beta2-adrenergic bronchodilation is correct, the results would have a significant impact on treatment strategies involving ICSs and beta2-adrenergic agonists in patients with asthma.
The purpose of the study is to determine if inhaled iloprost given four times daily can improve symptoms and lung function in adults with mild asthma.
A randomised, placebo controlled thorough QTc study to evaluate the effect of repeat dose FF/GW642444M combination, with moxifloxacin as a positive control, on the QTc interval in healthy male and female subjects. Key assessments will include 12- lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, along with safety being assessed by blood pressure, heart rate, clinical laboratory safety tests, and collection of adverse events.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety profile for long term treatment in children aged 5 years and <15 years on bronchial asthma in daily clinical usage/Effect on growth rate. Effect on adrenal function. Development of infection diseases by diseases type.
This study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of omalizumab, compared to placebo in 18 to 75 year old Chinese patients with moderate to severe persistent allergic asthma who have inadequate asthma control despite treatment according to GINA (2009) Step 4 therapy.
The purpose of this study is to describe the safety and tolerability of single and repeat oral doses of GSK1440115 in healthy volunteers.
The primary objective will be to compare the formulations regarding their impact on the pulmonary function of persistent asthma patients and the secondary objective will be the clinical control of the disease's symptoms.
The primary objective will be to compare the impact of the study formulations on pulmonary function in persistent asthma carriers.
