Filter by:The goal of this exploratory and observational prospective study is to study the composition and phenotypes of blood leukocytes collected from asthmatic patients before and after instantiated treatment with the interleukin-5 neutralizing antibody mepolizumab. Comparisons will be made to leukocyte profiles in patients already on mepolizumab treatment, asthma patients without any biological treatment, and non-diseased control subjects.
A study involving primary data collection within real-world settings of participants who initiate treatment with tezepelumab for severe uncontrolled asthma. This study will complement evidence obtained from randomized controlled trials and provide new data focusing on the holistic and patient reported outcome (PRO).
Our study aiming to look in improvement of Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM) score as a primary outcome. The secondary outcomes involving the need for second step management, need for admission and possible side effects. It's double blinded randomized control study comparing Nebulized Epinephrine with standard treatment (salbutamol + Ipratropium) versus the standard treatment only in pediatric patient. A pilot study will be conducted before to detect the sample size required and data will be collected at deferent interval post treatment targeting intension to treat for analysis.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare soy isoflavones to placebo in children who at risk of asthma and have a genetic variation which results in them making more of a pro-inflammatory protein, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. The main questions this trail seeks to answer is: will soy isoflavones decrease wheezing episodes in these children when given in the first year of life. Participants will be asked to ingest soy isoflavone or placebo twice daily mixed into a liquid or puree vehicle for 7 months from randomization. There will be 3 mandatory in-person visits, and 6 virtual visits in the first year. There will also be 11 monthly questionnaires and 1 in person visit in the observation year. Participants will have 4 nasal swabs, 3 blood draws, and also provide 4 stool samples over the course of the study.
Τherapeutic equivalence, randomized, multiple-dose, placebo-controlled, observer-blind, parallel group design consisting of a 2-week run-in period followed by a 4-week treatment period with Fluticasone propionate 100 mcg and Salmeterol 50 mcg inhalation powder/Respirent Pharmaceuticals (Test) or ADVAIR DISKUS® 100/50 mcg (Reference) or placebo.
This Phase IIa, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of GDC-6599 compared with placebo in patients with a history of chronic cough.
The purpose of this study is to retrofit the existing electronic stethoscope, improve the quality and efficiency of signal acquisition and the intelligent degree of information processing, decrease the manual action of electronic stethoscopes implemented by parents of asthma children, simplify the process of data transfer and the user's operational cost using signal processing, artificial intelligence technology, thus decreasing the feedback cycle between patients and clinicians. Eventually, we will construct an intelligent monitoring system based on the modified electronic stethoscope and explore the interactive remote management approaches on children's asthma at the same time, thus achieving revolutionized remote management of asthma.
Asthma is a common lung condition that cannot be cured, although usually it can be effectively controlled with available treatments. Yet, it is well recognised that 70% of patients are non-adherent to their asthma treatment. Personalising treatment by offering the most relevant interventions based on the patient's psychological/behavioural needs results in great success. However, health care providers have limited available resources to deliver a patient-centred approach to their psychological/behavioural needs, resulting in a current one-size-fits-all strategy due to the non-feasible nature of existing surveys. The solution would be to provide health care professionals with a clinically feasible questionnaire that identifies the patients personal psychological/behavioural factors to adherence.
This study aims to analyze the immune profiles of patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal polyps (CRSwNP) with and without asthma before and after Mepolizumab. A group of participants with CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) with asthma will be included to compare their immune profiles to CRSwNP.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn about the impact of the implementation of an intervention-based case management follow-up program during periods of clinical worsening or poor adherence in patients with moderate and severe asthma. Patients will be randomized into two arms: a case management follow-up group and a control group that will follow-up according to routine care practice. A single masking (outcomes assessor) was performed. Researchers will compare the response on exacerbations, health resource use and asthma control between the two groups during a one-year follow-up. Outcomes on pulmonary function, quality of life, adherence to treatment, pulmonary inflammation parameters and systemic corticosteroid use will also be studied. Additionally, other baseline clinical characteristics and events of the previous year will be collected retrospectively for all patients. The study was evaluated and approved by a local ethics committee. All study participants will receive an asthma education session with review of inhaler technique and training in the use of self-management action plans. Only participants in the case management follow-up group will periodically send asthma control (ACT) and adherence (TAI) questionnaires to the case manager. If not completed, the case manager will contact the patient by telephone to determine the degree of asthma control and adherence. The case manager will also monitor the withdrawal of drugs on the electronic prescription. The patient will contact the case manager via a mobile app, phone or email if needed due to worsening symptoms or need for self-management support. With this information, the case manager will make decisions based on personalized medical instructions prepared by the pulmonologist at the baseline visit, which will be reviewed according to evolution.
