Filter by:The primary objective is to determine if AMG 853 is effective compared with placebo as measured by change in Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) composite symptoms scores from baseline to week 12.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of fluticasone furoate/GW642444
The hypothesis to be tested is that acutely ill asthmatics who do not resolve their attacks following standard doses of albuterol and require admission to hospital have single nucleotide polymorphisms of their B2 adrenergic receptors that lower B2 agonist responsivity.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of 4 doses of BI 1744 CL inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat® inhaler once daily for four weeks in patients with asthma in comparison to placebo.
This study assessed the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of two different formulations of indacaterol, one administered via the Concept1 device and one administered via the Simoon device. The study aimed to determine whether the novel formulation (Simoon) had a similar profile to that of the established formulation (Concept1).
Despite the physiologic and clinical effects provided by coupling nebulization with noninvasive ventilation in asthma exacerbation, there are few and controversial studies reported in the literature.
Patients presenting to hospital with an acute asthma exacerbation severe enough to require admission would receive full standard treatment according to British Thoracic Society guidelines in addition they would be offered the opportunity to take part in the study which would requite them to take a capsule of either montelukast or placebo.
The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BI 671800 ED using three dose levels of BI 671800 ED (50 mg, 200 mg and 400 mg), administered twice daily compared to FP (fluticasone propionate) nasal 100 mcg per nostril qd in the morning or Montelukast 10 mg qd am given for 2 weeks in patients with SAR (seasonal allergic rhinitis) out of season using an environmental exposure chamber in patients known to be sensitive to the aero-allergen Dactylis glomerata.
This study will assess the change in the expression of FcεRI receptors of blood basophils and dendritic cells after 16 weeks of treatment with omalizumab as compared with placebo, in adult patients with non-atopic severe persistent asthma, uncontrolled despite optimal therapy.
Respiratory diseases including Asthma are high prevalent among preschool children. Specific treatment, nowadays, include steroid inhalers and anti leukotrienes. It is known that the amount of the drug reaching small airways and lungs is bigger how much smaller the particles liberated by inhalers. Beclometasone is being used for treating asthma for 30 years. Lately emerged a new presentation of beclometasone, which liberates particles as small as 2.1 µg, that is supposed to reach the small airways at higher concentrations and be more suitable to patients who don't cooperate properly to the procedure of inhalation. The investigators' group has reported successfully the possibility to perform Pulmonary Challenge tests (adenosine, methacholine and exercise) in tender age. Other studies reported relation between asthma control and reduction in airway hyperreactivity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Beclometasone dipropionate - Qvar to reduce airways hyperreactivity in preschool children, as demonstrated by adenosine challenge test.
