Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test if Symbicort® (budesonide/formoterol) Turbuhaler® is effective in treating asthma when used 'as needed' in patients with milder asthma. The efficacy of Symbicort® 'as needed' will be compared with: 1) terbutaline Turbuhaler® 'as needed' and with 2) Pulmicort (budesonide) Turbuhaler® twice daily plus terbutaline Turbuhaler® 'as needed'.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if Broncho-Vaxom® given to high risk infants for 10 days, monthly, for two consecutive years can increase time to occurrence of the first episode of wheezing lower respiratory tract illness (WLRI) during a three year observation period off therapy.
The aim of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of acute bronchodilator effect between a single dose of CHF 1535 NEXThaler 200/6 µg and a single dose of CHF 1535 NEXThaler 100/6 µg at two dose levels in partially controlled and uncontrolled asthmatic patients.
The primary objective of the NIS is to evaluate the severity of newly diagnosed asthma patients based on Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) severity category (GINA 2006 update).
The purpose of this study is to estimate the impact of a curriculum intervention on asthma knowledge in adolescents of a public school in Salvador-Bahia-Brazil.
The aim of this group-randomized trial was to test the effectiveness of a new comprehensive program, which the investigators called CALMA -plus, in increasing controller medication use and reducing asthma symptoms. CALMA-plus involved the CALMA home-based family intervention, plus educational training of physicians and nurses, as well as screening for asthma in clinics serving Medicaid island Puerto Rican children with asthma. Because the provider training was expected to have an impact on the entire clinical setting where trained providers work, as well as the patients using that setting, the investigators randomized clinic groups rather than individual patients. The investigators compared the CALMA-Plus intervention to a CALMA-only group, which the investigators expected to obtain the same benefits as the investigators have previously documented.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of fluticasone propionate (Fp) multidose dry powder inhaler (MDPI) and fluticasone propionate/salmeterol xinafoate (FS) MDPI when administered over 12 weeks in patients 12 years of age and older with persistent asthma.
This study will compare the absolute and relative effectiveness of managing real-life asthma with and without the use of NIOX MINO® and NIOX Flex® to measure exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) as a marker of underlying airway inflammation to guide appropriate management. As exhaled nitric oxide responds rapidly to environmental changes and can act as a marker of underlying inflammation it is proposed that incorporating eNO monitoring into routine asthma management treatment allows strategies to be more accurately tailored to the patients needs, increasing the probability of good asthma control.
Following on from a 10 year study conducted in Finland this study is designed to test the validity and sustainability of an enhanced asthma management model for the UK.
