Filter by:This study enrolled 30 healthy volunteers and 30 patients with atopic asthma, for a total of 60 subjects. The study examined the tolerability of omalizumab and omalizumab excipients in two successive cohorts of subjects, healthy volunteers and patients with allergic asthma without prior exposure to omalizumab, according to a skin test protocol, consisting of a prick skin test and/or intradermal test.
This is a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 4-way cross-over study. At each study visit a standardised treadmill test will be performed to provoke EIA. Before and after the challenge test pulmonary function variables (e.g. forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)) will be measured in order to assess the protective effect of the study medication.
The trial is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 5 µg tiotropium over a 48-week treatment period as compared to placebo. Tiotropium inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat® inhaler will be examined as add-on controller therapy on top of usual care in patients with severe persistent asthma. The primary objective of each trial is to evaluate the long term efficacy of tiotropium over placebo on top of usual care in patients with severe persistent asthma as determined by pulmonary function testing, effects on asthma exacerbations, effects on quality of life, on asthma control and health care resource utilisation. The secondary objective of each trial is to compare the long term safety of tiotropium with placebo in this patient population.
The allergic respiratory diseases such as asthma or allergic rhinitis are the main chronic diseases in children. The airway inflammation plays an important role in their pathophysiology. Several epidemiological studies show that environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exacerbates the symptoms of asthma and allergies. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of environmental tobacco smoke on the measurement of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) and biomarkers of nasal inflammation in atopic asthmatic children.
The primary objective of this study is to elucidate the effects of Diesel particles on the allergic inflammation in the airways of asthmatic patients.

The effect of surfactant protein D under native and altered conditions will be investigated in immune cells that are derived from bronchoalveolar lavage in patients with allergic asthma following segmental allergen challenge. The goal of this study is to elucidate the pro- versus anti-inflammatory function of SP-D molecules and to identify motifs of SP-D that have treatment potential in allergic asthma.
Verify if the quantitative parameters of the eosinophils activation and phagocyte system function show a predictive value for clinical response and prognostic in patients with persistent asthma treated with montelukast
To evaluate the concordance of the most frequently used words by the patients and the physicians to express asthma symptoms, according to the patient's level of asthma control.
This study evaluates the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of MK0633 in adolescent mild-to-moderate Japanese asthma patients to permit further clinical investigation
