This study will compare the patient handling of Flutiform® pMDI (pressurised metered dose inhaler) and a breath activated device (BAI). Patient handling will be assessed using assessment criteria which detail the correct handling steps for each inhaler.
The study is aimed to assess the dose proportional total systemic exposure (when the administration is without the activated charcoal) to B17MP (active metabolite of BDP) and its lung bioavailability (when the administration is with the activated charcoal) after single inhalation of CHF 1535 NEXThaler DPI at two dose strengths. At the same time, the study will assess if the lung deposition and the total systemic exposure to Formoterol is affected by increasing doses of BDP.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover, single dose study in 24 pediatric patients (4-11 years old) with asthma. The entire study consists of (i) a Screening Visit and (ii) a Study Period with two (2) Study Visits. All study subjects must be properly consented, under adult supervision, and screened against the inclusion and exclusion criteria, at the Screening Visit.
This study examines the pharmacokinetic profile of Armstrong's proposed Epinephrine Inhalation Aerosol USP, an HFA-MDI (E004), using a stable isotope deuterium-labeled epinephrine (epinephrine-d3) to differentiate the administered drug from the endogenous epinephrine, in healthy male and female adult volunteers. The current study is designed to complement an earlier PK study, API-E004-CL-B, for a more thorough evaluation of the E004 PK. Safety of E004 will also be evaluated.
The main purpose of the study is to compare the change of the AZD5069 Pharmacokinetic profile when administered with ketoconazole. Subjects will be treated first with AZD5069 only followed by a washout period before starting with the combined treatment (both ketoconazole and AZD5069).
Asthma is an inflammatory disease, which means it causes swelling in the lungs to cause shortness of breath and/or wheezing. There are several asthma medications that help to reduce this problem. The objective of this research study is to characterize the presence of electrophilic fatty acids in the bronchial airway of subjects with controlled asthma at baseline and after treatment with Aspirin, Indomethacin, or no treatment at all. The presence of electrophilic fatty acids may indicate inflammation. Aspirin and Indomethacin are known to respectively increase and inhibit the formation of electrophilic fatty acids. By gaining a better understanding of how electrophilic fatty acids work and how they respond to different treatment, researchers hope to be able to find better ways to lessen airway inflammation in asthma in the future.
The goal of this study is to perform a pilot study to evaluate the utilization of oxygen as an inhaled contrast agent to image the airway spaces in normal and diseased human lungs to allow an effect size estimate to power future studies.
We will study whether taking vitamin D improves asthma control and spirometric values in elderly asthmatics.
The last mile of the medication use system requires tools to help patients comply with medication administration rules and monitor for side effects. Personal health records (PHR) and emerging user-adopted communication tools promise to change the landscape of medication management. The overarching goal of the MyMediHealth project is to investigate ways in which PHRs and supported applications can improve the safety and quality of medication delivery. Preliminary work in this area by a team of parents, patients and school/clinic health providers created a vision for MyMediHealth, a next-generation medication management system. MyMediHealth was envisioned to allow home-based, school-based, and other caregivers to ensure safe and effective medication delivery. This vision featured just-in-time medication reminders to children with special health care needs, two-way communication to log when doses have been administered or when side effects have occurred, and mechanisms to warn caregivers about side effects and drug interactions. However, much of this work was done using prototypes, storyboards, and vision videos. Recognizing that this vision cannot be carried out without significant changes in processes and policies, the purpose of this proposed study is to evaluate the impact of medication management tools such as MyMediHealth on medication adherence for children with chronic illnesses. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that compared with usual practice, children using mymedihealth will have improved medication adherence and will report improved (decreased) asthma symptoms.
