Filter by:This is a randomized, multicenter, double blind, parallel-group study evaluating the efficacy of mometasone furoate/formoterol fumarate (MF/F) metered dose inhaler (MDI) 400/10 mcg twice daily (BID) compared with MF MDI 400 mcg BID for 12 weeks. Prior to the 12-week double-blind treatment period, subjects will receive open-label MF MDI 400 mcg BID for 2 to 3 weeks during the run-in period. Efficacy will be measured by the area under the curve from 0 to 12 hours [AUC](0-12 hr) of the change from Baseline to the Week 12 Endpoint in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1).
The objective of the proposed large, high-intensity, randomised controlled trial is to evaluate the real-life effectiveness of providing a written action plan to asthmatic children discharged from the emergency department (ED) or hospital on the short-term adherence to written recommendations (including medication, attendance to asthma education and medical follow-up). main outcome is adherence to prescribed inhaled preventive medication measured by an electronic counter. Secondary outcomes include attendance to asthma education and to medical follow-up, serving by pharmacy of prescription of oral steroids, as well as asthma control measured by questionnaire (Asthma Quiz for Kidz),2 use of rescue ß2-agonists, relapse to emergency room.
Native populations consuming high amounts of fish suffer less from allergic diseases. The purpose of this study is to determine whether polyunsaturated fatty acids (fish oil) might have a disease modifying influence on asthmatics sensitized to house dust mite.
Allow physicians not familiar with anti-leukotriene based therapy to test it
The purpose of this study is to assess if treatment with budesonide 200 microgram per day affects short- or long term growth in children with asthma
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of GSK256066 in the treatment of subjects with mild bronchial asthma, using a number of clinical and biological markers of efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of mometasone furoate/formoterol (MF/F) metered dose inhaler (MDI) 200/10 mcg twice-a-day (BID) and MF/F MDI 400/10 mcg BID and two doses of fluticasone/salmeterol combination (F/SC) (250/50 mcg BID and 500/50 mcg BID) in subjects with persistent asthma who require maintenance treatment on inhaled glucocorticosteroids (ICS); evaluator-blind. In addition, the extrapulmonary effects on 24-hour plasma cortisol area under curve (AUC), of MF/F MDI 200/10 mcg BID, MF/F MDI 400/10 mcg BID, F/SC MDI 250/50 mcg BID, and F/SC MDI 500/50 mcg BID will be evaluated.
Asthma is a respiratory condition that affects millions of children. It can be controlled, however, with the proper medications and treatment. AsthmaNet, an internet-based asthma management system, aims to improve the asthma care of children by providing their parents and doctors with appropriate tools and feedback related to asthma management. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of AsthmaNet at improving quality of care and controlling asthma symptoms in children.
The purpose of this study is to find out if adding omalizumab to standard asthma treatment results in a safer, more effective, and longer lasting asthma treatment strategy than standard treatment alone, in inner-city children with mild to severe asthma.
The purposes of this study are to determine the effects of omalizumab on cells involved in the allergic response, to evaluate predictors of response to omalizumab, and to determine whether response to omalizumab therapy is influenced by the environment. A subset of inner-city children and adolescents currently enrolled in Inner-City Anti-IgE Therapy for Asthma (a clinical trial of omalizumab) will be enrolled in this study.
