Filter by:The aim EXACT@Home is to create an evidence-based health program using e.g. questionnaires, a digital health platform and multiple digital devices to further improve the assessment of patients diagnosed with severe asthma. By better charting treatable traits (e.g. poor adherence, physical inactivity, dysfunctional breathing), we expect to improve the indication for the use of biologics. One the devices that will be used is also a medicinal product: a digital inhaler, which monitors adherence and inhaler technique through its connected application and aims to improve adherence and inhaler technique with reminders and notifications. Next to this an activity tracker, hand-held spirometer and FeNO measuring device will be used. The information of the devices will be collected in a Personal Digital Healthcare Environment (PDHE). Patients diagnosed with severe asthma according to the regional asthma Multi-Disciplinary Team Meeting (MDTM) eligible for a treatment with biologics will be included. Half of the patients will immediately receive a biologic. The other half will first undergo the systematic assessment including home monitoring (=EXACT@home) and afterwards a treatment will be chosen based on this evaluation: optimization of treatable traits when present and/or biologics. The chosen treatment of both, the intervention and control group, will be evaluated during 11-12 months.
Assess the usability and acceptance of the P-STEP app, through allowing participants with specific chronic conditions to pilot the app for 12-weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for cardiac repolarization, according to electrocardiographic monitoring (including QT and QTc intervals), of two dose levels of CHF5993 pMDI (beclomethasone dipropionate/formoterol fumarate/glycopyrronium bromide (BDP/FF/GB)) and of one dose of CHF5259 (GB) in healthy subjects compared to moxifloxacin and placebo.
The goal of this observational study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of an online intervention for people with troublesome asthma in primary care, involving a consultation with a primary care clinician to introduce and promote online peer support (i.e. support from other patients with asthma within an established and safe OHC). The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Is the intervention feasible and acceptable to patients? - Can the research team recruit patients and collect health-related data to identify the impact of this intervention on patients and what are the challenges to pursue further research to evaluate this intervention in a trial?
The database will contain a wide range of demographic, clinical, radiological, laboratory, functional, microbiological, treatment, and clinical outcomes data on adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma enrolled during stable state with annual follow-up (either one or two-year follow up). Primary Objective: To collect clinical (including quality of life measurements), laboratory (including non-invasive measurement of biomarkers), microbiological, radiological, functional, treatment variables and clinical outcomes, in adult patients with either asthma or COPD during stable state. Secondary Objectives: To identify genetic and other omics patterns to develop phenotype handprints for adults with either asthma or COPD. To characterize the airways microbiome in stable patients with either asthma or COPD and identify correlation with clinical phenotypes and/or endotypes.
Underdiagnosis and undertreatment is a major problem in childhood asthma management, especially in preschool-aged children. Current prognostic approaches using risk-score based tools have poor-to-modest accuracy, are impractical, and have limited evidence of efficacy in clinical settings and hence are not widely used in practice. The objective of the study is to determine the usability, acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of the childhood asthma passive digital marker (PDM) among pediatricians. The study will include practicing pediatricians within the IU Health Network.
The goal of this pilot interventional study is to learn about the implementation of a home monitoring program (using remote study visits and lung function testing) in children with asthma. The main questions to answer are: 1. Do participants find the program to be feasibile, acceptable and accessible? 2. What factors are associated with completion of the program? 3. Does the program have an effect on asthma control and daytime sleepiness?
This trial aims to evaluate novel diagnostic technologies for asthma in 3 different pathways providing the necessary evidence-base to allow adoption into clinical practice: - Pathway 1 evaluates whether the technology can distinguish between people with asthma and healthy volunteers, and other respiratory conditions in a well characterised secondary-care population and whether the parameters they measure correlate with the current standard diagnostic tests; - Pathway 2 assesses whether the technology can accurately diagnose asthma (either independently or alongside current diagnostic tests) in a primary care population of patients where there is a clinical suspicion of asthma; - Pathway 3 explores the ability of the technology to identify clinically important phenotypic characteristics which are difficult to measure in primary care and/or significantly impact on patient management and treatment The novel technology and devices will be entered into the pathway most suited to their stage of development, with this study design also allowing information collected for participants with a confirmed diagnosis of asthma in pathways 1 or 2 to be included in pathway 3. Participants will undergo the investigations currently used to diagnose asthma as well as using the novel devices being investigated in the relevant pathway.
The long-term goal is to implement an evidence-based asthma intervention based on the Center for Disease Control's recommended framework (EXHALE) within Baltimore City Public Schools (BCPS). As part of a stepped wedge pragmatic trial the investigators will: 1. Evaluate the effectiveness of a tailored implementation plan of Asthma CHAMPS in 32 Baltimore city elementary schools to reduce asthma disparities. 2. Conduct a pragmatic trail using a stepped wedge design to evaluate implementation of a school and home asthma intervention program to reduce asthma-related absences, healthcare utilization and exacerbations and improve asthma control, among children enrolled in 32 Baltimore City elementary schools. 3. Use qualitative methods (observation and semi structured interviews) to obtain stakeholder feedback (parents, community health workers, school personnel and administrators) on impact of Asthma CHAMPS, identify potential refinements in intervention and implementation strategies, and evaluate impact of local adaptation and fidelity on implementation success and sustainability.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Omalizumab produced by CinnaGen compared with Xolair® (Genentech, Inc., USA And Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp, Switzerland) in subjects with uncontrolled Moderate to Severe Allergic Asthma All the participants will receive one of the following regimens: Omalizumab (CinnaGen) or Xolair® (Genentech, Inc., USA And Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp, Switzerland), as subcutaneous injections, Omalizumab was administered every 2 or 4 weeks to provide a dose of at least 0.016 mg/kg/IgE for a duration of 28 weeks The primary objective of this study is to assess whether the efficacy of Omalizumab (CinnaGen, Iran) is equivalent to Xolair® (Genentech, Inc., USA and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp, Switzerland) as measured by rate of protocol-defined asthma exacerbations during the 28-week treatment period
