Filter by:The aim of this trial is to determine the efficacy of a combination of two botanicals oils, borage seed oil and echium seed oil, as a potential treatment for bronchial asthma.
This study is investigating how commonly exercise-induced asthma happens in athletes and the best way to diagnose exercise-induced asthma. Exercise-induced asthma describes narrowing of the airways in the lungs that occurs in certain people when they exercise. This can cause shortness of breath, cough, and fatigue during exercise and can impair athletic performance. Exercise-induced asthma can be difficult to diagnose. This is a research study, because the investigators are examining the best way to document a diagnosis of exercise-induced asthma. The investigators are also interested in examining why exercise-induced asthma may occur.
The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness and safety of desloratadine (Aerius) syrup in children with hayfever with or without asthma. Patients took desloratadine syrup once a day for 28 days. Once a week, the doctor measured the patient's hayfever symptoms. The doctor also rated how much relief the patient got from treatment and recorded any side effects.
The objective of this multicenter, single-arm, open-label clinical study is to evaluate the safety of performing bronchial thermoplasty with the Alair® System during two treatment sessions to treat severe asthma.
Treatment of patients insufficiently treated with ICS or ICS + LABA.
A drug (mepolizumab) that reduces allergic inflammation will affect the function of allergy cells called eosinophils which are produced by the body in response to allergen exposure.
A multi-center, Phase IIb, double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, parallel-group, repeated-dose study in male and female patients with moderate to severe asthma in which patients will be stabilized on AEROVANT then doses of inhaled corticosteroids and LABA will be tapered. The hypothesis is that AEROVANT will improve asthma symptom control and decrease the need for inhaled corticosteroids and LABA, thus improving exacerbation incidence compared to placebo. Incidence of asthma exacerbation is the primary endpoint.
The number of infants and children with allergic disease (dermatitis, allergies, asthma) has increased over the last several decades. This may be related to changes in diet. It is now thought that children become sensitised to allergens very early in life maybe even before they are born. Some studies show that a high omega-3 fat intake by mothers decreases risk of sensitisation in their babies. There is a biological mechanism to explain this. Omega-3 fats are found in oily fish like salmon. In the UK pregnant women are recommended to eat oily fish twice per week. However, consumption of oily fish is known to be low in pregnant women in the UK. This study sets out to identify the effects of increasing salmon intake in pregnant women. The hypothesis being investigated is that : increased consumption of oily fish during pregnancy by women at risk of having offspring who will develop atopy will increase their omega-3 fat and antioxidant status and that of their developing baby and will ameliorate the development of atopic markers and manifestations in the infants.
This clinical trial will include healthy volunteers, COPD patients and asthmatic patients who will breathe He/O2 78:22, He/O2 65:35 and medical air consecutively in a randomised order.
The purpose of this study is to determine the percentage of patients who has reached the GINA guideline of asthma treatment after receiving any inhaled corticosteroid for 3 months or longer in actual clinical practice. Such percentage for each level of severity - mild, moderate and severe persistent asthma as well as the differences of these rates will also be explored.
