Filter by:This study compared an in-home asthma management program provided by nurses or respiratory therapists to see if those receiving program had fewer hospitalizations, clinic and emergency room visits and higher levels of satisfaction and health related quality of life.
This study has the objective of providing compassionate use access to omalizumab (Xolair) and to evaluate the Safety of Xolair in subjects with severe allergic asthma who remain symptomatic despite optimal therapy according to GINA step 4 treatment guidelines.
A study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of inhaled Montelukast (MK-0476) in participants with mild or moderate asthma.
Asthma is a long-term disease process with genetic, allergic, environmental, infectious, emotional and dietary influences. The symptoms control are mainly using an inhaled drug, avoiding triggers or taking preventive medicine. Although side effects are unlikely at low dose of the asthma treatment, they have become apparent at the higher dose. Due to safety concern, parents often turn to complementary and alternative medicine which they believe is natural and safe and may help to reduce the conventional medication dosage. There are number of reports that treatment with traditional Chinese herbs or formulas resulted in significant improvement in lung function and reduction in the airway hyper-reactivity reaction. Our study drug CUF2, was based on a classical formulae and had been proven to have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities in laboratory and animal studies. With the pre-clinical evidence, this study aims to determine the effect of CUF2 on improving the clinical symptoms, biochemical markers, and requirement of steroid dosage among children with asthma.
This is a 2-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study comparing the anti-inflammatory effects of low, medium, and high dose mometasone furoate/formoterol fumarate (MF/F) metered dose inhaler (MDI) formulation and medium dose mometasone furoate (MF) dry powder inhaler (DPI) and MDI formulations in adults and adolescents with persistent allergic asthma.
This 12-week clinical study evaluates the safety and efficacy of Albuterol Sulfate HFA Inhalation Aerosol (Albuterol-HFA, or: A004), Armstrong's proposed HFA formulation of metered dose inhaler (MDI) of Albuterol (Treatment T), in comparison with: 1. Placebo control: (HFA propellant only, Treatment P); and 2. Active control: 3M/Key's Proventil-HFA (Treatment R). The treatments will be given as self-administered oral inhalations in adult and adolescent patients with mild-to-moderate asthma, for 12-weeks. Dosing regimen throughout the 12-week study is two actuations four times daily (QID).
This study will look for a relationship between asthma and factors released from the lungs in exhaled breath. If a relationship can be established, the identified factors may be used as biomarkers to predict episodes of increased asthma symptoms so that medications can be given to prevent the onset of an asthma attack. Healthy volunteers and people who have had asthma for at least 1 year may be eligible for this study. Candidates must be between 18 and 75 years of age. Participants undergo blood tests and breathing tests. For the latter, participants breathe into a machine before and after inhaling an asthma medication called albuterol. The machine measures the volume of air the subject can breathe out. Participants also provide a sample of exhaled breath by breathing normally for up to 30 minutes while wearing a mask devised for the procedure. Pulse rate, oxygen saturation and wheezing are monitored during the breath collection.
This clinical study will evaluate and establish the protective effects of Amphastar's Albuterol Sulfate HFA Inhalation Aerosol (Albuterol-HFA), in preventing exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in adolescent and adult asthmatic patients, in comparison with (1) Proventil®-HFA (Reference drug and Active Control ), and (2) Placebo-HFA control (HFA propellant only). Safety of the test drug, Albuterol-HFA, will also be evaluated in comparison to the Active and Placebo Controls. Analyses will be performed to determine if the Armstrong's Albuterol-HFA has resulted in a significant bronchoprotective effect, with attenuated Max % Fall in FEV1, in comparison to the Placebo-HFA control.
The specific aim of this proposed project is to implement a standard process for integrating MedlinePlus health information prescriptions into the clinic workflow. Hypothesis 1: Individuals in the intervention group who receive tailored email health information with provider selected MedlinePlus links and added commentary for patient specific conditions will be more likely to seek information / use MedlinePlus compared with individuals in the control group. Hypothesis 2: Individuals in the intervention group who receive tailored email health information with provider selected MedlinePlus links and added commentary for patient specific conditions will be more satisfied with the information received compared with individuals in the control group.
This 4-week clinical study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Albuterol Sulfate HFA Inhalation Aerosol in comparison with the Active Control, Proventil-HFA (3M Pharmaceuticals, Inc) in pediatric patients (4-11 years old) with mild-to-moderate asthma. In addition, pharmacokinetic profile in this population will be evaluated using a population PK approach with sparse blood samples.
