Filter by:The aim of this non-interventional study is to ensure that patients in routine clinical practice follow given treatment instructions and to evaluate the number of reliever inhalations as well as the number of patient/days with more than 8/12 total inhalations at any day. If the number of reliever inhalations and thus the received inhaled glucocorticosteroid dose is not excessive, the safety conclusions from the clinical studies can be extrapolated to real life for better acceptance of SMART (Symbicort Maintenance and Reliever Therapy).
Asthma is a common, long-term disease that is caused by inflammation of the airways. Inflammation also plays a role in obesity and may affect the way a person responds to asthma medication. This study will examine the relationship between obesity and inflammation and the effect they have on response to corticosteroid asthma medications.
In a private practice setting typical for ambulatory medicine in Germany, asthma staging according to the GINA guidelines will be correlated with "real life" treatment and self management of adult outpatients suffering from asthma. Attitudes concerning adherence, awareness, interest in shared decision making and knowledge about the disease are assessed.
This study is designed to evaluate the bronchodilatory efficacy of indacaterol maleate 500 μg/mometasone furoate 400 μg via the Twisthaler® device in adult patients with persistent asthma.
The aim of the project is to study pathogenetic mechanisms in severe asthma and compare those mechanisms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in order to test the hypothesis that severe asthma and COPD develop into similar chronic degenerative changes.
The purpose of this study is to examine the blood levels of two doses of MAP0010 (a corticosteroid) and two doses of an approved corticosteroid in adult asthma and safety with twice daily dosing over 7 days.
The researchers propose to study the airways of asthmatics given TPI ASM8 for 14 days, and examine the protective effects on allergen-induced bronchoconstriction, hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation.
Rational: The possible contribution of methacholine challenge test via spirometry to the clinical diagnosis of young children with various respiratory symptoms, the most appropriate spirometry index, and the proper cutoff point concentration that will define airway sensitivity have not yet been explored. Objectives: To assess airway reactivity by spirometry in a large group of children aged 3-6years with various respiratory symptoms.
Subjects will attend the unit for out-patient visits on Day 1, Day 7, Day 14 and Day 15 of each treatment period. The washout period between each treatment period will be a minimum of 10 days and maximum of 28 days. Subjects will participate in 3 treatment periods.
GW870086X is a novel inhaled steroid that has an improved safety profile over other steroids but is also less potent. This study will look at higher doses to confirm the improved safety profile.
