Filter by:The management of chronic diseases requires a constant monitoring of treatment adherence, in order to obtain an optimal disease control. However, this is often difficult to achieve, especially in pediatric age. In this sense, for asthmatic patients treated by Symbicort Turbohaler, "AstraZeneca" developed the "Turbo+", an electronic device attached to the Turbohaler, which allows to feel whether the patient does the inhalation, and to register it on a specific application. The present randomized trial aims to compare the treatment adherence between asthmatic children/adolescents aged 6-17 years treated with Symbicort Turbohaler plus Turbo+ or Symbicort Turbohaler without Turbo+.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in patients with persistent asthma Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of dupilumab - To evaluate the effect of dupilumab on improving patient reported outcomes including health related quality of life - To evaluate dupilumab systemic exposure and immunogenicity
The majority of asthmatic patients are well controlled by inhaled corticosteroid treatment, however some severe asthma resist this treatment. CCL18 is a target gene for corticosteroids and its dysfunction may correlate with phenotypes of asthma.
The present trial is an exploratory study aiming at evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a 15-day, once daily administration of 10 mg PBF-680 in subjects with persistent, mild-to-moderate atopic asthma.
Title:Impact of vitamin D administration on cardiac autonomic tone in Asthma Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Overlap patients: A blinded randomized control trial. Background: Respiratory disease is closely associated with cardiovascular disease. Reduced Heart Rate Variability (HRV), reflecting impaired autonomic activity have been reported in both asthma and COPD. Vitamin D deficiency is a common feature in Asthma COPD Overlap (ACO) patient. Relationship between vitamin D deficiency and low HRV has been reported. Vitamin D administration has been reported to improve cardiac autonomic modulation in healthy subjects in response to external stressor. Objective: To assess the changes in cardiac autonomic tone after vitamin D administration for 90 days in vitamin D deficient ACO patients. Hypothesis:Null: Vitamin D administration does not have impact on cardiac autonomic tone in vitamin D3 deficient ACO patient. .Method: This randomized controlled trial will be conducted by Department of Physiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Shahbag, Dhaka from September' 2017 to August' 2018. For this study, a total number of 60 subjects (age > 40 years, both male and female) will be randomly selected. 30 diagnosed vitamin D deficient Asthma COPD Overlap (ACO) patients will form group A and another 30 diagnosed vitamin D3 deficient ACO patients with similar age, sex, (Body Mass Index) BMI will constitute control group B. Patients of study group B0 will take vitamin D3 with a prescribed schedule for 3 months and followed up after 3 months (group B90). On the other hand patients of group A1 will be given placebo and followed up after 3 months (group A90). All these patients will continue their medication prescribed by physician during these 3 months. On the basis of data recording - group B1 and group B90 will constitute pre and post vitamin D group whereas group A0 and group A90 will represent pre and post placebo follow up at day 0 and day 90. Cardiac autonomic nerve function will be assessed by recording ECG & Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis by a data acquisition device, powerlab 8/35, AD instruments, Australia. HRV measures of all patients will be recorded at baseline.Then after 3 months of follow up it will be recorded in both groups at day 90. Serum 25(OH)D level will be measured of all subject at day 0 and day 90. For statistical analysis unpaired and paired "t" test will be done by using Microsoft Office Excel Word version 2016
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of masitinib (6 mg/kg/day) in severe persistent asthma, uncontrolled with high dose of inhaled corticosteroid and with elevated eosinophil levels.
It is widely recognized that asthma in adult African American patients is a significant health problem, which is partly affected by relatively low inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) adherence rates. The goal of this study is to pilot test an ICS adherence intervention, ARICA, that aims to improve ICS adherence in adult African Americans.
This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, parallel-group, variable-length study to compare 2 doses of BDA MDI (PT027) with AS MDI (PT007) on the time to first severe asthma exacerbation in adult, adolescent, and pediatric subjects with moderate to severe asthma.
This will be a Phase I, first in human (FIH) study consisting of the following parts: Part 1a (SAD), Part 1b (IV Cohort), Part 2 (Multiple ascending dose (MAD), and Part 3 dry-powder inhalation (DPI)/ Proof of mechanism (PoM). Part 1a of the study will be a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, SAD, sequential group design study performed at a single study center. Part 1b, will be an open-label, single-dose, single-cohort study. It will follow a 2-stage design in the way that participants from Part 1a will be selected for the IV Cohort in Part 1b. Part 2 of the study will be a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, MAD, sequential group design and study performed at 3 study centers. Part 3a/b will be a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, DPI/PoM study. The expected duration of each subject in Part 1a of the study is up to 36 days and up to 53 days for subjects participating in Part 1b. The expected duration of each participant in Part 2 is up to 52 days and Part 3 is up to 55 days.
This study represents the follow-up, age 6-8 years, of children recruited at birth into two cohorts. The first cohort, the Mite Allergen Prevention Study (MAPS) was a double-blind, randomized controlled trial of the use of house dust-mite immunotherapy in the primary prevention of atopy and asthma. The Immune Tolerance in Early Childhood (ITEC) cohort is a separate observational cohort following up infants at high risk of atopy and correlating atopic disease development with epigenetic markers.
