A non-interventional study to assess the clinical effectiveness of Salmeterol/fluticasone Easyhaler to achieve and maintain asthma or COPD control.
This proposed pilot study will examine the tolerability, feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a gentle yoga intervention "Kids 2 Be & Breathe" (K2B2; a manualized 30 minute gentle yoga and mindfulness session held one-on-one) in urban children aged 7-11 with severe asthma.
Non-interventional study to investigate the safety and tolerability of allergy immunotherapy ACARIZAX® 12 SQ-HDM in real-life clinical practice in adults patients (>18 years) with house dust mite allergy over a period of 12 months.
Background: Asthma affects nearly 10% of American children, and is a leading cause of pediatric emergency visits and hospitalizations. Clinical pathways are operational versions of practice guidelines aimed at the hospital management of common illnesses. Single-site studies of pediatric asthma pathways have shown significant improvements in quality of care. Primary Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of clinical pathways for improving quality of care for children with asthma in a diverse, national sample of emergency department (ED) and hospital settings. Primary Endpoints: 1. Emergency Department: The proportion of eligible children who receive systemic steroids within 60 minutes of ED arrival 2. Inpatient/Hospital: Mean length of hospital stay Study Design: This project will be implemented through an established quality improvement collaborative of hospitals across the United States, the Value in Inpatient Pediatrics Network (part of the American Academy of Pediatrics). A cluster randomized design will be employed. Group 1 hospitals will receive a multifaceted implementation strategy that includes: 1) a pathway implementation toolkit, 2) local multidisciplinary champions in the ED and inpatient settings, 3) audit and feedback, 4) educational seminars, and 5) practice facilitation (via teleconference). Group 2 will receive the same intervention with the addition of a mobile app pathway tool.
Non-adherence to controller medication is a common problem in children with Asthma, resulting in overuse of reliever medication, increased asthma symptoms, more frequent Asthma attacks, and increased emergency room visits and hospital admissions. Additionally, current absence of a gold standard to measure adherence forces clinicians and researchers to rely on patient-self report, which is notoriously inaccurate, to support clinical decision making. Many young patients suffer from both intentional and non-intentional non-adherence, thus an appropriate intervention must address both types. Current studies using electronic monitoring devices (EMDs) primarily focus on non-intentional non-adherence through reminder systems and thus are limited in their ability to engage patients for long-term behavior change. This trial addresses an important knowledge gap by evaluating whether EMDs with a combination of reminder system and patient education can prove to be effective in increasing adherence rates and can be used in clinical practice to achieve better asthma control and outcomes through improved patient and clinician engagement.
The overall goal of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility, implementation, and preliminary efficacy of a technology-assisted stepped care (TASC) adherence-promotion intervention in adolescents with asthma. Preliminary efficacy will be demonstrated by improved adherence to daily inhaled corticosteroids as measured by Propeller Health electronic monitoring devices. The TASC intervention will result in improved disease severity measured by the Composite Asthma Severity Index (combining dose of asthma medication required, asthma symptom burden, and frequency of exacerbations and health care utilization) and lung function as measured by mobile spirometry. The TASC adherence-promotion intervention implementation will be successful as evidenced by high levels of feasibility (e.g., attendance), acceptability (20 item Acceptability Questionnaire), and usability (10 item Usability Scale).
Subjects who completed either D5180C00007 or D5180C00009 will be offered the opportunity to consent for the Multicentre, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group, Phase 3, Safety Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Tezepelumab in Adults and Adolescents with Severe Uncontrolled Asthma. The study consists of a treatment phase, followed by a follow-up phase where subjects will not receive IP. The length of the follow up phase is determined by which study the subject had previously completed.
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study to study whether there are potential benefits of consuming ginger by individuals with asthma.
The health benefits of physical activity (PA) are well documented and include improving in cardiovascular, obesity, mental health and all-cause mortality. Although higher levels of activity in patients with asthma are also associated with better outcomes, patients still avoid physical activity due to concern about exacerbating their asthma symptoms by the exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), sustaining a vicious cycle of inactivity and worse asthma control. Many studies have reported the benefits of supervised exercise training on several asthma outcomes, such as exacerbations, asthma control, cardiopulmonary fitness, airway inflammation and psychosocial symptoms; however, the translation of the improvements in the exercise capacity into increments in PA levels is less evident and still controversial. Therefore, the hypothesis of this study is that behavioural interventions using strategies based on well-established psychosocial models are effective in increasing physical activity levels and decrease sedentary behaviour in adults with asthma, which will be associated with improvements in the asthma control.
