Children with a chronic condition are at a significantly higher risk for anxiety and depression than those without a chronic condition. Asthma is the most common childhood chronic condition. Children with asthma and co-morbid anxiety and/or depression are at risk of poor health outcomes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a manualized cognitive behavior skills-building intervention on key physical and mental health outcomes in 8 to 12-year old children with persistent asthma and co-morbid anxiety and/or depression. The results of this study will inform a large scale randomized controlled trial to fully test this needed intervention. COPE (Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment), developed by Dr. Melnyk, is a manualized intervention that has been implemented with children, adolescents, and young adults. COPE is a cognitive behavior skills-building program based on cognitive behavior theory. Results from previous studies using COPE have shown consistent decreases in anxiety and depression as well as an increase in healthy lifestyle behaviors in youth with elevated anxiety and depressive symptoms in inner city and rural settings, youth with obesity, and teens experiencing chronic recurrent headaches. However, the COPE program has never been adapted and tested with children who have persistent asthma. This study proposes to test an adaptation of this evidence-based program, "COPE for Asthma," with 8 to 12-year-old children with persistent asthma and elevated anxiety and/or depressive symptoms. COPE for Asthma combines components of asthma education with cognitive behavioral skills. This novel adaptation could fill a gap in research by providing a scalable intervention for this highly vulnerable population.
This is a randomized, controlled study with a 48-week treatment phase to determine the clinical efficacy of temperature controlled laminar flow device (TLA, Airsonett™) in the patients with severe allergic asthma who are withdrawal of omalizumab therapy
Phase 1, 3-part study to assess safety, tolerability and PK of single and multiple doses of itraconazole administered as a dry powder for inhalation (PUR1900) in healthy subjects (parts 1 and 2) and a 2-period crossover study of single doses of itraconazole administered as a dry powder for inhalation (PUR1900) and an oral solution (Sporanox) in adults with mild to moderate, stable asthma (part 3)
Define and characterize the neutrophilic phenotype of severe asthma.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of airways and lungs that results in hyper-reactivity and clinically relevant episodes of wheezing. This study has been designed to assess the correct use and ease of use of the ELLIPTA® DPI in pediatric subjects with asthma. ELLIPTA DPI is easy to use, requires few steps, is consistent in dosing and eliminates the hand-breath co-ordination required for metered dose inhalers (MDIs). Subjects will be stratified by age into two strata: Stratum 1: subjects in the age group of 5 to 7 years and Stratum 2: Subjects in the age group of 8 to 11 years. All subjects will be trained by Health care professionals (HCP) for the correct use of ELLIPTA DPI. Subjects will be given three chances to attempt correct use of ELLIPTA DPI; subsequently, if the subject is not successful, the parent/guardian will be able to help instruct the subject on the correct use of the ELLIPTA DPI, for two more attempts. The subjects who will be enrolled in the study will take placebo ELLIPTA DPI once daily. After 28 days subjects will be randomized in 1:1 to receive a questionnaire (Version A and B). After completion of the questionnaire on ELLIPTA DPI ease of use, subject's ability to use ELLIPTA DPI correctly will be re-assessed. Approximately 219 subjects will be screened to participate in the study. The study will be conducted for 28 days. ELLIPTA is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) group of companies.
This is a proof of concept study designed to assess the effects of a single intravenous dose of etokimab compared to placebo in adult participants with severe eosinophilic asthma. This study will also assess the safety and tolerability of etokimab in adult participants with severe eosinophilic asthma.
This is a multi-centre, randomized, double-blind，placebo parallel-controlled phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CMAB007 (recombinant humanized anti-immunoglobulin E(IgE) monoclonal antibody for injection) to treat asthma patients who remain not adequately controlled despite Med/high ICS plus LABA in China. Following a screening period of up to 2 weeks and run-in period of 4 weeks, randomized patients will enter a 24-week treatment period with CMAB007 or placebo. Efficacy and safety will be assessed at 4-week intervals during the treatment period.
The Children and Young People's Health Partnership (CYPHP) Evelina London model is an innovative, evidence-based approach to reshaping healthcare services in Southwark and Lambeth. The model of care is a complex health services public health intervention aiming to integrate care across organisational and professional boundaries. There is a major focus on improving front line care for all children and young people, and comprehensive proactive care for those with common and long-term conditions such as asthma, epilepsy, eczema, and constipation CYPHP Evelina London model of care is being adopted by the Clinical Commissioning Groups of Southwark and Lambeth as part of routine care. Early roll out of the model has already started. However, due to resource limitations, implementation will occur in phases. In the first phase (~two years), half of GP practices in the Lambeth and Southwark area will implement the full model while others will offer enhanced usual care (EUC). The evaluation team will utilize this staged CCG roll out to evaluate the programme using a cluster randomised controlled trial design. It is expected that all the EUC practices will also adopt the CYPHP model within the next three years. The impact of the CYPHP Evelina London model will be assessed at two levels; at the population level ("Population evaluation") and among CYP with specific conditions ("Tracer condition evaluation"). The tracer condition evaluation will with consent, follow up CYP with tracer conditions (asthma, epilepsy, eczema, constipation) to assess the impact of the new model of care on health service use, quality of care, and child health measures including health-related quality of life. Cost-effectiveness will be assessed for population and tracer conditions.
Obesity is associated with poor asthma control and greater healthcare utilization and costs. In this study the researchers will examine the biologic and behavioral interrelationships between these conditions and their impact on outcomes. Towards this end, the researchers will conduct an observational prospective cohort study of 400 obese asthmatic patients treated at institutions in New York City and Denver, and develop and pilot test educational and counseling modules that take an integrated approach to asthma and obesity self-management support.
