Filter by:The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of Foster 100/6mg NEXThaler versus Foster 100/6mg pMDI in terms of pulmonary function in asthmatic patients, as well as the effect of the test treatments in terms of additional lung function parameters and clinical outcome measures. The purpose is also to assess the safety and tolerability.
The primary objective of the study is to measure the effect of mepolizumab on declines in oral corticosteroid therapy (prednisolone or prednisone) in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that affects 5 to 10% of adults and children. Despite current treatments that are often effective, 10% of patients are not controlled by inhaled therapies. These severe asthma require regular use of systemic corticosteroids in 30 to 40% of cases. In this context, the use of glucocorticoids is associated with many more or less serious adverse effects, but still affecting the patient's quality of life. Several treatments have already been proven to save systemic steroids (theophylline, anti-leukotrienes, golimumab ...). On the other hand, none is currently recommended because of a risk / benefit ratio that is too high. Mepolizumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to and inactivates interleukin 5. It has recently been shown to be effective in reducing the daily dose of oral corticosteroids and in reducing exacerbations in these patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. It also reduces the number of eosinophils in the blood and sputum and improves the quality of life. Patients will receive a subcutaneous injection of 100mg mepolizumab every 4 weeks for one year, for a total of 12 injections. In France, this treatment was subject to a Temporary Authorization for Nominative Use in severe eosinophilic asthma and is reserved for hospital use. The injections will be done in HDJ Pneumology CHU Grenoble Alpes and patients will be followed monthly during injections and one month after the end of injections.
A multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group comparative Phase II clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of different doses of XC8 vs Placebo in patients with partly controlled bronchial asthma receiving stable treatment with low doses of inhaled corticosteroids with or without long-acting beta2-agonists during 12-weeks treatment period. Study design was developed by Pharmenterprises LLS, Russia in cooperation with Eurrus Biotech GmbH, Austria and FGK Clinical Research GmbH, Germany. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of different doses of XC8 on change in pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (% of predicted value) at Week 12 as compared to baseline at Week 0 vs. Placebo in patients with partly controlled bronchial asthma (BA).
Purpose: To determine the efficacy of 1400 mg gamma tocopherol-enriched supplement for mitigating inhaled wood smoke particle-induced airway inflammation in healthy adults with no more than mild asthma.
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase I clinical study of the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of XC8 after single and repeated oral administration in healthy volunteers. The volunteers received the study drug once, and then continued daily intake for 14 days after a 6-day break. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability profile for XC8 after single and multiple administration based on the frequency and severity of adverse events and changes in vital signs, laboratory results, electrocardiography and results of the physical examination. The secondary objective of the study was to assess pharmacokinetics of XC8.
This study is a Phase 1, first in human (FiH) study, consisting of 3 parts (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3) in healthy male and female participants of non-childbearing potential, performed at a single study center. Part 1 of this study will be a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) in healthy male and female participants of non-childbearing potential. Six dose levels of AZD8154 are planned to be investigated. Depending on emerging data, 1 to 2 additional dose levels may be added at the discretion of the Sponsor. Furthermore, one dose level will be repeated using the same formulation of AZD8154 but with a larger particle size (Part 1 only). Part 2 of this study will be a single cohort, open-label, 2-period, study to compare a single inhaled dose of AZD8154 (small particle size) nebuliser suspension with a single IV dose of AZD8154. Part 3 will be a single blind placebo controlled, multiple ascending doses (MAD) sequential design study in healthy male and/or female subjects of non childbearing potential conducted at a single center. Part 3:Three (3) inhaled dose levels of AZD8154 are planned to be investigated. Depending on the emerging data, up to 2 additional inhaled dose levels may be added at the discretion of the Sponsor.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent and reversible episodes of airway obstruction. Drug treatment usually includes inhaled corticosteroids and bronchial dilators, which often do not have adequate adherence. These acute episodes of bronchoconstriction can most often occur with hyperinflation and for decades the mechanisms that lead to hyperinflation have been studied, as well as increasingly modern ways of evaluating and treating these mechanisms. Noninvasive ventilation is increasingly occupying its space as a non-pharmacological resource in the treatment of asthma, initially as an adjunct in an attempt to help medication have its effect reached in the crisis, but this feature has been showing signs of having an even greater action which can even collaborate in reversing the crisis by not only giving time for pharmacological action. Recognizing these potential effects of this widely used resource and understanding its action on lung function and the reversal of exacerbation is part of this scientific process.
This study was designed as retrospective chart review to test our hypothesis whether there are the differences in inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators between asthmatic and ACOS patients with small airway obstruction, and COPD
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate budesonide levels in the blood following inhalation of single doses of VR647 Inhalation Suspension in children with wheezing, reactive airway disease or mild asthma using a nebulizer, the VR647 Inhalation System. Secondary objectives include the evaluation of the safety and tolerability of VR647 Inhalation Suspension administered using the VR647 Inhalation System. The study consists of four visits; a screening visit (Visit 1), two dosing days (Visits 2 and 3) and a follow-up visit (Visit 4). On each dosing day a single dose of treatment will be administered. Treatment allocation at Visits 2 and 3 is determined by a balanced incomplete block design.
Patients presenting to the emergency department with acute asthma exacerbation will be assigned to peak-expiratory flow rate (PEFR) guided management and non-PEFR guided management.
