Filter by:The primary study objective is to generate evidence as to the feasibility, usability, perceived value, and potential benefits of implementing the AMAZE™ platform into clinical practice.
Background: Asthma is a heterogeneous respiratory disease and the most common chronic disease in children. A small subset of children has continuous poor asthma control despite appropriate adherence to asthma medication. There is a clinical need to identify these children as early as possible to optimize treatment and/or to find therapeutic alternatives. Therefore, the "Systems Pharmacology approach to uncontrolled Pediatric Asthma" (SysPharmPediA) study was set up. Objective: To establish a cohort of pediatric moderate-to-severe uncontrolled and controlled patients with asthma in order to investigate pathophysiological mechanisms underlying uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma in children on maintenance treatment, using a multi-omics systems medicine approach. Methods: In this multicenter observational case-control study, moderate-to-severe asthmatic children (n=145, age 6-17 years), were included in specialized hospitals in four European countries (Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Slovenia). Recruited subjects were selected based on good asthma control (controlled asthmatics, n=54) or poor asthma control / recurrent exacerbations (uncontrolled asthmatics, n=91). Comprehensive details concerning demographics, current and past patient/family history and clinical characteristics were collected. In addition, systems-wide omics layers, including epi(genomics), transcriptomics, microbiome, proteomics and metabolomics will be evaluated from multiple collected, relatively non-invasive, samples of from the recruited individuals, such as: blood, feces, saliva, nasal swabs and exhaled breath. Follow-up visits were performed 6 and 12 months after inclusion.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single dose escalation phase 1 study. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of subcutaneous administered SHR-1703 in healthy subjects.
This is a retrospective observational study drawing on data from the Brigham and Women's Home Hospital database. Sociodemographic and clinic data from a training cohort were used to train a machine learning algorithm to predict the likelihood of 30-day readmission throughout a patient's admission. This algorithm was then validated in a validation cohort.
To compare the pharmacokinetics of budesonide delivered by BDA MDI to budesonide delivered by Pulmicort Respules in children with Asthma aged 4 to 8 years.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of TEV-53275 administered subcutaneously (sc) in adult participants with persistent asthma and an eosinophilic phenotype compared to placebo. A secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of TEV-53275 compared to placebo assessed by lung function, asthma symptoms, rescue medication use, and quality of life measures. Another secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TEV-53275 administered sc in adult participants with persistent asthma and an eosinophilic phenotype compared with placebo, and lastly, to evaluate the immunogenicity of TEV-53275 administered sc in adult participants with persistent asthma and an eosinophilic phenotype.
To identify asthma-related physiological changes observed by wearable devices in real-world conditions by monitor multiple sensing modalities (e.g., heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), activity level, spirometry, coughing sounds) in order to find reliable signatures of impending asthma exacerbation and systematically explore any challenges on the use of wearable technologies.
Single ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of CM326 in healthy volunteers.
The budesonide / formoterol combination can be used both as a maintenance treatment and as a maintenance and relief therapy (MART) where in the latter there is also anti-inflammatory action in contrast to the use of SABA. This anti-inflammatory and soothing effect has been recognized by the Global Initiatives for Asthma (GINA) guidelines and is recommended as a palliative treatment for all types of asthma severity versus Short Acting Beta Agonists (SABA). Test results have shown that the invoked budesonide / formoterol combination therapy had a similar (not lower) effect on the annual exacerbation rate, with lower exposure to ICS compared to regular maintenance therapy with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), although budesonide / formoterol therapy appeared to was inferior to ongoing asthma control. Another study showed no inferiority of the stable budesonide / formoterol combination compared to maintenance ICS plus the required SABA dosing regimen in reducing the annual severe exacerbation rate in patients with mild asthma. Patients receiving budesonide / formoterol as adjunctive therapy or as maintenance therapy experienced a reduced incidence of exacerbations including asthma-related SAEs, compared with patients receiving long acting beta agonists (LABAs) or SABAs as sedatives, ICS or ICS / LA terbutaline or salbutamol. Studies have shown that patients spent more days without palliative care, indicating a significant reduction in reliance on palliative care while improving both disease control and daily functioning and well-being. Asthma symptoms and nocturnal awakening were significantly reduced, and FEV1 levels before and after treatment showed significant improvement in lung function and quality of life as shown by the AQLQ-S questionnaire score. In addition, ICS / LABA therapy as a palliative or maintenance treatment appears to be well tolerated and reduces the risk of severe exacerbations following exposure to high doses of SABA which may mask the worsening of inflammation. The meta-analysis of Rogliani et. al. showed that low dose (LD) to medium dose (MD) ICS / LABA MART was as effective as HD ICS / LABA and SABA as needed treatments in reducing the risk of severe asthma exacerbations and that MART was generally more effective than low dose LD ICS / LABA + as needed LABA or SABA, or ICS / LABA as needed or ICS + as needed SABA treatments. The efficacy of ICS / LABA as needed treatment in the risk of severe exacerbation was significantly higher than ICS + as needed SABA treatment but not ICS / LABA + as needed SABA in patients with mild to severe asthma. LD to MD MART and HD ICS / LABA + as needed SABA were equally effective (P> 0.05) in improving PEF, and more effective (P <0.05) than LD ICS / LABA + as needed SABA or LABA, ICS / LABA as needed, ICS + SABA as needed, and SABA as needed. Administration of ICS / LABA as purely invasive use significantly improved (P <0.05) PEF compared to ICS + SABA as needed, LD ICS / LABA + SABA as needed, and SABA as needed treatments. MART improved lung function and disease control compared to other invasive therapies in patients with moderate asthma. In contrast, in patients with moderate to severe asthma, LD to MD MART was partially more effective than other invasive therapies in improving lung function and controlling asthma. No differences were found in the safety profile which was measured as the risk of occurrence of YOU. The combination of budesonide / formoterol as maintenance therapy and as-needed palliative care could improve overall asthma control without the need for additional palliative care.
In this project, Institute of Bioengineering & Bioimaging (IBB), A*STAR would like to collaborate with Massachusetts General Hospital to aggregate patient data and to further develop its software algorithm using machine learning and statistical models for predicting exacerbations and deterioration on 60 patients with cardiopulmonary diseases.
