Filter by:This is a study to establish the equivalence of OT329 Solis and Advair Diskus when administered by inhalation in patients with asthma.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether reducing indoor exposure to NO2 and particles improves respiratory health in children with asthma.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety profile of benralizumab administration in asthma patients who have completed one of the three predecessor studies: D3250C00017, D3250C00018 or D3250C00020.
Asthmatic children age 3-17 from low income households in King County are randomly assigned into a community health worker (CHW) intervention group and a control group. The intervention is in-home education and support related to asthma self-management. The main outcome measures are asthma symptom-free days, caretaker's asthma-related quality of life score, and health care utilization for asthma measured at baseline and 12 months after baseline enrollment.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether comprehensive care enhanced with new technology to optimize asthma care in the home (using both a special sensor to track inhaler use and a hand-held PIKO-1 device to assess patients' forced expiratory volume in the 1st second [FEV1]) is effective in reducing total days when medical treatment is given outside the home (in clinic, emergency department, or hospital) among children with severe asthma receiving comprehensive care.
The purpose of this study is to test whether individualized homeopathic medicines can produce any significant effect beyond placebo in treatment of allergic rhinitis and/or induced bronchial asthma
The purpose of this study is to improve the health of African-American adults who have poorly controlled asthma. The study compares a home-based exposure reduction and asthma control intervention to enhanced in-clinic care that includes a standard clinical appointment as well as information from a detailed exposure history, asthma education, assessment for allergies, and a customized asthma self-management plan developed using motivational interviewing. The interventional group receives enhanced in-clinic care, as well as a customized home-based environmental exposure assessment and multicomponent exposure reduction and asthma control intervention (five home visits over approximately 12 months).
It is increasingly recognised that asthma is not a single disease but that there are many different phenotypes. Much of the work that we have previously carried out has focussed on differentiating children with difficult asthma (those whose asthma control improves with attention to the basics of asthma management such as adherence) from those with severe therapy resistant asthma (ongoing poor control despite high dose treatment and attention to the basics. Our collaborators in Basel, Switzerland have demonstrated that serial measurements of lung function (peak flow) in adults can characterise the severe asthma phenotype and its stability in adults with asthma. We plan to carry out twice daily peak flow measurement sin children with asthma using an electronic peak flow meter. We will analyse peak flow patterns in children with severe therapy resistant asthma (STRA), difficult asthma (DA) and mild to moderate asthma. We will also investigate the relationship between peak flow variations and symptoms, recorded in a daily diary and medication use, recorded by an electronic measuring device which attaches to the child's own inhaler (Smart-inhaler).
This study evaluates the effects of adding on an environmental home intervention to standard asthma medication management on controller medication requirements among children and adolescents with asthma. The investigators hypothesize that the addition of an individually-tailored, multi-faceted Environmental Control Strategy (ECS) to guidelines-based controller medication will result in less controller medication requirement and allergic inflammation than controller medication alone among urban asthmatic children.
Study to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of BIIL 284 BS compared with placebo in patients with asthma
