Filter by:Hypothesis- Omalizumab(humanized monoclonal anti-IgE antibody)improves disease control and reduces bronchial mucosal inflammation in non-atopic asthma. In order to test the above hypothesis, the investigators propose a placebo controlled, double blind, parallel group study to obtain proof of principle that omalizumab exerts beneficial effects on disease control in non-atopic severe adult asthmatics aged 18-60 years . Forty patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive omalizumab or matching placebo. Following 12 weeks of treatment with omalizumab/placebo, and as this treatment is continued for a further 8 weeks, anti-asthma treatment will be reduced. Dosages will be administered at 4 or 2 weekly intervals over a 16 week period (5 or 10 doses in total), which corresponds with the time stated as necessary to judge efficacy of therapy according to omalizumab's licensed indications in atopic asthma. Efficacy will be judged by clinical monitoring and by bronchial biopsy to assess effects on bronchial inflammation and local IgE production.
The purpose of the trial is to asses the efficacy and safety of sublingual annual immunotherapy in children with bronchial asthma and/or allergic rhinitis allergic to house dust mites.
The hypothesis of this study is that the onset of rapid bronchodilatory effect of inhaled Formoterol (12 microgram) is comparable to that of inhaled salbutamol (200 microgram) i.e., the difference in mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) between the 2 groups at 1, 5, 10, 30 and 60 minutes will be less than 10% in children between 5-15 years with mild acute exacerbation of asthma.
The aim of this trial is to determine the efficacy of a combination of two botanicals oils, borage seed oil and echium seed oil, as a potential treatment for bronchial asthma.
