Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate dexpramipexole as an add-on oral therapy in participants with inadequately controlled eosinophilic asthma to evaluate improvements in lung function, asthma control, and quality of life. In addition, the study will further evaluate the safety and tolerability of dexpramipexole in participants with eosinophilic asthma.
An open-label, single-arm, non-interventional, prospective, multicenter study involving primary data collection within real-world settings for patients who receive benralizumab for treatment of severe uncontrolled eosinophilic asthma
A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of benralizumab administered subcutaneously in patients ≥ 6 to < 18 years of age with severe eosinophilic asthma, including a well-documented history of asthma exacerbations and uncontrolled asthma receiving high-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus at least one additional controller medication.
This study aims to generate real-world data on the characteristics of patients receiving benralizumab to assess early PRO parameters as well as long-term treatment effects in the Gulf cooperative council (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Qatar), Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia), and India. It is anticipated that the data generated will provide practical, patient-focused real-world evidence and enhance communications between patients and physicians in an objective and structured manner to ensure better disease control in patients under benralizumab treatment.
This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of 610 as an adjunctive therapy in adult subjects with severe eosinophilic asthma.
This study will assess the effects of benralizumab on airway dynamics in severe eosinophilic asthma in terms of quantitative computed tomography (CT)-derived measurements of pulmonary structure and function using the Functional Respiratory Imaging (FRI) platform.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of 610 as an adjunctive therapy in adult subjects with severe eosinophilic asthma.
Severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA) is associated with poor disease control and compromised health-related quality of life (HRQoL), leading to a substantial psychosocial and economic disease burden. Benralizumab (Fasenra®), an interleukin (IL)-5-alpha receptor monoclonal antibody, is approved as an add-on maintenance treatment for SEA. This study aims at collecting real-world data that extend beyond the clinical effectiveness of benralizumab to the participant-reported impact of treatment on their HRQoL, sleep quality, depression, anxiety, work productivity and activity impairment, but also on treatment effectiveness. Recent technological advances in portable spirometers and wearable activity trackers (WAT) to increase physical activity for participants with asthma, even for older participants, allow this study to collect data on lung function parameters and physical activity from such devices for the first time at a country level in Greece. Using a multi-aspect approach, this study will generate real-world evidence on a broad range of both well-established clinical and novel patient-centered outcomes which are critical to the assessment of the therapeutic benefit both from the physician's and the participant's perspective. All main study outcomes will be examined at various timepoints throughout the course of the 48-week observation period, starting as early as 4 weeks after treatment initiation, thus enabling the identification of 'early' treatment responders with a closer focus on patients' physical and psychological well-being and HRQoL in addition to asthma control and lung function metrics
Severe asthma is a debilitating condition associated with frequent symptoms, life-threatening exacerbations and corticosteroid side-effects. Exercise limitation due to exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, dynamic lung hyperinflation and comorbidity may be a strong determinant of the disease burden. Mepolizumab is a monoclonal anti-interleukin-5 (IL-5) antibody that reduces the rate of severe exacerbations, asthma symptoms and oral glucocorticoid requirement, and improves quality of life and work productivity in severe eosinophilic asthma. However, its impact on physical activity and exercise tolerance is unknown. We hypothesize that a 6-month treatment with mepolizumab is associated with an improvement in daily life physical activity and exercise tolerance in relation with enhanced ventilatory mechanics.
Around 1/3 of patients with COPD have elevated eosinophil levels. However, the role of eosinophils in COPD has not been yet understood and is probably different in COPD and in asthma. The aim of this study was to assess the expression of selected surface markers on eosinophils and to assess the gene expression in eosinophils in COPD and asthma patients. We are planning to enrol 12 COPD, 12 asthma and 12 control subjects. Patients will undergo routine clinical assessment, spirometry, blood sampling and sputum induction. Eosinophils will be isolated from blood and sputum. Surface markers on eosinophils will be assessed in flow cytometry, gene expression will be assessed by RNAseq.
