Filter by:The study protocol is part of the European (EU) project "Knowledge for improving indoor AIR quality and HEALTH" (K-HEALTHinAIR, 2022-2026 - registry 101057693), which focuses on enhancing our understanding of how poor indoor air quality (IAQ) affects human health. Specifically, the project aims to identify IAQ determinants of adverse health events and to explore the development of cost-effective strategies for the precise monitoring and improvement, of IAQ across Europe. With the current study protocol, the Barcelona Pilot, at the Integrated Health District of Barcelona-Esquerra (AISBE, 520 k citizens), is conducting a cohort study over a two-year period (January 2024 to December 2025) to explore the relationships between IAQ (assessment of chemical pollutants in patients' homes) and health status (acute episodes) in multimorbid patients with chronic respiratory diseases (asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - COPD) over a two-year period. The protocol investigates the effectiveness of customized interventions across four critical areas: i) Advanced lung function testing, ii) Continuous IAQ monitoring, iii) Advanced digital support to innovative clinical processes, and iv) Predictive modeling for early identification and management of exacerbations. The ultimate objective is to design and evaluate an innovative integrated care service aiming at enhancing both IAQ and the management of multimorbid patients with chronic obstructive respiratory diseases, with focus on COPD and severe asthma.
The goal of this clinical trial] is to evaluate the long term safety of dexpramipexole treatment in participants with severe asthma, aged ≥12 years, on Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) 2021 [GINA, 2021] Step 4 or 5 therapy and who completed either of the Phase III studies EXHALE-2 or EXHALE-3.
The Nav-Team study reviews how well the asthma navigators/coordinator program can improve the lives of asthmatic children, and their caregivers, by providing additional assistance and education. Aim 1 of the study will partner with immigrant serving community organizations to hold meetings that will help tailor the programs. Aim 2 of the study looks at data to help see if the program is working to help children and their caregivers. Aim 2a looks at difference in emergency department use between families that did not use the Nav-Team program and those that did. Aim 2b reviews how well the Nav-Team program did with reaching and connecting with the asthma child and caregiver community. Aim 2b, also reviews the costs of the program, how well the program did will sticking to the program goals, and how well the staff was able to keep up with providing education and help.
The goal of this interventional study is to examine the effect of asthma flare-up clinic follow-up in adult subjects after an asthma flare-up. This study aim to answer the following questions: 1. Does a follow-up in a flare-up clinic improves disease outcomes? 2. Does a follow-up in a flare-up clinic improves disease management? Participants in the intervention group will take part in a structured follow-up at the asthma flare-up clinic at three time points. Each visit will include questionnaires, pulmonologist examination and consultation, laboratory tests and spirometry. The control group will undergo phone-call follow-up with a research coordinator in similar time frames as the intervention. Researchers will compare the two groups to see if the clinic follow-up affects the study outcomes.
COMPARISON OF EFFICACY OF HYDROCORTISONE AND METHYLPREDNISOLONE IN ACUTE SEVERE ASTHMA In this study Investigator will compare the efficacy of hydrocortisone and methyl prednisolone in acute severe asthma that will lead to final result and beneficial effects that will help in early resoloution of symptoms and help in preventing recurrence
The study is a single-center, observational design with a 12-month duration. Approximately 100 Chinese adult (18-65 years old) and adolescent (12-17 years old) with moderate to severe house dust mite (HDM) allergic rhinitis (AR) with or without allergic asthma (AA) who are newly prescribed ACARIZAX® will be recruited for evaluation of the relevance of measurement instruments. The instruments referred to three patient-report scales of allergic rhinitis symptom and quality-of-life including the Daily symptom score (DSS), Standardised rhinoconjunctivitis quality-of-life questionnaire [RQLQ(S)], and Visual analogue scale (VAS). Other data will be collected to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ACARIZAX® under real-world clinical practices.
The main purpose of this study is to look at whether clinicians and their patients with asthma can satisfactorily perform remote asthma management at home (not visiting clinic) by using an artificial intelligence tool called Asthma-Guidance and Prediction System combined with a home monitoring device called AsthmaTuner.
In this pilot study investigators will test the hypothesis that administration of oral probiotics modulates microbiome/metabolome, lowers leptin and insulin resistance and improves clinical parameters of asthma in obese insulin resistant asthmatics. Preliminary studies with oral probiotic administration in obese asthmatics showed increased abundance of probiotics-derived Bifidobacterium species and Bifidobacterium-derived metabolite in the airways of asthmatics. Additionally, neutrophils and IL-17 producing Th17 cells were significantly reduced following probiotics administration. Based on these preliminary studies, the investigators propose to test the following aims: Specific Aim 1: Determine if probiotic administration modulates airway microbiome/metabolome in obese insulin resistant asthmatics Specific Aim 2: Determine if modulation of leptin levels and insulin sensitivity by probiotics administration correlates with airway metabolome alterations and weight loss in obese insulin resistant asthmatics Specific Aim 3: Determine if microbiome/metabolome changes in probiotics group correlates with changes in asthma biomarkers and improved clinical outcomes compared to placebo in obese insulin resistant asthmatics.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease that affects people of all ages and of both sexes. It is a common disease and is present in 8-10 % of the population. Despite drug treatment, many patients have poor control of their asthma with an impact on quality of life and restriction of daily activities. The purpose of this study in primary care is to investigate if measurement of airway inflammation (FeNO) can improve the treatment results and the overall care of adult patients with asthma. The main question in the study is whether the use of FeNO measurements can reduce the number of deterioration periods. The study is conducted under real clinical conditions where the effect of the intervention is measured (pragmatic intervention study). Eight to twelve primary health care centers with functional asthma / COPD clinics are selected within the Stockholm County and are randomly assigned to two groups with four to six primary health care centers each, an active group and a control group (cluster randomization). Instruments for FeNO measurements are made available to the active group and this group is also trained on FeNO measurements and how the value should be interpreted and used to control the treatment, while the control group continues to take care of their asthma patients as usual. The study can lead to improved treatment decisions and patients gaining an increased understanding of their asthma by being informed on the actual degree of inflammation in the airways. Optimized treatment can provide better asthma control with increased quality of life and fewer periods of deterioration, which results in reduced burden on healthcare and lower costs for patients and society.
In this Study i'll compare the effectiveness of two drugs used in acute exacerbation of asthma by their sideffects, complaince and improvement in the PRAM score. The better one would be adapted in our clinical practice.
