Active clinical trials for "Asthma"

Many individuals with asthma also experience gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which excess stomach acid flows backwards into the esophagus. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of lansoprazole, a medication commonly used to treat GERD in improving asthma control and reducing symptoms in children with poorly controlled asthma.

This open label single blind study will determine the safety of albuterol sulfate dry powder in a novel inhaler by observing for the potential occurrence of reflex bronchial constriction after inhalation of increasing doses of the compound.

This study will involve the use of a new compound, GW642444 that is being developed for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by acting on cells in the lungs, causing some of the muscles around the lungs to relax and open up better (bronchodilation), making breathing easier. When a medicine is made into a form ready to be given to patients, the active ingredient is often prepared with another ingredient called a salt to help make it stable, and inactive ingredients are often added. Inactive ingredients might be used to help a medicine work better, to make it easier to produce the medicine, or to make it easier to get an accurate dose of medicine. In previous studies the study drug has been given as a dry powder containing either the "H" salt (with the inactive ingredient lactose), or containing the "M" salt (with the inactive ingredients lactose and cellobiose octaacetate). The "M" salt form of the study drug has been altered to contain lactose and a new inactive ingredient called magnesium stearate (instead of cellobiose octaacetate). Participants in this study will receive both the "H" salt (GW642444H) and the new "M" salt (GW642444M) containing magnesium stearate. This study will be the first time the new "M" salt form of the study drug will be given to asthmatic patients.

This study is to assess the safety of an investigational drug in children 4 to 11 years of age who have asthma. The subjects will attend 7 clinic visits, of which up to 3 will be in the morning, and have lung function tests performed.

Primary purpose is to assess if IMA-638 is safe and improves asthma in subjects with persistent asthma.

This study was designed to look at safety aspects and effects of repeat inhaled doses of GW870086X in mild asthmatics to develop this drug for its use in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

This study will include the patients who are Japanese children with bronchial asthma aged 5 years to 15 years old and have completed the Phase III study (Study code: D5254C00769) at about 29 centres. To investigate the safety of budesonide Turbuhaler® with a daily dose of 100 µg to 800 µg for 54 weeks treatment including the prior 6 weeks Phase III study (Study D5254C00769, NCT00504062) as compared with conventional therapy in Japanese children with bronchial asthma in need of inhaled glucocorticosteroid treatment.

A study to determine the ability of different doses of PF-610,355 to open the airways in asthmatic patients by comparison with placebo and a marketed drug that also opens the airways in asthmatic patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether providing patient medication adherence information on inhaled corticosteroid use to clinicians will result in improved patient adherence and asthma control.

This study will assess further the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment with omalizumab by extending omalizumab treatment by 1 year for those patients with allergic asthma who successfully completed study CIGE25011E2.
