NHLBI/NICHD Collaborative Studies of Asthma in Pregnancy
AsthmaLung DiseasesTo conduct a collaborative program of research on asthma and pregnancy consisting of two studies: the Asthma in Pregnancy Study (APS) was an observational study to evaluate relationships between asthma severity and treatment programs and perinatal outcome, and the Asthma Therapy in Pregnancy Trial (ATPT) was a randomized clinical trial of inhaled beclomethasone versus theophylline in the treatment of moderate asthma during pregnancy. Both studies were conducted in the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Unit (MFMU) Network, an ongoing group of participating obstetric centers supported by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Studies were co-funded by the NHLBI.

Cockroach Immunotherapy in Children and Adolescents
Persistent AsthmaScientific evidence has shown that, over the past two decades, the combination of cockroach allergy and cockroach exposure is one of the most important factors contributing to the dramatic increase in asthma morbidity seen in inner city children with asthma. Therefore, a major goal of the Inner City Asthma Consortium (ICAC) is to evaluate the efficacy of cockroach immunotherapy in inner city asthma. The primary objective of the study is to determine if the response to nasal allergen challenge (NAC) will be changed with treatment with cockroach subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) treatment.

Ideal Steroids for Asthma Treatment in the PICU
Asthma ChildhoodDetermine if differences in (1) pediatric intensive care unit length of stay, (2) continuous nebulized albuterol duration, and (3) a composite outcome of advanced asthma therapy incidence including use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV), terbutaline, inhaled helium and mechanical ventilation between cohorts of children admitted with status asthmaticus to the PICU treated with either IV dexamethasone (DM) or methylprednisolone (MP).

Dupilumab on Airway Hyper-responsiveness and Ventilation Heterogeneity in Patients With Asthma....
AsthmaIn asthmatics with airway hyperresponsiveness and a "T2 immune signature" (type 2), Dupilumab will suppress airway hyperresponsiveness (assessed by methacholine PC20 ≤ 4 mg/mL (PC20: provocative concentration causing a 20% fall in FEV1) OR ≥15% decreased in forced expired volume in 1 second (FEV1) during saline inhalation for sputum induction OR ≥25% improvement in FEV1 after bronchodilator) and airway eosinophilia (assessed by sputum eosinophils) and this will be associated with greater asthma control and improved ventilation heterogeneity.
