Active clinical trials for "Asthma"

The objective of this study is to compare the relative bronchoprotection (at trough) conferred by 2-week chronic dosing with levosalbutamol and racemic salbutamol in mild to moderate asthmatics. Patients will be preselected into two groups on the basis of their beta-2 adrenoreceptor polymorphisms. The investigators will evaluate if this has a differential effect on the bronchoprotection conferred by both formulations of salbutamol, as evidenced by a rebound in airway hyper-responsiveness, in order to determine whether any effect can be explained by the S enantiomer in the racemic formulation.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of 2 inhaled doses of Staccato Loxapine within a day in patients with asthma.

To demonstrate if once-daily dosing of ADVAIR 100/50 once-daily has superior efficacy and comparable safety compared with FP 100mcg once-daily in pediatric subjects 4 to 11 years of age with asthma.

A multi-center, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, repeat dose study in asthma patients with elevated eosinophils. Eligible subjects will receive 3 doses (28 days apart) of mepolizumab given intravenous (IV) or subcutaneously (SC). Blood samples for safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and immunogenicity analysis, as well as safety/tolerability assessments will be collected throughout the study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate, at steady-state, the systemic exposure and the lung deposition of B17MP (active metabolite of BDP) as AUC0-12h,ss and Cmax,ss, after inhalation of BDP (Clenil® Modulite®) with the AeroChamber Plus™ spacer device or with the Volumatic™ spacer device without or with charcoal block.

This study investigated asthma-related quality of life in Brazilian patients using omalizumab.

The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy applied preseasonal and seasonal in ultra-rush scheme in children with bronchial asthma allergic to grass pollen. The investigators will assess clinical symptoms, reliever drugs usage, lung function, chosen markers of allergic inflammation, bronchial hyperreactivity with methacholine, and presence and type of allergy after two years of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) in children with asthma.

We wanted to investigate if it was possible to improve adherence to prescriptions and advice in pre-school children with newly diagnosed asthma. The intervention was intense information and support in the form of four group discussions with the parents of four children in close connection to diagnosing the child. The control children received the usual care with individual polyclinic visits to the physi-cian/nurse. We evaluated the effect with the help of questionnaires, physical examinations, blood tests, lung function tests and control of treatment adherence after 18 months and 6 years.

To investigate the effect and safety of budesonide Turbuhaler® 100 μg/dose and 200 μg/dose twice daily for 6 weeks in Japanese children with bronchial asthma aged 5 years to 15 years old in need for inhaled glucocorticosteroid treatment. To compare the efficacy of budesonide Turbuhaler® 100 μg/dose and 200 μg/dose twice daily for 6 weeks to that of fluticasone Diskus® 50 μg/dose and 100 μg/dose twice daily for 6 week.

This study was designed to assess the safety of indacaterol (300 µg and 600 µg (2 x 300 μg capsules) once daily [od]), compared with salmeterol (50 μg twice a day [b.i.d.]), over 26 weeks, in patients with moderate to severe persistent asthma.
