Active clinical trials for "Asthma"

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, single-dose, 5-treatment, 5-period, 5-way crossover study in pediatric patients with persistent asthma. The primary purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Albuterol Spiromax with that of ProAir HFA in pediatric asthma patients at 2 delivered dose levels equivalent to 90 mcg and 180 mcg of albuterol base.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single doses of LAS190792 administered by inhalation to patients with mild persistent asthma and moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and also to assess the ability of LAS190792 to produce bronchodilation (opening of the airways).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is safe to administer Ragweed-SPIRE to subjects suffering from both ragweed allergy and asthma.

This study is conducted to assess whether training participants on proper use of BF SPIROMAX and Symbicort TURBOHALER will improve their device-handling technique and potentially improve their treatment outcome, that is, better asthma control.

To evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety, tolerability and dose-response relationship, using oral corticosteroid (OCS) modulation, of 3 different doses of VR506 using a twice daily regimen from a new dry powder inhaler (nDPI) for 16 weeks in subjects with severe persistent asthma requiring OCS therapy, i.e. Step 5 treatment as defined by modified Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines 2011.

Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Dose-response and Safety of SA09012 in Bronchial Asthma Patients

This study tests the hypothesis that community health workers providing home visits to provide education and support for self-management of asthma, assessment of the home for environmental triggers, resources for asthma control, and assistance in effective communication with medical providers over the course of one year would reduce asthma morbidity, asthma-related urgent health care use and exposure to indoor asthma triggers among low income adults with not well controlled asthma.

Asthma is a common chronic respiratory illness which results in frequent wheezing, cough,reduced quality of life. Standard treatment for asthma attack includes oxygen therapy, β2-agonists (e.g. albuterol) and inhaled anticholinergics and corticosteroids. Although inhaled short-acting β2-agonists (SAB) is the initial choice to control acute asthma exacerbation, there are still some asthmatic children unresponsive to this management. The Global Initiative in National Asthma (GINA) does not recommend intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) for routine use in asthma exacerbation especially in young children. But intravenous MgSO4 can reduce hospital admission rates in certain patients due to several effects e.g relaxation of smooth muscle,blocking acetylcholine. In addition,adding MgSO4 to nebulized SAB provides greater benefit in severe asthma exacerbation.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a single dose of AMG 282 is safe in healthy subjects and subjects with mild atopic asthma.

Pharmacologic treatment of asthma and COPD is based mainly on inhalations. The aim of the study is to determine if short training of inhalation technique in patients with obstructive diseases may influence the course of asthma and COPD.
