Active clinical trials for "Asthma"

This randomized control trial design (RCT) study was conducted on children aged 6 -11 years

To compare the therapeutic equivalence of Beclomethasone Dipropionate MDI (Inhalation Aerosol) 0.04 mg/ INH with the marketed QVAR® 40 mcg (Beclomethasone dipropionate hydrofluoroalkane (HFA)) and to demonstrate superiority of both active treatments over placebo.

The aim of the study is to pilot test the implementation of healthcare provider education interventions to improve asthma outcomes in rural youth residing in Bradford County, Florida. The investigators propose to assess the feasibility and acceptability of implementing the Easy Breathing program a rural, medically underserved county and evaluate changes in healthcare provider practices and asthma-related outcomes of rural youth diagnosed with asthma.

This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The study will use a three-period, six-sequence, complete-block, cross-over study design to characterize two doses of inhaled TD-8236 compared to placebo in subjects with mild asthma and a known response to an allergen. Each of the three periods will be 14 days, followed by a washout period before the next period.

Double-blind, randomized, two-way cross-over study with two treatment periods. 28 subjects with asthma will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to treatment A) Indacaterol/Mometasone 150/160 μg once daily and treatment B) Indacaterol/Glycopyrronium/Mometasone 150/50/80 μg once daily for period 1. For period 2, subjects will be crossed over to the other treatment arm. Subjects will be screened during the first visit. After inclusion subjects will be seen for 3 visits during the Run-in period, 3 visits during treatment period 1 and 3 visits during treatment period 2. During these visits patients will be clinically characterized and exposed to allergen challenge tests.

The primary objective of the study is to show that ventilation heterogeneity identified by hyperpolarized helium-3 lung MRI is prevalent children with poorly controlled asthma despite guidelines-based treatment with ICS. The secondary objective is to demonstrate whether or not eight weeks of treatment with extra-fine particle ICS (HFA-BDP) improves ventilation heterogeneity compared to treatment with a coarse particle ICS (fluticasone HFA or dry powder).

This study will determine the pharmacokinetic profile of the salbutamol concentration in the urine while athletes are resting or during exercise.

This study aims to explore the potential impact of switching inhalers by assessing the handling error rate (critical and non-critical) in controlled asthmatics currently treated with, and using correctly, SERETIDE via the DISKUS Inhaler who are switched to receiving SERETIDE via the Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) (EVOHALER) without training by a Healthcare Professional (HCP). This will be a descriptive, multi-centre, open-label, non randomized 14 day study assessing MDI technique in subjects with controlled asthma (Asthma Control Test [ACT] score >= 20 at Visit 1) currently treated with, and able to use correctly, SERETIDE via the DISKUS Inhaler. All the eligible subjects will be switched to an equivalent dose of SERETIDE via the MDI. Subjects will need to use the MDI inhaler in accordance the accompanying patient information leaflet (to be read prior to use) for approximately 14 days. No instruction, coaching or comment on inhaler technique will be provided by the HCP. MDI technique of subjects will be assessed at Visit 2 (after 14 days) and the errors will be recorded. Subject will revert back to using their SERETIDE DISKUS inhaler again from Visit 2. Subjects will be followed up by telephone for approximately 1 week after Visit 2. A maximum of 110 subjects will be enrolled such that approximately 100 evaluable subjects complete the study. The total duration of the study for each subject will be approximately 21 days.

Traditionally, Black Seed (Nigella sativa) is a well-known food supplement and herbal product that has a wide range of medical claims (including asthma) that originate from different historical backgrounds. Today in the era of Evidence-based medicine, it is hard to accept those traditional medical claims of medicinal plants without valid scientific experiments. Thus, randomized clinical trials is important to rational the uses of herbal products. Asthma is a common chronic disorder of the airways, characterized by variable reversible and recurring symptoms related to airflow obstruction, bronchial hyper-responsiveness, and underlying inflammation. In Saudi Arabia, Asthma is considered one of the leading chronic diseases affecting more than 2 million Saudi citizens. The global Asthma Report 2014 considered Asthma as an epidemic disease probably affecting about 334 million people worldwide and becoming a global health priority. This project investigates the use of herbal products to enhance asthma control in Saudi Arabia. In this context, Black Seed is one of the common herbal products used traditionally for asthma in the Saudi region. Black seed is a common unconventional therapy used among 10% of Asthmatic patients in King Abdulaziz Medical city, Riyadh. In fact, there are some pre-clinical evidence and preliminary clinical studies support the usefulness of Black seed in Asthma and its underlying causes

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the pharmacodynamic bioequivalence of the test product to the reference product in adult patients with asthma.
