NCT02700542
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and Montefiore Medical Center, with the Fund for Public Health of New York (FPHNY), DOHMH's fiscal agent, are partnering on a study to evaluate the feasibility, health outcomes and return-on-investment of a single, integrated pest management (IPM) intervention for Bronx, Harlem, and Northern Manhattan children aged 5 to 12 with persistent asthma who are living in homes with pests. By demonstrating cost effectiveness, this study could provide the basis for health insurance coverage of an IPM visit embedded in clinical treatment plans for high-risk asthma patients living with pests. Asthma is the most common childhood disease in New York City, and both prevalence and hospitalization rates are highest in high-poverty neighborhoods. The greatest individual and community-level factor associated with asthma disparities is varying exposure to triggers in the home, most notably cockroaches and mice. Asthma health care costs are significant, and prevention efforts to reduce triggers could result in improved outcomes and significant cost savings. Unlike traditional pest control, which relies on pesticides, IPM eliminates pests and prevents re-infestation by addressing housing conditions conducive to pests and with safe, targeted use of pesticides. This project targets low-income children with the potential to significantly improve their health and well-being. A total of 400 families - 400+ children which includes screened and recruited siblings - will be recruited on to the study. The study is designed to evaluate an inexpensive and scalable environmental intervention for asthma that can be replicated in other New York City neighborhoods and incorporated into any urban healthcare setting in New York State and nationwide.
NCT01249625
Despite widespread use of respiratory protective equipment in the U.S. healthcare workplace, there is very little clinical evidence that respirators prevent healthcare personnel (HCP) from airborne infectious diseases. Scientific investigation of this issue has been quite complicated, primarily because the use of respirators has become "the standard of care" for protection against airborne diseases in some instances, even without sufficient evidence to support their use. The key question remains: How well do respirators prevent airborne infectious diseases? The answer to this important question has important medical, public health, political and economic implications.
NCT02054130
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of 3 dose levels of MEDI9929 (AMG 157) on asthma exacerbations in adult subjects with inadequately controlled, severe asthma.
NCT01967173
The purpose of this study is to find the best asthma treatment to add for Blacks who have asthma that is not well controlled on a low dose of inhaled steroid. This study will also try to find out if Black adults and children differ in how they respond to the medications used in this study.
NCT02325791
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of suptavumab (REGN2222) in infants born no more than 35 weeks, 6 days gestational age who are no more than 6 months of age at the time of enrollment in their respective geographic location. In order to optimize the potential benefit in this vulnerable population, we conducted this study during the RSV season using dosing regimens that are expected to be effective.
NCT02135614
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of presatovir on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) viral load in RSV-positive adults who have been hospitalized with acute respiratory infectious symptoms. Participants will receive 1 dose of presatovir on Day 1 and followed for 27 days postdose. Nasal swabs will be collected at each study visit (excluding Day 28) and assayed for change in viral load as the primary endpoint.
NCT02692573
Investigators will compare 500 full term babies delivered by SCD randomized into two groups, prone or supine position. Investigators will use a Panda warmer with built in Nellcor pulse oximeter. Each infant will have heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation via pulse oximetry, respiratory rate and respiratory effort documented every 1 minute for the first 5 minutes of life; beyond the initial 5minutes of life, monitoring as well as infant's management will be done as per current Weiler hospital protocols. The intervention group will be placed in prone position for first five minutes immediately after birth, and then changed to supine position. The control group will be placed supine from birth. Investigators will check for the incidence and severity of RD, supplemental oxygen need and duration, positive pressure ventilation (PPV) need and duration or other use of respiratory support (intubation). Additionally, investigators will record the number of infants requiring admission to the NICU in each group, days of ventilatory support as well as the length of hospitalization.
NCT03137784
The purpose of this trial is to characterize the bronchodilator effects and safety of 25 ug and 50 ug o.d. NVA237 (glycopyrronium bromide) doses compared to placebo in asthma patients
NCT03276026
The investigators will track bariatric patients who received sugammadex versus neostigmine in the post anesthesia care unit until discharge and assess their length of stay and possible nausea / vomiting / hypoxia episodes.
NCT01467076
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the use of Inhaled prostaglandin E1 (IPGE1) in Neonatal Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (NHRF). Fifty patients recruited at 10 high volume sites within the NICHD Neonatal Research Network will constitute a pilot sample to evaluate the feasibility and safety of prolonged IPGE1 administration and determination of optimal dose. In this Pilot RCT, two doses of IPGE1 (300 and 150 ng/kg/min) will be administered over a maximum duration of 72 hours and compared with placebo. Once feasibility and safety of IPGE1 administered over 72 hours has been demonstrated in the pilot trial, a full scale randomized controlled trial will be planned.
NCT02794480
The study is conducted to evaluate the potentially improved patient handling of the ELLIPTA Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI). Therefore, the study aims to evaluate errors encountered by subject with asthma during handling ELLIPTA DPI relative to two metered dose inhalers (MDI), a GSK MDI and the AstraZeneca (AZ) MDI. It is a randomised, multi-centre, open-label, cross-over study comparing placebo ELLIPTA DPI with placebo MDI (GSK and AZ) to assess correct inhaler use. No active drug will be used in this study in order to prevent any drug-related effects. Approximately, 152 subjects will be randomized to receive ELLIPTA DPI inhaler and 152 will be randomized to receive one of the MDI inhalers, for use during the first period (P) (approximately 28 days). At Visit 2 (Day 28) all subjects previous receiving the ELLIPTA DPI will be randomized to receive one of the MDI inhalers and all subjects who received a MDI in the previous period will receive the ELLIPTA DPI for use during second period (approximately 28 days). Subjects will continue taking their asthma maintenance treatment and limited rescue albuterol MDI during the entire 56-day study period. ELLIPTA is a registered trademark of the GSK group of companies.
NCT00784758
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Fenzian™ treatment on symptoms (such as shortness of breath), lung function (how well the lungs work), and albuterol/salbutamol (rescue medication) use in people with asthma. This will be done by comparing the effects of Fenzian™ treatment to the effects of a sham treatment, which looks the same as the Fenzian™ device but doesn't do anything. The Fenzian™ device is an electrical instrument that the investigators hope will help reduce airway inflammation associated with asthma symptoms by stimulating the nerves with very low electrical currents. The study device will be applied directly to the skin on the back, working along the ribs toward the spine, alternating between left and right sides, and on your face.
NCT03364608

This study design utilizes 10 treatment sequences.
NCT03371459
This is a randomized, cumulative dose, open-label, 2-period crossover, multi-center study to assess the safety, efficacy, PK, and extrapulmonary PD of cumulative doses of AS MDI compared to cumulative doses of Proventil as an active control in subjects with mild to moderate asthma
NCT02918071
The purpose of the study is to assess functionality, performance, and reliability of an single-use auto-injector (AI) with benralizumab administered subcutaneously (SC) in an at-home setting reported by the patient or caregiver, and to confirm the safety and clinical benefit of benralizumab administration in asthma patients with severe asthma
NCT03021304
This study is aimed to assess the correct real-world use of a safety syringe for the repeat self-administration of mepolizumab SC. This Phase III study will be an open-label, single-arm, repeat-dose, multi-centre study of mepolizumab liquid drug product in a safety syringe (100 milligrams \[mg\]) administered subcutaneously (SC) every 4 weeks (3 doses) in subjects with severe eosinophilic asthma. Subjects will receive 100 mg mepolizumab SC as a single injection that is self-administered in the thigh, abdomen or administered in the upper arm (caregiver only). Each subject will participate in the study for up to 18 weeks including pre-screening visit, a screening visit and a 12-week treatment period which concludes with end of study assessments (Visit 5) 4 weeks after the last dose of mepolizumab. Approximately 55 Subjects will be enrolled in the study.
NCT02398981
In the developed world critical illness is routinely treated in an intensive care unit (ICU) by highly specialized physicians, nurses and support staff. This model of intensive care is spreading rapidly to low and middle income countries and as it spreads, challenges and limitations to this model arise. In resource-poor settings, inadequate human resources, training, and equipment all present barriers to safe and effective use of life-saving procedures. The advances in medical informatics and human factors engineering have provided tremendous opportunity for novel and user-friendly clinical decision support (CDS) tools that can be applied in a complex and busy hospital setting. Real-time data feeds and standardized patient care tasks in a simulated acute care environment have been proven to have a significant advantage of a novel interface (compared to a conventional) in reducing provider cognitive load and errors. Currently researchers within the investigator's research group have developed and are pilot testing a simple electronic decision support tool: CERTAIN (Checklist for Early Recognition and Treatment of Acute Illness). This tool has been successfully tested and validated in simulated settings and is being implemented as pilot study in 18 countries. Worldwide infant and early childhood mortality continues to be very high partly due to the inability to recognize and respond aggressively to critical illnesses. Investigators expect that adaptation of the algorithms from CERTAIN has potential to be a powerful tool to improve on the medical care of children in developing countries. Investigators aim in this project is 1) to develop a pediatric adaptation of CERTAIN (CERTAINp) and 2) to implement it into clinical practice in resource-poor settings and evaluate the impact of the tool on the processes and patient outcomes.
