The research is being conducted at up to 40 clinical research sites in the US. Study participants will have a number of visits to a research site over a 4-month period.
NCT01928771
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Benralizumab reduces the number of asthma exacerbations in patients who remain uncontrolled on high doses of ICS-LABA.
NCT01402986
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of tralokinumab to standard asthma medication is effective in the treatment of adults with asthma.
NCT01868061
This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab in participants with asthma whose disease remains uncontrolled despite daily treatment with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy and at least one second controller medication. Participants will be randomized in 1:1:1 ratio to receive double-blind treatment with either lebrikizumab ("high" or "low") or placebo, administered as subcutaneous (SC) injection every 4 weeks for 52 weeks, in addition to their standard-of-care therapy. This will be followed by a 52-week double-blind active treatment extension. Participants who were assigned to placebo during the placebo-controlled period of the trial will be re-randomized at Week 52 to receive blinded SC lebrikizumab 37.5 milligrams (mg) or 125 mg every 4 weeks from Weeks 53 to 104. The anticipated time on study treatment is 104 weeks. After study treatment, all participants will complete a 20-week safety follow-up.
NCT01845025
The purpose of this study was to assess whether the risk of serious asthma-related events (asthma-related hospitalizations, asthma related intubations, and asthma related deaths) in adolescents and adults (12 years of age and older) taking inhaled formoterol fumarate/fluticasone propionate combination was the same as those taking inhaled fluticasone propionate alone.
NCT01836471
The purpose of the study was to assess the clinical effect of QAW039 in non-atopic asthmatics taking low dose Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS) as background therapy.
NCT01730027
This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ADC3680 administered once daily as an add-on therapy to inhaled corticosteroids and when co-administered with montelukast in patients with inadequately-controlled asthma. Patients will be randomised to 3 Arms to receive ADC3680, placebo or montelukast.
NCT01430403
The purpose of this trial is to compare the efficacy of 4 to 5 months of three treatments - omalizumab, corticosteroid therapy boost, and placebo - in reducing fall exacerbations in inner-city children and adolescents with allergic persistent asthma when initiated approximately 4 -6 weeks prior to the start of the first day of each participant's school year.
NCT01987492
This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy of lebrikizumab compared with placebo, as measured by the ability of participants to achieve lower daily doses of OCS, among those with severe corticosteroid-dependent asthma. Prednisone/prednisolone will be the OCS therapy prescribed. Participants will be randomized to receive lebrikizumab or matching placebo for 44 weeks in a double-blind, placebo-controlled (DBPC) period. Those who complete the 44-week period may continue into a 32-week active treatment extension (ATE) period, during which all participants will receive lebrikizumab treatment. Following completion of the ATE period, participants who have both tolerated and derived benefit from treatment with lebrikizumab may continue their lebrikizumab treatment into a long-term extension (LTE) period. Participants will transition to 24 weeks of safety follow-up upon discontinuation of study drug.
NCT00970606
To assess the efficacy and safety of oral rosuvastatin in patients with suspected or confirmed influenza who require intensive care unit (ICU) admission due to respiratory distress.
NCT01383941
This is an epidemiologic, multi-center, cross-sectional study to define the phenotypic characteristics of Difficult-to-Treat asthma, among children between the ages of 6 to 17 years, receiving one year of guidelines-based therapy for asthma and rhinitis/rhinosinusitis.
NCT02586506
Asthma is a chronic disease of the lungs characterized by airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction and increased airway responsiveness. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), alone or in combination with inhaled long-acting beta-adrenergic agonists (LABA), are considered a mainstay of treatment for treatment. For inhaled medications, the choice of inhalation device is an important consideration because an inadequate technique reduces the delivery of medicines and effects of inhalation. Therefore, the development of an easy-to-use inhaler that delivers the drug to the lungs effectively, is important. This study is designed to assess the correct use of the ELLIPTA inhaler in subjects with asthma and also to assess ease of use of the ELLIPTA inhaler, as rated by those subjects determined to be using the inhaler correctly. Study will be divided into two visits i.e. Screening/Visit 1 (day 1) and Visit 2 (Day 28 +/-2) with a phone call on Day 8+/-2 days of Visit 1 to assess safety. In this multi-center, single-arm, randomised (to receive one of two versions of the ELLIPTA inhaler Ease of Use questionnaires), open-label, placebo study, only subjects who are have never used the ELLIPTA inhaler before and have an established diagnosis of asthma and receiving asthma therapy and are able to demonstrate correct use of the ELLIPTA inhaler at Visit 1 will be considered eligible to participate in this study. Approximately 252 subjects will be screened with an expectation of 208 subjects completing the study while demonstrating correct ELLIPTA inhaler use at visit 2. ELLIPTA is a registered trademark of the GlaxoSmithKline Group of Companies.
NCT00829985
There is currently no effective way to prevent development of allergic rhinitis (nasal allergies) and asthma and no cure. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), a type of therapy in which allergens are placed under the tongue, may be a way to control and possibly prevent allergic rhinitis and asthma. However, detailed research of this approach is limited. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a sublingual cockroach extract given to adults with perennial allergic rhinitis, asthma, or both.
NCT01251224
The MAAIT is a randomized, controlled trial of a home intervention to reduce mouse allergen exposure in mouse allergic children with asthma and mouse allergen exposure. Participants will be randomized to either the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Group or the Education Group. The IPM Group will receive professional mouse abatement, education, two HEPA filters, allergen-proof mattress and pillow encasements, and targeted cleaning. The Education Group will receive education about IPM at the beginning of the trial and then after completion of the trial, will receive the IPM intervention. Participants will be followed for 12 months.
NCT00005776
Respiratory failure in term newborns is associated with increased rates of death and long-term neurodevelopmental problems. This large international multicenter trial randomized newborns who had failed to respond to intensive care, including high levels of ventilator support, to receive either inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) or 100 percent oxygen to test whether iNO would decrease their risk of dying or requiring temporary lung bypass. Infants were followed during their initial hospitalization; their outcome was assessed at 18 to 24 mos of age.
NCT00016523
This multicenter trial tested whether inhaled nitric oxide would reduce death or the need for oxygen in preterm infants (less than 34 weeks gestational age) with severe lung disease.
NCT01606306
The INFANT study will test whether, in preschool children 12-59 months of age with persistent asthma, the following Step 2 asthma therapies will provide similar degrees of asthma control: 1. Daily inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment, 2. Daily leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) treatment, and 3. As-needed ICS plus short-acting beta agonist (as-needed ICS/SABA) rescue treatment.
NCT00354965
Clinical research study to test amoxicillin and clavulanate tablet formulation for use in Acute Bacterial Sinusitis (ABS) in adolescent patients weighing at least 40 kilogram (kg) and no more than 16 years old. ABS is an acute bacterial infection of the sinus. The purpose of this study is to find out how children tolerate Augmentin XR and what happens to Augmentin XR in the body after it has been swallowed by children.
NCT00634036
Asthmatics who are significantly overweight tend to have more severe symptoms, more flare ups, and are more likely to have poorly-controlled asthma when compared to other asthmatics. Researchers believe this occurs because excess adipose tissue (fat) in the body can cause higher-than-normal levels of leptin and lower-than-normal levels of adiponectin in the blood. The researchers of this study are testing a medication called pioglitazone in overweight asthmatics because they believe it can help regulate leptin and adiponectin and that this may improve symptoms of asthma.
