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.

NCT01147744
To evaluate the efficacy, dose response and safety of four doses of GSK2190915 in tablet form (10mg, 30mg, 100mg and 300mg) administered once daily, over 8 weeks compared with placebo in adolescent and adult subjects (12 years of age and older) with persistent asthma. These data will form the basis for the selection of the optimal daily dose of GSK2190915 to be carried forward in Phase III asthma studies. The study also includes Fluticasone Propionate Inhalation Powder (100 mcg, twice daily) and Montelukast (10mg, once daily) to allow for an exploratory analysis of the efficacy of GSK2190915 versus a low dose inhaled corticosteroid and a leukotriene receptor antagonist.
NCT02433834
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Chronic Dosing (14 days), 5-Period, 7-Treatment, Placebo-Controlled, Incomplete Block, Cross-Over, Multi-center, Dose-ranging Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Glycopyrronium MDI (PT001) Relative to Placebo MDI and Open-Label Serevent Diskus in Adult Subjects With Intermittent Asthma or Mild to Moderate Persistent Asthma
NCT01581177
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, dose-ranging and initial safety profiles of A006, an Albuterol dry powder inhaler (DPI), in the dose range of 25 to 180 mcg per dosing in comparison to a DPI Placebo Control and an Albuterol metered dose inhaler (MDI) Active Control. This study will be conducted in male and female adult patients who have mild-to-moderate persistent asthma for at least 6 months, but are otherwise generally healthy.
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.
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.
NCT01914757
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Benralizumab reduces the exacerbation rate in patients with a history of asthma exacerbations and uncontrolled asthma receiving ICS-LABA with or without oral corticosteroids and additional asthma controllers.
NCT00148642
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of a silver-coated endotracheal tube (ETT) can reduce the incidence and/or delay the time of onset of VAP when compared to a non silver-coated ETT in patients who have been mechanically ventilated for \>= 24 hours.
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.
NCT00048022

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.
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.
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.
NCT00434993
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and a lesser condition that occurs prior to ARDS, Acute Lung Injury (ALI), are medical conditions that occur when there is severe inflammation and increased fluids (edema) in both lungs, making it hard for the lungs to function properly. Patients with these conditions require treatment that includes the use of a breathing machine (ventilator). The purpose of this study is to find out whether giving albuterol (a drug commonly used in asthmatics) or not giving albuterol to patients with ALI or ARDS makes a difference in how long it takes for a patient to be able to breath without the ventilator.
NCT00642616
Examine the effects of TI in combination with an anti-diabetic regimen including inhaled insulin versus anti-diabetic treatment without inhaled insulin on lung function \& pulmonary safety
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.
NCT00342758
Early life exposures now appear to be important in modulation of the immune response and tendency to develop asthma. We plan to enroll a cohort of children at birth to study early life factors in the development of wheezing and respiratory illness during the first six years of life in Mexico City. In particular, we will consider the role of early diet (particularly antioxidant intake, lactation and obesity), infections, dust mite and cockroach antigens, traffic related air pollution, and environmental tobacco smoke. We will also consider the potential modifying effect of genetic predisposition with respect to the exposures of interest. Approximately 6,800 children will be enrolled at birth. The goal is to follow the cohort though age 6. To increase the number of expected cases of asthma, we will partially enrich the cohort for increased risk of asthma by virtue of having a parent with doctor diagnosis of asthma or allergies; the remaining cohort will not be enriched to preserve generalizability. Pregnant women enrolled in a prepaid health plan in Mexico City (the Insituto Mexicano de Seguridad Social, henceforth referred to as IMSS) will be screened for the study and invited to enrolled their newborns when they come for delivery at one of two IMSS hospitals. An initial home visit during the first three months of life will include assessment of environmental exposures and infant diet. Children will be followed through age six with yearly home visits, monitoring of acute lower respiratory illness during the first year of life and periodic review of the IMSS medical records. We have chosen Mexico City because of the relatively low rates of asthma in the face of prevalent exposures to factors that are thought to increase asthma risk in urban areas in the United States. These include dust mites, cockroach, airborne pollutants and social factors such as low income and young maternal age. This pattern suggests that protective factors may be operating in Mexico City that could shed light on the etiology of worldwide childhood asthma epidemic. Potential candidates include exposure to certain early infections that shift the developing immune system away from the pattern of allergic asthmatic response. We are also especially interested in potential protective effects of early nutrition. Exposure to ozone in this population is the highest in North American and thus antioxidant intake may be especially important. In order to evaluate these protective hypotheses, we will also collect information on risk factors believed to be related to increased risk of asthma in US cities such as allergens, traffic related air pollutants, and lower respiratory infection with respiratory syncytial virus.
