NCT03983603
Plant stanols are known to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, studies have suggested that these compounds also influence the immune system. Asthmatic responses are predominantly T helper (Th)2 cell dependent, while plant stanols were previously found to activate Th1 cells and shift the immune response away from the Th2 cell dominant asthmatic response. The question now is whether this also translates into a reduction of clinical symptoms in asthma patients.The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate clinical benefits of prolonged consumption of plant stanols (delivered via plant stanol esters) in asthma patients. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the mechanisms via which plant stanols modulate the immune system and to evaluate the effects of plant stanol ester consumption on cardiovascular (CVD) risk parameters.
NCT04574908
The study team will collect data for this study from participants who are having surgery and recovering postoperatively on 2 pre-designated hospital units. The study team will use vital signs data from a portable device that participants wear on their wrists as well as conventional vital signs data that is collected when a health care provider comes into their room and collect this information. A substudy is also being performed with the distribution of surveys to the nursing staff on the floors who are utilizing the ViSi hemodynamic monitors within our institution.
NCT00442117
This study will be an open-label, parallel-group comparison of Mometasone Furoate Dry Powder Inhaler (MF-DPI) 200 mcg once daily in the evening with two puffs vs. Budesonide Dry Powder Inhaler (BUD-DPI) 200 mcg twice daily with two puffs each time in patients previously treated with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) or without ICS with diagnosed mild persistent or moderate persistent asthma (classified as Global Initiative For Asthma, 2005) in the previous 4 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint is percent change from baseline in FEV1.
