Active clinical trials for "Aspergillosis, Allergic Bronchopulmonary"

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a pulmonary disorder caused by a complex hypersensitivity response to antigens released by the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. Oral corticosteroids are currently the treatment of choice for ABPA associated with bronchial asthma. They not only suppress the immune hyperfunction but are also anti-inflammatory. However, there is no data to guide the dose and duration of glucocorticoids and different regimens of glucocorticoids have been used in literature. The disorder is highly prevalent in India. The investigators have previously reported their experience with screening stable outpatients with bronchial asthma and acute severe asthma for ABPA. The investigators have also recently reported the prognostic factors associated with clinical outcomes in patients with ABPA. The aim of this prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different glucocorticoid dose protocols in patients with ABPA.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of itraconazole monotherapy in patients with ABPA.

The purpose of this multi-center event-driven study in participants with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daprodustat.

The study evaluates the addition of itraconazole to glucocorticoids in management of acute stages of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). Half of the participants will receive glucocorticoids while the other half will receive itraconazole and glucocorticoids

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a immunological pulmonary disorder caused by hypersensitive reaction to spores of Aspergillus fumigatus. The prevalence of disease is about 1-2% in asthmatics and 2-15% in patients with cystic fibrosis. The interest in ABPA stems from the fact that the disease is glucocorticoid-sensitive and early treatment can prevent progression to end-stage lung disease. Recently anti-Th2 therapies have been suggested as treatment for ABPA. Vitamin D has been shown to suppress the Th2 responses and decrease the levels of Th2 interleukins. Hence, the investigators propose to assess the role of vitamin D in treating ABPA.

This is a research project to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different treatment protocols in Allergic bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis.

The purpose of this study is to see if giving people with CF and ABPA enough vitamin D to make their blood levels of the vitamin higher, will reduce the allergic response in their body and make the symptoms caused by ABPA better.

Compare the incidence of severe clinical exacerbations in the treatment of ABPA, between a strategy with a maintenance treatment and a conventional strategy without antifungal maintenance therapy.

The aim of the study is to compare the concordance between chest computerized tomography-scan (CTscan) and Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) for the description of the abnormalities seen in Allergic BronchoPulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA).

Phase IV, open-label study will evaluate effects of Benralizumab in the treatment of severe asthma in patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
