Active clinical trials for "Asthma"

A double-dummy, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, active controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of QVM149 (indacaterol acetate / glycopyrronium bromide / mometasone furoate) compared to salmeterol xinafoate/fluticasone propionate in children from 12 years to less than 18 years of age with asthma.

The goal of this observational study is to test the Evaluation of the efficacy and mechanism of action about Huang-long Zhi-xiao Granule to improve the control rate of Asthma chronic duration. The main questions it aims to answer are: [Relying on the top-level experimental design, scientifically evaluated the efficacy and safety of Huang-long Zhi-xiao Granule in patients with chronic asthma (hot asthma), and provided evidence support for the clinical application of Classical Prescriptions.] [Through the retained sample to test Asthma-related inflammatory indicators, immunoglobulins, T cell subsets, etc. To investigate the mechanism of action of Huang-long Zhi-xiao Granule in patients with chronic duration of asthma (hot asthma).]

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a potential type 2 signature, obtained through stimulation of cell lines with various allergens in vitro, correlates with an allergic or asthmatic disease state ex vivo. This type 2 signature will be multi-hierarchical in nature and will be comprised cell surface receptor expression, pathway activation, and gene upregulation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CHF6001 (Tanimilast) as add-on to maintenance of inhaled corticosteroids in combination with Long-acting ß2-agonists in the target patient population. (TANGO)

Administration of a combined program for general (Mindfulness) and respiratory (Buteyko technique) relationship in patients with poorly controlled asthma and anxiety/stress to determine if it provides an improvement in current control and future risk of asthma.

Bronchial asthma (abbr. asthma) is one of common airway chronic inflammatory disease which usually threatens human health. Typical symptoms of asthma are recurrent wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough, usually happened at night or in early morning. However, there are still some patients who persist only clinical manifestations of chest tightness, namely, chest tightness variant asthma (CTVA). This subgroup of asthma usually lacks asthma-specific clinical features, therefore, often misdiagnosed and lack of effective treatment for a long time. The investigators' previous studies have found that CTVA has eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic subtypes. These patients with non-eosinophilic CTVA (NE-CTVA) are not sensitive to ICS/LABA, which guidelines recommend. At present, the specific treatment plan for NE-CTVA is urgently needed to elucidate. Azithromycin has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects in addition to their antibacterial effects. Maintenance treatment with azithromycin has been proved to be effective in chronic neutrophilic airway diseases and severe asthma. However, there are no clinical studies to confirm the effectiveness of azithromycin in non-eosinophilic asthma, especially atypical asthma such as NE-CTVA. Now the investigators performed a national multi-center study to explore whether azithromycin improves asthma symptom control and improves quality of life in people with NE-CTVA. Finally, to find an optimal treatment for NE-CTVA.

This study aims to generate real-world data on the characteristics of patients receiving benralizumab to assess early PRO parameters as well as long-term treatment effects in the Gulf cooperative council (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Qatar), Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia), and India. It is anticipated that the data generated will provide practical, patient-focused real-world evidence and enhance communications between patients and physicians in an objective and structured manner to ensure better disease control in patients under benralizumab treatment.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare soy isoflavones to placebo in children who at risk of asthma and have a genetic variation which results in them making more of a pro-inflammatory protein, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. The main questions this trail seeks to answer is: will soy isoflavones decrease wheezing episodes in these children when given in the first year of life. Participants will be asked to ingest soy isoflavone or placebo twice daily mixed into a liquid or puree vehicle for 7 months from randomization. There will be 3 mandatory in-person visits, and 6 virtual visits in the first year. There will also be 11 monthly questionnaires and 1 in person visit in the observation year. Participants will have 4 nasal swabs, 3 blood draws, and also provide 4 stool samples over the course of the study.

This study will investigate the role of dupilumab in the treatment of asthma with comorbid obesity. It is hypothesized that in airway epithelial cells, unique transcriptomic and proteomic expression patterns distinguish allergic and non-allergic patients with asthma and obesity and drive significant differential responses to dupilumab. It is further hypothesized that dupilumab will increase interleukin-13 receptor alpha 2 (IL-13Rα2) levels and/or signaling activity on airway epithelial cells isolated from allergic asthma patients with obesity. This is a pre-clinical research study of dupilumab-induced gene and protein expression analyses in nasal airway epithelial cells of adults with asthma and comorbid obesity. The study primarily seeks to: 1) assess the effect of dupilumab on transcriptomes, phosphoproteomes and secretomes of well-differentiated, primary airway epithelial cells as a function IL-13R subunit expression and IL-13Ra2 signaling, in allergic and non-allergic asthma patients with obesity; and 2) test whether dupilumab-induced gene and protein changes significantly correlate with parameters of airway inflammation in allergic and non-allergic asthma.

This is a multicenter, prospective observational cohort study, in which patients with chronic airway diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD), asthma, asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS) will be recruited.
