Active clinical trials for "Asthma"

Asthma in the elderly is poorly understood, as most studies have not included this patient group. In a previous study of adults with asthma, choline supplementation had a positive effect on asthma symptoms and allowed to decrease asthma pharmacologic treatment. The present study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study of choline supplementation. The investigators will study the effect of choline 650 mg taken orally twice daily x 6 weeks versus placebo on asthma symptom scores (Asthma Control Test) and spirometric values (FEV1, FEV1/FVC, FEF25-75%). The investigators will also look at the effect of choline supplementation on peripheral blood eosinophils, serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) and homocysteine levels.

Primary objective: To investigate the safety and local tolerability of increasing cumulative doses (2, 4, 6 actuations) of a low (0.1%) and a high (0.5%) concentration of BHT administered via oral inhalation with the Respimat® inhaler B (RMT-B) vs. 2 inhalation solutions without BHT (placebo to BHT given by RMT B and placebo given by hydroxylfluoralkane metered dose inhaler (HFA MDI)). In a first step, the trial was performed in healthy subjects and - if no safety concerns arose - in a second step in patients with mild asthma who were sensitive to metacholine in a respective challenge test. Secondary objective: To explore the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BHT.

Primary objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the products under investigation on functional respiratory imaging parameters and evaluate the particle deposition with Computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Secondary Objectives: The secondary objectives of this study were to assess the effect of test product and reference product on: lung function (spirometry and body plethysmography), exercise capacity (6-Minute Walking Test [6MWT] or equivalent method to measure exercise tolerance), dyspnea (Borg Category [C] Ratio [R] 10 [Borg CR10] scale and Visual Analogue Scale [VAS] dyspnea). Furthermore, the safety of the test product and reference product was evaluated through monitoring of AEs throughout the study.

The purpose of this study is to test whether individualized homeopathic medicines can produce any significant effect beyond placebo in treatment of allergic rhinitis and/or induced bronchial asthma

Asthma is one of the four most common adult chronic disorders. Supporting asthma patients in improving their asthma control and symptoms as well as their quality of life are important goals in clinical management. This study will test the effect of a widely-available mindfulness training program in improving asthma control and symptoms and quality of life among patients with asthma, and explore the relationship between asthma control and a number of factors, including how well patients perceive their respiratory symptoms.

A Multicentre, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tezepelumab in Adults and Adolescents with Severe Uncontrolled Asthma

Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of PT001 to Placebo and Open-label Spiriva® Respimat® in Subjects With Persistent Asthma

Patients presenting to the emergency department with acute asthma exacerbation will be assigned to peak-expiratory flow rate (PEFR) guided management and non-PEFR guided management.

This study evaluates the initiation of inhaled corticosteroids upon discharge from the pediatric emergency room in children under 18 presenting with asthma exacerbation. Half of the patients will receive a prescription for inhaled corticosteroids in addition to standard care, and half of the patients will receive standard card alone.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent and reversible episodes of airway obstruction. Drug treatment usually includes inhaled corticosteroids and bronchial dilators, which often do not have adequate adherence. These acute episodes of bronchoconstriction can most often occur with hyperinflation and for decades the mechanisms that lead to hyperinflation have been studied, as well as increasingly modern ways of evaluating and treating these mechanisms. Noninvasive ventilation is increasingly occupying its space as a non-pharmacological resource in the treatment of asthma, initially as an adjunct in an attempt to help medication have its effect reached in the crisis, but this feature has been showing signs of having an even greater action which can even collaborate in reversing the crisis by not only giving time for pharmacological action. Recognizing these potential effects of this widely used resource and understanding its action on lung function and the reversal of exacerbation is part of this scientific process.
