Active clinical trials for "Asthma"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether anti-TSLP will decrease airway hyperresponsiveness in patients with asthma already on daily treatment with inhaled corticosteroids. The investigators expect that airway hyperresponsiveness will decrease after treatment with anti-TSLP, and that this happens due to a change in the type of mast cells with in the lungs. Also, the investigators expect a decrease in inflammatory cells and mediators measured in material from the lungs. Half of the participants will receive anti-TSLP (MEDI9929) on top of their regular asthma treatment, while the other half will receive placebo on top of their regular asthma treatment.

Primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether patients with severe eosinophilic asthma who have received long-term treatment with mepolizumab (at least 3 years) need to maintain treatment with mepolizumab to continue to receive benefit. Subjects who participated in the open-label studies MEA115666 or 201312 with at least 6 months of treatment with mepolizumab prior to Visit 1 and who have no more than 2 consecutive missed doses of mepolizumab treatment will be eligible to participate in this study. This study will be conducted in 4 parts in approximately 300 subjects. Part A will be Variable Open-Label Run-in (for subjects with less than 3 years of mepolizumab treatment). Once the required 3 year exposure is reached, subjects will enter Part B- Fixed Open-Label Run-In (4 weeks to 8 weeks). During Part A and B subjects will be administered Open-label mepolizumab (100 milligram [mg] Subcutaneous [SC]) every 4 weeks. Part C will be the randomized double-blinded part. Upon completion of Part B, eligible subjects will be randomized to mepolizumab (100 mg SC) every 4 weeks or placebo administered SC every 4 weeks for 52 weeks. Subjects discontinuing investigational product (IP) due to a clinically significant asthma exacerbation will then enter optional Part D of the study. During Part D, subjects receive open-label mepolizumab in addition to their standard of care therapy for the remainder of the study, through Part D up to 52-weeks post-randomization. An Exit Visit will be conducted 52 weeks after randomization in order to assess subject's efficacy parameters, immunogenicity status, and to conduct additional safety assessments. Eligible subjects will participate in the study ranging from 56 to192 weeks, depending on the duration of Part A (0 to 132 weeks) and Part B (4 to 8 weeks).

This study has the aim to assess the effectiveness of the Buteyko method as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of children with asthma.

This is a pivotal, 12-month, randomized, sham controlled, parallel group, multicenter, double blind study with an allocation ratio of 1:1. The study population is children between the ages 6 to 17 years, with mild to moderate persistent asthma. The purpose of the study is to determine whether the CREON2000A, an environmental control device, will decrease asthma severity, as measured by the Composite Asthma Severity Index (CASI), in children with mild to moderate persistent allergic asthma over a twelve month period.

This is a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel group, Phase 2 trial evaluating CRD007 administered orally b.i.d for 14 weeks for the treatment of asthma. CRD007 will be given as add on to a background of commonly used controller medication, i.e. inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) with or without long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA). By gradually reducing the background controller medication, the efficacy and safety of CRD007 will be evaluated on top of several dose levels of this medication.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending dose of CNTO 7160 administered intravenously (IV) in healthy participants and multiple dose administered IV in participants with asthma and atopic dermatitis.

This research is being done to look at the body's response to cockroach extract, an allergen, when sprayed into the nose. The spraying of the cockroach extract into the participant's nose is called Nasal Allergen Challenge (NAC). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a intranasal cockroach extract given to participants with asthma.

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

The purpose of the study is to Evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of single inhaled doses of VR942 in healthy subjects (part 1) and repeated doses in mild asthmatics (part 2).

To confirm the robustness of the CRC749 inhaler.
