Active clinical trials for "Asthma"

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and open-label active controlled, parallel-group, multicenter, dose ranging study in male or female subjects ages 12 years and older with persistent asthma who are uncontrolled on non-steroidal therapy. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the dose response, efficacy and safety of 4 different doses of fluticasone propionate delivered as Fluticasone Propionate DPI (Dry Powder Inhaler) when administered twice daily.

The study will measure the change in lung function in subjects with asthma after inhaling from either of two inhalers: Albuterol Spiromax® or placebo.

There is a lack of scientific evidence that homeopathy and reflexology is effective treatment of asthma. Systematic reviews have found that many clinical trials testing homeopathy and reflexology have major flaws, such as small number of participants, lack of control groups or inadequate allocation concealment. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of reflexology and individualised homeopathy as an adjuvant treatment in asthma. In order to address this issue, the investigators conducted an investigator-blinded, randomized, controlled parallel group study.

The study objective is to compare the efficacy and the safety of masitinib at 6 mg/kg/day versus placebo in the treatment of patients with Severe Persistent Asthma treated with oral corticosteroids.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety of Symbicort compared to inhaled corticosteroid alone during 6 months in adult and adolescent patients with asthma

Leukotrienes are potent inflammatory molecules produced mainly by mast cells, eosinophils, monocytes/macrophage and neutrophils in response to allergic or inflammatory stimuli. GSK2190915 is a high affinity 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor that attenuates the production of leukotrienes, through the blockage of the first committed step in the leukotriene pathway, 5 lipoxygenase (5-LO) activation. GSK2190915 has been shown to be an in vitro inhibitor of human organic anion transporting polypeptides 1B1 and 1B3 (OATP1B1 and OATP1B3), hence there is a potential for a pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction with OATP1/ B1 substrates such as the anti-lipidemic rosuvastatin. This study will evaluate the effect of repeat oral dosing of GSK2190915 (30milligram (mg) and 100mg) on the steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) of rosuvastatin (10 mg). In addition, the study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of this combination when co-administered to healthy, adult volunteers in two cohorts.

In this single center, dose finding, safety study the effect of inhaled Ectoin® inhalation solution will be investigated in subjects with mild bronchial asthma. This dose-finding study will estimate the minimum effective dose and will assess the safe dosage, in terms of the quantity given to patients. The results will be compared to baseline measurements. The results regarding Sputum measurements will be compared to measurements after placebo administration.

This study will assess the pharmacodynamics, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of two different formulations of indacaterol maleate, both administered via the Concept1 device. The study aims to determine whether the novel formulation has a similar clinical profile as the established formulation.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single dose level of KB003 in subjects with inadequately controlled asthma.

The primary objective of this study is to determine if broccoli sprouts (BS) improves airway inflammatory, oxidative stress (OS), and symptoms among asthmatic adults with aeroallergen sensitization. The study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial to compare BS to placebo in 40 adults with asthma. 40 adults (age 18-50) who meet these eligibility criteria will be randomized to receive either: (a) BS or (b) placebo (alfalfa sprouts). Subjects will eat a sprouts sandwich daily for three days, and then undergo repeat measurement of outcomes.
