Active clinical trials for "Asthma"

The purpose of this study is to compare the superiority of CHF 1535 compared to CHF 718 in subjects with asthma on medium or high dose inhaled corticosteroids.

This study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, PK characteristics, PD effects and immunogenicity of CM310 in subjects with moderate to severe asthma. The study consists of three periods, including an up to 4-week screening period, a 24-week randomized treatment period, and a 8-week safety follow-up period.

The purpose of this open-label 12-month extension study is to continue to characterize the long-term safety, efficacy and immunogenic profile of GSK3511294 (Depemokimab) in participants with severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype following completion of clinical studies 206713 or 213744.

This is a randomized placebo-controlled trial of semaglutide, an FDA-approved therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, in adults with symptomatic asthma despite the use of inhaled steroids and with excess body weight. This study will test the central hypothesis that semaglutide will improve asthma control and reduce airway inflammation due to direct effects on the respiratory tract in adult asthma associated with obesity.

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FB825 in adult patients with moderate-to-severe allergic asthma.

Increase in inhaled corticosteroid dose vs triple therapy in T2-high asthma patients who remain uncontrolled with medium dose inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting β2 adrenergic combination: a real-life study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Flamboyant 125/12 association in adults with asthma.

Patients with obese late onset (after childhood) asthma can have lower FeNO levels, yet be highly symptomatic and poorly responsive to inhaled steroids. This is a common asthma phenotype, particularly among females. This reduction of NO occurs through increased arginase activity and uncoupling of NO synthase (NOS), by accumulation of asymmetric di-methyl arginine (ADMA), which further lowers the L-arginine/ADMA ratio, preferentially promoting reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and inflammation at the expense of NO. Indeed, in patients with obese late onset asthma, lower L-arginine/ADMA plasma ratios are associated with reduced FeNO, increased bronchial hyperreactivity, and greater asthma morbidity. In our pilot studies, the administration of L-citrulline, as an L-arginine donor, to patients with obese late onset asthma increased the L-arginine/ADMA ratio, FeNO levels, and improved asthma control and lung function. Therefore, the objectives of the protocol are to: a) determine the efficacy of L-citrulline, as an add-on treatment to improve the asthma control and lung function in obese late onset asthmatics; b) leverage the use of asthmatic and control cells to further understand obesity-related changes in epithelial airway NO metabolism, and how these changes relate to bronchoconstriction and lung function, c) determine airway epithelial changes in mitochondrial function and bioenergetics in obese late onset asthmatics and how these are modified by L-citrulline. To do this, 54 obese late onset asthmatics with suboptimal control will be blindly randomized, in a cross over study, comparing 15g/day of L-citrulline vs. placebo, in two 8-week treatment periods with a 6-week washout in between. The co-primary study outcomes are asthma control (ACQ, ACT) and FeNO, and secondary endpoints plasma L-arginine/ADMA, FEV1 and PC20 methacholine. Parallel to this study, a small study of 10 healthy obese controls will receive open label L-citrulline for 7 weeks to establish comparative reference values for the study aims. During the initial treatment phase, 50% of study participants will be randomly allocated to undergo pre and post L-citrulline treatment bronchoscopy to obtain BAL and airway epithelial cells. The research group proposing this study is highly experience in asthma clinical trials, implementation of cross over design studies, and in the use of research bronchoscopies.

This is an early phase clinical trial to test the efficacy of elevating lung volume with positive expiratory pressure (CPAP) as a controller therapy for asthma in patients with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. There will be two phases to this trial. Phase I: In the first phase we will determine the optimal duration of CPAP that is effective as a controller therapy in asthma. Up to 9 participants will complete this this phase. Phase II: The 2nd phase will be a randomized double-blinded controlled trial of Sham CPAP versus CPAP 10 (using the duration of CPAP determined in phase I) as a controller therapy for asthma, and also to determine the effect o airway reactivity in healthy people with a BMI 30 kg/m2 and above. Twenty people with asthma and twenty controls will complete this phase.

Pragmatic trial to define the magnitude and the predictive factors of the response to omalizumab and mepolizumab in adult patients with severe refractory asthma and eligible to both therapies.
