Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Eosinophilia"

A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of benralizumab administered subcutaneously in patients ≥ 6 to < 18 years of age with severe eosinophilic asthma, including a well-documented history of asthma exacerbations and uncontrolled asthma receiving high-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus at least one additional controller medication.

Mepolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG1, kappa) that blocks interleukin- 5 (IL-5) thus inhibits production and survival of eosinophils. The aim of this phase 4, open-label, single-arm study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Mepolizumab 100 mg SC administered every 4 weeks in Indian participants aged 18 years or above with severe eosinophilic asthma. After the first dose of mepolizumab, participants will receive 5 more doses of mepolizumab at 4 weekly intervals. Following the last dose of mepolizumab, the end of the study Visit will occur 4 weeks later. During the treatment period, OCS use and dose adjustment in participants will be as per the investigator's discretion and clinical practice.

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of dexpramipexole as an adjunctive oral therapy in participants with inadequately controlled asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype and a history of asthma exacerbations.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate dexpramipexole as an add-on oral therapy in participants with inadequately controlled eosinophilic asthma to evaluate improvements in lung function, asthma control, and quality of life. In addition, the study will further evaluate the safety and tolerability of dexpramipexole in participants with eosinophilic asthma.

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effects of two newly available biological drugs for the treatment of severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in Danish patients. The main questions it aims to answer are whether the two drugs are comparable in effect after 24 weeks in terms of: A subjective score (the SNOT-22) An objective score, i.e.the physician-assessed score of nasal polyp size (the Nasal Polyp Score (0-8)) Methods: Participants will be randomized into two groups and receive either drug in the standard dose. After 24 weeks the effect is assessed. If the clinical effect is sufficient in terms of the criteria set by the Danish Medicinal Council (see elsewhere), treatment continues with the same drug for an additional 24 weeks. If the effect criteria are not met, the subject crosses-over to the opposite drug for an additional 24 weeks. After 48 weeks the effect is assessed once more.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder characterized by bronchial inflammation and reversible bronchial obstruction. Severe asthma is an extremely heterogeneous disease, often associated with several comorbidities and risk factors. Severe uncontrolled asthma associated with bronchiectasis is an emerging phenotype. Several studies have attempted to establish an association between asthma and bronchiectasis. Mepolizumab, an Interleukin-5 (IL-5) antagonist, reduces exacerbations, eosinophils, and improves pulmonary function and asthma control. IL-5 is pivotal to eosinophils maturation and release from bone marrow, their subsequent accumulation, activation and persistence in the tissues. IL-5 therefore represents an attractive target to prevent or blunt eosinophils-mediated inflammation. The investigators hypothesize that eosinophils, stimulated by IL-5, play a crucial role in severe asthma and BE pathogenesis.

The objective of this clinical study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of dexpramipexole in participants with inadequately controlled severe eosinophilic asthma.

This study will assess the effects of benralizumab on airway dynamics in severe eosinophilic asthma in terms of quantitative computed tomography (CT)-derived measurements of pulmonary structure and function using the Functional Respiratory Imaging (FRI) platform.

This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of 610 as an adjunctive therapy in adult subjects with severe eosinophilic asthma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a drug called benralizumab in individuals with severe, poorly controlled asthma with eosinophilic airway inflammation. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that help fight off infections. Some people with asthma have too many eosinophils in their airways and blood, which can cause airway inflammation. Benralizumab is a new drug that is Health Canada approved and has been shown to rapidly eliminate eosinophils. It has been used in patients with severe asthma to improve lung function and reduce flair-ups, also known as exacerbations. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an imaging tool that can look at the structure of the lungs when a subject inhales a xenon gas mixture. In healthy individuals, the gas fills the lungs evenly, but in individuals with lung disease, some of the areas of the lungs are not filled by the gas and the image looks patchy. These patchy areas are called ventilation defects and they contribute to reduced lung function. The goal of the study is to see if treatment with benralizumab will improve these ventilation defects, overall lung function and blood and sputum eosinophil levels. Subjects will receive treatment with benralizumab a total of 3 times, 4 weeks apart. Before and after treatment, subjects will undergo a series of MRI tests, breathing tests, blood and sputum analysis and a series of questionnaires to evaluate daily quality of life. The hypothesis is that ventilation defects will significantly improve after benralizumab treatment, and that this improvement will be different based on how long the patient has had asthma.
