Summary: Asthma self-management is dependent on support and education. To facilitate self-management have we developed and CE-mark a novel digital self-management system called Asthmatuner (Medituner AB, Sweden).The primary aim of this program is to evaluate if self-management with Asthmatuner improves asthma control more than traditional self-management. RCT with two arms, Asthmatuner or traditional asthm...

Summary: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease that leads to episodic symptom exacerbations, which exerts a substantial burden on quality of life and can influence other health domains if not adequately controlled. Asthma prevalence rates have increased in the past decade, affecting 8.4% (25.7 million people) of the United States population. The economic costs of asthma have been estimated annual...

Summary: Health inequality and genetic disparity are a significant issue in the United Kingdom (UK). This study focuses on diseases that are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in the UK, and specifically examines the extent and basis of treatment failure in different patient populations. The vast majority of drug registration clinical trials have under-representation of ethnic minority pop...

Summary: There is large heterogeneity in treatment response to asthma medication and a one-size fits all approach based on current guidelines might not fit all children with asthma. It is expected that children with one or more variant alleles (Arg16Arg and Arg16Gly) within the beta2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene coding for the beta2-receptor have a higher risk to poorly respond to long-acting beta2-ago...

Summary: This study will investigate the role of dupilumab in the treatment of asthma with comorbid obesity. It is hypothesized that in airway epithelial cells, unique transcriptomic and proteomic expression patterns distinguish allergic and non-allergic patients with asthma and obesity and drive significant differential responses to dupilumab. It is further hypothesized that dupilumab will increase interl...

Summary: This study will assess the efficacy and safety of GSK3511294 (Depemokimab) as an adjunctive therapy in participants with severe uncontrolled asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype.

Summary: This is a parallel, Phase 2, global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, four-arms study for treatment. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of add-on therapy with amlitelimab in adult participants with moderate-to-severe asthma. Study details include: The study duration (per participant) will be up to approximately 76 w...

Summary: Assessment of cardiovascular disorders using echocardiography and arterial stiffness; comparative noninvasive assessment of volatile organic compound (eVOC) exhale breath patterns in patients with different chronic respiratory diseases with age and gender-matched healthy adults in order to identify a disease-specific exhaled eVOCs profiles and markers of respiratory and cardiovascular disorders.

Summary: This is a US study comparing the efficacy and safety of BDA MDI [Budesonide/Albuterol Sulfate (BDA) metered dose inhaler (MDI)] with AS [Albuterol Sulfate] MDI, both are administered as needed for up to 12 months.

Summary: This is an observational, clinic-based, single center study of 120 subjects. Participants will be comprised of patients seen in the outpatient faculty practice in ambulatory care at the UCSF Parnassus campus. Study investigators will enroll 20 healthy participants with no history of lung disease, 50 asthmatics who are newly prescribed therapeutic proteins for their asthma, and 50 asthmatics alread...

Summary: This is a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, multi-centre, 2-part study to assess the efficacy and safety of inhaled AZD1402. Part 1 will be performed in a Lead-in Cohort for each dose level to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) in a population with asthma controlled on medium dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)-long acting beta agonists (LABA) before progressing to dosing i...

Summary: Self-management strategies for asthma, including patients engagement and adherence to personalised action plans with advice on recognizing and responding to deterioration in control with effective treatments can improve asthma outcomes and possibly reduce the risk of future exacerbations. However, the real-life evidence is that asthma control remains sub-optimal in the majority of cases, thus incr...
