NCT02258542
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety profile of benralizumab administration in asthma patients who have completed one of the three predecessor studies: D3250C00017, D3250C00018 or D3250C00020.
NCT03969615
The purpose of the study is to randomly and prospectively evaluate the differences in outcomes between the control group (closed full facemask immediate post-extubation with standard oxygenating device used post-operatively in PACU) and the SuperNO2VA™ group (SuperNO2VA™ immediate post-extubation and post-operatively in PACU)
NCT02236559
The overall objective of this study is to determine if Vapotherm high flow nasal cannula therapy (HFT), when used to treat respiratory failure in the ED, is at least equivalent to the current standard of care for non-invasive ventilatory support, non-invasive positive pressure mask ventilation (NIPPV). Moreover, this study will investigate the potential that HFT has possible advantages over NIPPV, such as decreased time to patient stability from respiratory failure, and the ease of use as a first line intervention for respiratory failure in the ED environment. The hypothesis is that HFT via the Vapotherm Precision Flow will demonstrate clinical non-inferiority when compared to NIPPV with regard to treatment failure by way of an impact on ventilation indices and a lower intolerance rate, and have a positive association with hospital disposition and length of stay.
NCT01249625
Despite widespread use of respiratory protective equipment in the U.S. healthcare workplace, there is very little clinical evidence that respirators prevent healthcare personnel (HCP) from airborne infectious diseases. Scientific investigation of this issue has been quite complicated, primarily because the use of respirators has become "the standard of care" for protection against airborne diseases in some instances, even without sufficient evidence to support their use. The key question remains: How well do respirators prevent airborne infectious diseases? The answer to this important question has important medical, public health, political and economic implications.
NCT02054130
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of 3 dose levels of MEDI9929 (AMG 157) on asthma exacerbations in adult subjects with inadequately controlled, severe asthma.
NCT02253433
The purpose of this study is to improve the health of African-American adults who have poorly controlled asthma. The study compares a home-based exposure reduction and asthma control intervention to enhanced in-clinic care that includes a standard clinical appointment as well as information from a detailed exposure history, asthma education, assessment for allergies, and a customized asthma self-management plan developed using motivational interviewing. The interventional group receives enhanced in-clinic care, as well as a customized home-based environmental exposure assessment and multicomponent exposure reduction and asthma control intervention (five home visits over approximately 12 months).
NCT02325791
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of suptavumab (REGN2222) in infants born no more than 35 weeks, 6 days gestational age who are no more than 6 months of age at the time of enrollment in their respective geographic location. In order to optimize the potential benefit in this vulnerable population, we conducted this study during the RSV season using dosing regimens that are expected to be effective.
NCT00523042
This trial is conducted in Europe, Asia, Oceania and the United States of America (USA). This is a one-year clinical trial to compare the safety of inhaled preprandial human insulin to subcutaneous insulin aspart in subjects with type 1 or 2 diabetes and asthma.
NCT02794480
The study is conducted to evaluate the potentially improved patient handling of the ELLIPTA Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI). Therefore, the study aims to evaluate errors encountered by subject with asthma during handling ELLIPTA DPI relative to two metered dose inhalers (MDI), a GSK MDI and the AstraZeneca (AZ) MDI. It is a randomised, multi-centre, open-label, cross-over study comparing placebo ELLIPTA DPI with placebo MDI (GSK and AZ) to assess correct inhaler use. No active drug will be used in this study in order to prevent any drug-related effects. Approximately, 152 subjects will be randomized to receive ELLIPTA DPI inhaler and 152 will be randomized to receive one of the MDI inhalers, for use during the first period (P) (approximately 28 days). At Visit 2 (Day 28) all subjects previous receiving the ELLIPTA DPI will be randomized to receive one of the MDI inhalers and all subjects who received a MDI in the previous period will receive the ELLIPTA DPI for use during second period (approximately 28 days). Subjects will continue taking their asthma maintenance treatment and limited rescue albuterol MDI during the entire 56-day study period.

NCT02918071
The purpose of the study is to assess functionality, performance, and reliability of an single-use auto-injector (AI) with benralizumab administered subcutaneously (SC) in an at-home setting reported by the patient or caregiver, and to confirm the safety and clinical benefit of benralizumab administration in asthma patients with severe asthma
NCT02509078
This study evaluates whether giving a neuromuscular blocker (skeletal muscle relaxant) to a patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome will improve survival. Half of the patients will receive a neuromuscular blocker for two days and in the other half the use of neuromuscular blockers will be discouraged.
NCT03026322
Complications are common during endotracheal intubation of critically ill adults. Manual ventilation between induction and intubation ("bag-valve-mask" ventilation) has been proposed as a means of preventing hypoxemia, the most common complication of intubation outside the operating room. Safety and efficacy data, however, are lacking. PreVent is a randomized trial comparing manual ventilation between induction and laryngoscopy to no manual ventilation between induction an laryngoscopy during endotracheal intubation of critically ill adults. The primary efficacy endpoint will be the lowest arterial oxygen saturation. The primary safety endpoints will be the lowest oxygen saturation, highest fraction of inspired oxygen, and highest positive end-expiratory pressure in the 24 hours after the procedure.
NCT02730351
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, crossover study with two 2-week treatment periods separated by a 2-week wash-out period. Subjects will participate in up to eight study visits and have a follow up phone call approximately a week after the last clinic visit. Visits 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 are evening visits that will be conducted between 5PM and 11PM. Visit 4 and Visit 7 are also evening visits that will begin between 5PM and 11PM and continue over a period of approximately 24 hours. Subjects will be required to attend three clinic visits during this 24-hour period. An exercise challenge (using a treadmill) will be conducted at Visit 2, Visit 3 and Visit 6 (after 23 hours of the first treatment dose in each Treatment Period); and at 12 and 23 hours post evening dose at Visits 4 and 7. Spirometry will be conducted at specified visits and prior to and after each exercise challenge. Subjects with symptomatic allergic rhinitis at Visit 1 (screening) may be treated for up to four weeks with intranasal corticosteroids followed by a repeat screening visit to determine eligibility prior to entry into the study. Eligible subjects at visit 1 will complete a 4-week single blind run-in on FP 250 microgram (mcg) twice daily (BID), followed by 2-week double-blind Treatment Period 1 on randomized treatment, a 2-week single blind washout period on FP 250 mcg BID, 2-week double-blind Treatment Period 2 receiving the alternative treatment, and follow-up contact approximately 7-days after completing Treatment Period 2. The total duration of study participation is approximately 11 weeks; and up to 15 weeks for subjects with Symptomatic Allergic Rhinitis. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the protective effect of fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (FF/VI) 100/25 mcg once-daily compared with fluticasone propionate (FP) 250 mcg twice-daily against exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in adolescent and adult subjects aged 12 to 50 with persistent asthma.

NCT02135614
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of presatovir on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) viral load in RSV-positive adults who have been hospitalized with acute respiratory infectious symptoms. Participants will receive 1 dose of presatovir on Day 1 and followed for 27 days postdose. Nasal swabs will be collected at each study visit (excluding Day 28) and assayed for change in viral load as the primary endpoint.
NCT03364608
This is a randomized, double-blind, single-dose, placebo-controlled, 5-period, 5-treatment, crossover, multi-center study to assess the bronchodilatory effect and safety of 2 dose levels of Albuterol Sulfate Pressurized Inhalation Suspension (hereafter referred to as AS MDI), 90 μg and 180 μg, compared with placebo for AS MDI (hereafter referred to as Placebo MDI) and open-label Proventil® hydrofluoroalkane (HFA; hereafter referred to as Proventil) 90 μg and 180 μg in adult and adolescent subjects with mild to moderate asthma. This study design utilizes 10 treatment sequences.
NCT03371459
This is a randomized, cumulative dose, open-label, 2-period crossover, multi-center study to assess the safety, efficacy, PK, and extrapulmonary PD of cumulative doses of AS MDI compared to cumulative doses of Proventil as an active control in subjects with mild to moderate asthma
NCT01967173
The purpose of this study is to find the best asthma treatment to add for Blacks who have asthma that is not well controlled on a low dose of inhaled steroid. This study will also try to find out if Black adults and children differ in how they respond to the medications used in this study.
NCT02528318
This study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lucinactant for inhalation, administered as an aerosol in up to four escalating doses to preterm neonates 26 to 28 weeks gestational age who are receiving nCPAP for RDS compared to neonates receiving nCPAP alone.
NCT00784758
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Fenzian™ treatment on symptoms (such as shortness of breath), lung function (how well the lungs work), and albuterol/salbutamol (rescue medication) use in people with asthma. This will be done by comparing the effects of Fenzian™ treatment to the effects of a sham treatment, which looks the same as the Fenzian™ device but doesn't do anything. The Fenzian™ device is an electrical instrument that the investigators hope will help reduce airway inflammation associated with asthma symptoms by stimulating the nerves with very low electrical currents. The study device will be applied directly to the skin on the back, working along the ribs toward the spine, alternating between left and right sides, and on your face.
NCT01370317
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple dose treatment with MK-1029 in adults with mild to moderate persistent asthma.
