NCT01711463
In this study, fluticasone furoate (FF) and vilanterol (VI) in different dose combinations (50/25mcg, 100/25mcg and 200/25mcg) will be administered from a single dry powder device to evaluate the PD, PK, safety and tolerability of the combination in healthy Chinese subjects. The information gathered will be used as a support of the clinical development program of the fixed dose combination of FF/VI inhalation powder in Chinese population.
NCT01462617
The study will comprise three Parts: Part A will consist of two cohorts of healthy male volunteers to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ascending single doses of nebulised GSK2269557. Blinded safety and available PK data will be reviewed before each dose escalation. Part B will be one cohort to examine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a repeated dose of GSK2269557 given by nebuliser for 7 days in healthy male volunteers. The total daily dose will be the same as, or lower than, doses that are well tolerated in Part A. Part C will consist of two cohorts of single nebulised doses in healthy male smokers, to assess pharmacodynamic endpoints in sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage.
NCT00839046
The burden of childhood asthma is borne disproportionately by children living in poverty and in urban centers, many of whom are from communities of color and are at greater risk for environmental exposures. Given the complex interaction of physical and social environmental factors on childhood asthma, there have been increasing calls for comprehensive efforts using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach. Community Action Against Asthma is a long standing CBPR partnership in Detroit, Michigan, composed of representatives from community-based organizations, health and human service agencies, and academia. All members of the partnership have been actively involved in the development of the CBPR project proposed here. The specific aims are: 1) to test the efficacy of air filters (AFs) separately and when combined with air conditioners (ACs) to reduce exposure to particulate matter (PM), over and above a standard community health worker home visit (standard) intervention; 2) to test the association between any reduction in PM exposure through the use of AFs separately and when combined with ACs over and above a standard intervention and health outcomes in children with asthma; 3) to elucidate the causal pathways by which any intervention-related improvements in children's asthma-related health status is occurring. One hundred and fifty households in Detroit, Michigan with at least one child with mild persistent or moderate to severe persistent asthma will be enrolled to participate in the study. Households will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a standard household intervention (or control) group; an AF only intervention group; or an AF+AC intervention group. Extensive health and exposure measures will be undertaken during the course of the 12 -month intervention. Given the role of PM in children's asthma-related health and the higher concentrations of PM in microenvironments, there is a need to test the efficacy and efficiency of novel approaches to reducing indoor air pollutants. Doing so using a CBPR approach will enhance the relevance and ultimately the success of this proposed research.
