The severe asthma is a major source of expenses in term of public health, while it concerns no more than 5 % of the asthmatics. The expenses is direct (medicines, hospitalizations, care) but especially indirect (absenteeisms, etc.). The forward-looking follow-up of cohort of more than 500 severe asthmatic patients multicentrique in an already widely established cohort (COBRA, at present in Visit 9 (one every 6 months) is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, coupled with the data of the CPAM, to identify well the evolution in time of a real medical economic variable. The possibility of dynamic follow-up of the expenses compared to the medical data offers perspectives of evaluation cost-efficiency of the informed therapeutic procedures. It is possible to couple in a forward-looking and dynamic way the data of health stemming from a cohort with the economic data stemming from the CPAM. This variable included in a Cluster's algorithm has to allow to identify the interventions the more and the less cost effective. The main objective of this study is to realize a cost estimate of care of the severe asthma. The variation of the costs will be also studied. The recruited patients are patients already included in the cohort COBRA in the centers of Marseille, Montpelier or Nice, classified GINA 4 and agreeing to participate.
NCT01402986
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of tralokinumab to standard asthma medication is effective in the treatment of adults with asthma.
NCT01454960
Bacteria resistant to antibiotic therapy are a major public health problem. The evolution of multi-drug resistant pathogens may be encouraged by provider prescribing behavior. Inappropriate use of antibiotics for nonbacterial infections and overuse of broad spectrum antibiotics can lead to the development of resistant strains. Though providers are adequately trained to know when antibiotics are and are not comparatively effective, this has not been sufficient to affect critical provider practices. The intent of this study is to apply behavioral economic theory to reduce the rate of antibiotic prescriptions for acute respiratory diagnoses for which guidelines do not call for antibiotics. Specifically targeted are infections that are likely to be viral. The objective of this study is to improve provider decisions around treatment of acute respiratory infections. The participants are practicing attending physicians or advanced practice nurses (i.e. providers) at participating clinics who see acute respiratory infection patients. A maximum of 550 participants will be recruited for this study. Providers consenting to participate will fill out a baseline questionnaire online. Subsequent to baseline data collection and enrollment, participating clinic sites will be randomized to the study arms, as described below. There will be a control arm, with clinic sites randomized in a multifactorial design to up to three interventions that leverage the electronic medical record: Order Sets that are triggered by EHR workflow containing exclusively guideline concordant choices (SA, for Suggested Alternatives); Accountable Justification (AJ) triggered by discordant prescriptions that populate the note with provider's rationale for guideline exceptions ; and performance feedback that benchmarks providers' own performance to that of their peers (PC, for Peer Comparison). The outcomes of interest are antibiotic prescribing patterns, including prescribing rates and changes in prescribing rates over time. The intervention period will be over one year, with a one-year follow up period to measure persistence of the effect after EHR features are returned to the original state and providers no longer receive email alerts.
NCT01681732
A pilot study to test the feasibility of a personalized asthma care intervention.
NCT01689571
The study is designed to look at the safety, tolerability and efficacy of 2 different doses of the study drug (CHF6001, a PDE4 inhibitor) in asthmatics, when given by inhalation, once a day for 9 days. The efficacy will be evaluated by measuring the protective effect of CHF 6001 after an allergen challenge.
NCT01370031
The purpose of this study is to evaluate, at steady-state, the systemic exposure and the lung deposition of B17MP (active metabolite of BDP) as AUC0-12h,ss and Cmax,ss, after inhalation of BDP (Clenil® Modulite®) with the AeroChamber Plus™ spacer device or with the Volumatic™ spacer device without or with charcoal block.

NCT00868023
Multinational, multicentre, randomised, double blind, double dummy, placebo and active controlled, 5-way cross over
NCT01589198
The purpose of this study is to learn more about asthma in people who are not well-controlled with current asthma medication (refractory asthma). The investigators will compare data from refractory asthmatic patients here at National Jewish Health to mild asthmatics subjects and to people without asthma. Study experiments involve looking at samples from all 3 groups and comparing them at a molecular level. These laboratory experiments may help identify subtypes of refractory asthmatics that require different treatments.
NCT00284895
This research study is looking at the effects of weight loss, due to surgery or structured weight-loss program on lung function, inflammation in your body and lungs, asthma and asthma symptoms. This study is important because we will be better able to understand the effect of weight on lung functioning and asthma. Approximately 20 research subjects will be enrolling in this study at National Jewish. Adults with asthma who has elected to undergo weight-reduction surgery may qualify for the participation. Involvement will last about 1 year.
NCT03094767
Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction reflects the pathophysiology of Diabetes Mellitus in this patient group favors an increase in morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular events, and for this reason has been one of the most studied clinical entities. Therefore this work aims to analyze the cardiorespiratory parameters and glycated hemoglobin after the commission of a rehabilitation program in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. The collection protocol is to check the heart rate, blood pressure, double product, Borg scale, variability heart rate and glycated hemoglobin of patients with type 2 diabetes This project this is an experimental study, the type randomized clinical trial on the hemodynamic response and glucose levels in patients with DM2 institutionalized in Acre Hospital Foundation submitted to one rehabilitation program consisting of aerobic and anaerobic exercises performed for 12 weeks in three weekly meetings, of 60 minutes each.
NCT02097537
The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SK-1211 inhalation challenge in children with bronchial asthma.
NCT00361920
The hypothesis is that patients who demonstrate steroid resistant asthma by showing little or no improvement in lung function after a course of oral steroids have different cellular responses to steroids than patients who are steroid sensitive. These altered responses are the reason they demonstrate steroid resistance.
NCT01475032
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that CHF 1535 in pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) is non-inferior to the corresponding dose of free combination of Beclomethasone (BDP) and Formoterol Fumarate (FF) and superior to the corresponding dose of BDP in terms of lung functions in asthmatic children patients.
NCT00443482
This study is designed to demonstrate that formoterol 12µg and 24µg delivered by a new inhalation device (Concept1) are equivalent to the corresponding dose of formoterol delivered by the Aerolizer device in terms of efficacy, in patients with persistent asthma.
NCT02475811
One hundred healthy women with singleton pregnancies in the 1st stage of labor will be included in the study, divided into two groups; Group A (n: 50 - women pregnant ± 34-37 weeks) \& Group B (n: 50 - women pregnant ± 37+1-40 weeks). A 3D volume model of the right fetal lung is generated \& lung volume is calculated using VOCAL software. After child birth, neonatal respiratory functions will be assessed using APGAR score at (1, 5 and 10 min) together with occurrence of RDS and the further need for NICU admission and respiratory support measurements.
NCT01909310
After routine induction of general anaesthesia peak airway pressure (= P max) and other respiratory parameters(i.e. expiratory tidal volume, expiratory CO2) are measured with and without head support in three different head positions: neutral position, reclination of the head, a position deemed ideal by the anaesthesist; primary study goal is pmax depending on different head positions;
NCT02234401
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a life limiting illness. Median predicted UK survival is 41.4 years (UK CF Registry 2011). The commonest cause of death is respiratory failure. Non invasive ventilation (NIV) is a system which delivers a preset pressure to supplement the size and depth of each breath. It is introduced in CF to manage established respiratory failure. A nose or a mask which covers both the nose and mouth allows flexible ventilation, is used just at night, or for part of the day in addition or for 24 hours as clinical status indicates. It is introduced within a normal ward environment and then continued longterm at home.Once respiratory failure is established longterm noninvasive ventilation is introduced throughout 24 hours and multidisciplinary assessment concludes that the timing is appropriate for the individual. This study aims to evaluate a potential development of current practice: the use of non invasive ventilation during hospital admission only to enhance recovery from an acute exacerbation which has caused respiratory failure in those individuals where long term non invasive ventilation is not yet indicated. A mixed methods design will allow description of the experience of noninvasive ventilation during a semistructured interview to add to understanding of the results from an experiment designed to measure the differences between noninvasive ventilation and standard care. Aim: To compare the clinical efficacy with the patient experience of NIV on recovery from an acute respiratory exacerbation complicated by respiratory failure in adult Cystic Fibrosis.
NCT03087188
There are different therapy strategies for patients suffering on obstructive lung disease like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and asthma bronchial available. One of these strategies includes inhalative drugs, e.g. ß2-mimetics, anticholinergic drugs, or glucocorticoids, which are indicated often and which can be used with different inhalation devices. Dry powder inhalators, and dosieraerosol are used the most in clinical routine. Further strategies in treating obstructive lung disease are innovative systems like Respimat or systems with liquid inhalation. However, the success of the therapy depends on the correct application technique. In the clinical routine a high error rate was observed. Consequently, the initiative of the German league of respiratory tracts published internet-based film sequences in order to demonstrate how to use an inhalator correctly. These films are available in the internet for everyone and can be watched as often as needed in order to improve technique and facilitate training. Therefore, in this study we aim to evaluate the following aspects: * amount of wrong applications in ambulant and hospitalized patients (wrong in terms of lack of knowledge on how to use the inhalator or incorrect utilization) * amount of correct applications in patients who had first used the inhalator incorrectly but improved technique by watching the film sequences * evaluation of learning success within 2 weeks to 2 months (follow-up visit in the ambulance)
