NCT05945355
This is single-center cross-sectional mechanistic study in lean and obese children with moderate-severe asthma, followed by a randomized, SHAM-controlled trial of Inspiratory Training (IT). The primary outcome is to describe the contributions of inspiratory muscle dysfunction (IMD) and Small Airway Dysfunction (SAD) to obesity-related versus non-obesity-related asthma. The study will involve training (IT) for 8 weeks at three intensity levels (SHAM, low and high). Target dose: 150 inspirations three times weekly. The population includes 6 to 17-year-old children with moderate to severe asthma and with a body mass index qualifying as normal habitus (BMI 5th to 84th CDC percentile) or obese habitus (≥95th percentile BMI and less than 170% of the 95th CDC percentile). Participants will be involved for 10 weeks. The investigators will use analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to estimate and test the difference in mean values of baseline measures between obese and non-obese cohorts. Covariates will include age, sex (male/female), race/ethnicity, baseline asthma severity (NAEPP step 2 vs ≥3), and atopy status
NCT07038642
The goal of this study is to assess the effect of an electronic asthma management system in pharmacies (eAMS-Pharm) on asthma control assessment, asthma medication adjustment, asthma action plan delivery, and prompting for specialist referral in severe asthma. The study assesses the differences on pharmacy processes (affecting both the pharmacy team and patients) and pharmacy-delivered care using an interrupted time-series analysis (six-months before vs. six-months after the introduction of eAMS-Pharm in study pharmacy sites). The eAMS-Pharm uses patient data (asthma control, asthma flare-up risk, and current medications) to provide clinical decision support to pharmacists, empowering them to bridge existing gaps between guideline-recommended asthma care and patient care received.
NCT01606826
The mission of the SARP is to improve the understanding of severe asthma through integrated study of its clinical and biological features and to evaluate their changes over time. The ultimate goal of these efforts is to promote better treatments for severe asthma.
NCT04693403
The dearth of Intensive care units in low resource settings portends for poor outcomes amongst patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) . To our knowledge, the effect of CPAP and HFNC on major outcomes has not been assessed in adults with AHRF in resource-limited settings. The aim of this prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, trial is to determine whether High-flow oxygen through a nasal cannula (HFNC) or Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) system can reduce mortality among patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) in a limited resource setting as compared with standard low flow oxygen therapy?
NCT04549636
Little is currently known about the immediate and long-term effect of COVID-19 on lung ventilation (delivery of air to the lungs) and lung perfusion (delivery of blood to the lungs). Some people who survive COVID-19 may have lung ventilation and/or perfusion injury that persists following COVID-19 recovery. This lung injury may be related to inflammation in the lung, breathlessness, exercise limitation and reduced quality of life. Therefore, towards the goal of understanding the effects of COVID-19 on lung health, the purpose of this study is to characterize and understand the clinical relevance of COVID-19 related lung ventilation and perfusion injury and associated inflammatory status, ≤4 weeks and 6-months following COVID-19 recovery in an asthmatic and healthy population. To do this, an asthmatic and healthy population who have, and have not, been previously diagnosed with COVID-19 will be studied.
NCT06170827

NCT07121257
This prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, proof-of-concept clinical trial evaluates the physiological performance and safety of the Ventijet System, a hybrid ventilation system based on continuous high-velocity gas flow. The system was conceived during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as a response to ventilator shortages, building upon a previously patented continuous-flow nozzle system developed by Dr. Lucas Picazo in the 1990s. The concept combines the physiological benefits of continuous flow ventilation (CFV) with the potential ease of design, monitoring, and scalability. Patients with moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) - defined by a ratio of arterial partial pressure of oxygen to inspired oxygen fraction (PaO₂/FiO₂) between 150 and 200 mmHg - were first stabilized on a conventional mechanical ventilator (Puritan Bennett 840, PB840) using lung-protective settings. They were then transitioned to the Ventijet system following a structured protocol that included real-time monitoring and esophageal pressure measurements. The primary endpoint was oxygenation, measured as the change in PaO₂ after one hour of ventilation with the Ventijet system compared to baseline values under conventional ventilation. The study was designed to demonstrate non-inferiority, with a predefined margin of ±20 mmHg in PaO₂. Secondary outcomes included carbon dioxide clearance (PaCO₂), respiratory system mechanics, safety events, and feasibility in intensive care unit (ICU) conditions.
NCT07120438
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the predictive value of diaphragmatic ultrasound compared to the Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI) in determining weaning success among mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU for more than 48 hours. The main question it aims to answer is: Which is more effective in predicting weaning success: diaphragmatic ultrasound (including Diaphragmatic Excursion \[DE\] and Diaphragm Thickening Fraction \[DTF\]) or RSBI, in patients ventilated \>48 hours in the ICU of Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta? Participants will be adult ICU patients who are undergoing weaning from mechanical ventilation after more than 48 hours. Before extubation, each participant will undergo diaphragmatic ultrasound assessment to measure DE and DTF, along with RSBI measurement. The predictive accuracy of these parameters will be evaluated by comparing them with the actual weaning outcomes. Secondary objectives include: 1. Assessing whether diaphragmatic ultrasound is associated with a higher weaning success rate than RSBI. 2. Evaluating the correlation between DE values and successful weaning. 3. Determining the optimal cutoff values of DE and DTF as predictors of weaning failure. 4. Analyzing the incidence of weaning failure in patients who do not meet optimal diaphragm function criteria. 5. Identifying DE and DTF thresholds that may help reduce the risk of reintubation.
NCT04315558
RARICO is a pragmatic, randomized, controlled, double-blinded, multi-center trial evaluating the safety and feasibility of nebulized revefenacin in comparison to nebulized ipratropium in patients with COPD and acute respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation.
NCT07119411
The study will compare ICU sub-units, those with additional support of a clinician awareness system, ICU Beacon, and those receiving the standard of care. The win-ratio composite outcome will be assessed by comparing patients by study group and stratified by APACHE score at admission.
NCT06001645
Barotrauma (pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum) is a well-described complication of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), especially in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (16.1% in COVID-19, and about 6% in non-COVID-19 ARDS). Macklin effect was recently discovered by our group as an accurate radiological predictor of barotrauma in COVID-19 ARDS; the Investigators also found that density histograms automatically extracted from chest CT images provide a reliable insight into lung composition . Since lung frailty is a major issue also in non-COVID-19 ARDS, the Investigators want to confirm the predictive role of Macklin effect also in this setting. In addition, the Investigators aim to explore inflammatory profiling to decipher different biological aspects of the same clinical issue. Finally, the Investigators want to develop a specific management algorithm for patients diagnosed, according to our findings, with a specific ARDS sub phenotype characterized by increased lung frailty

NCT05045612
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most urgent health threats of our time, and Norwegian hospitals were required to reduce the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics with 30% by the end of 2020. In the current proposal, the investigators aim to assess the efficacy and safety of early discontinuation of antibiotic therapy in adult patients infected with respiratory viruses. A general recommendation to treat all instances of community acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients with antibiotics leads to significant antibiotic overtreatment. In 2008, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the first multiplex polymerase chain reaction assay for the detection of multiple respiratory virus nucleic acids simultaneously. The wide availability of such nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) for rapid viral detection together with chest radiographs has the potential to define patients who can be managed without antibiotics. Akershus University Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in Norway, with a catchment area of more than 550,000 people. In 2012 to 2013, the majority of patients admitted to Akershus University Hospital with suspected CAP and a positive viral NAAT were treated with antibiotics, a prescription pattern representing antibiotic overtreatment. The investigators accordingly hypothesize that discontinuation of antibiotic therapy in patients with moderately severe disease and airway sample positive for respiratory viruses is safe and non-inferior to continuation of antibiotic therapy.
NCT06412172
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is an orphan disease that affects approximately 20,000 people in the United States and is caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11. Since RRP is an orphan disease, it is an understudied disease entity with correspondingly few treatment options. The investigators hypothesize that by understanding the biology of RRP and the failed host immune responses against HPV, novel and rational therapies can be developed. This study will examine the genetic and immunologic alterations found in these rare tumors and distant metastatic involved sites (such as the lung) in patients diagnosed with RRP.
NCT05814510
The long-term goal is to implement an evidence-based asthma intervention based on the Center for Disease Control's recommended framework (EXHALE) within Baltimore City Public Schools (BCPS). As part of a stepped wedge pragmatic trial the investigators will: 1. Evaluate the effectiveness of a tailored implementation plan of Asthma CHAMPS in 32 Baltimore city elementary schools to reduce asthma disparities. 2. Conduct a pragmatic trail using a stepped wedge design to evaluate implementation of a school and home asthma intervention program to reduce asthma-related absences, healthcare utilization and exacerbations and improve asthma control, among children enrolled in 32 Baltimore City elementary schools. 3. Use qualitative methods (observation and semi structured interviews) to obtain stakeholder feedback (parents, community health workers, school personnel and administrators) on impact of Asthma CHAMPS, identify potential refinements in intervention and implementation strategies, and evaluate impact of local adaptation and fidelity on implementation success and sustainability.
NCT07114107
This is a prospective study. It enrolls subjects with allergic rhinitis, with or without asthma, who have nasal congestion as the main symptom and meet the inclusion criteria, aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acoustic vibration combined with an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device in the treatment of patients with nasal congestion. On the premise that subjects agree to use basic medications (antihistamines, mometasone furoate nasal spray, ICS-LABA), they are instructed to use the acoustic vibration therapy device and the oscillating positive expiratory pressure therapy device respectively, 3 times a day for 3 minutes each time. Indicators related to nasal congestion will be measured immediately after a single use, as well as at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks of use, so as to monitor the improvement of nasal ventilation and accompanying symptoms in the subjects.
NCT05880836
The objective of ILAN is to assess the safety, feasibility and bronchodilator efficacy of in-line bronchodilator nebulizer delivery with VMN via HFNC system in hypoxemic respiratory failure patients treated with bronchodilators and compare this method to standard-nebulization using a jet nebulizer with a facial mask. The investigators hypothesized that aerosol nebulization using HFNC/VMN represents safer and more convenient approach in hypoxemic respiratory failure patients in comparison to conventional therapy while providing similar bronchodilator efficacy.
