Asthma Paid Clinical Trials in Florida

The CR-AZI Study will assess the immunomodulatory effects of Azithromycin for pediatric Critical Asthma. Read Less

The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider. Read Less

Most children with asthma have concurrent atopy (allergic inflammation), which is associated with an improved response to ICS. However, the absence of an atopic phenotype is associated with a poorer ICS response, leaving clinicians with limited treatment options. The nonatopic asthma phenotype has been characterized as the absence of atopic diseases including allergic rhinitis, eczema, or food allergies, and a negative skin prick test to common aeroallergens. Children with mild asthma treated with ICS over 44 weeks without a positive allergen skin test are 3 times more likely to have an asthma exacerbation when compared with children with positive skin tests. Similarly, adolescents and adults with asthma with low blood eosinophils or low sputum eosinophils have no difference in exacerbation rate response to ICS compared with placebo. Due to poor ICS response in nonatopic children and the known adverse effects of ICS, the development of non-steroid treatments options is needed. Monotherapy with the long-acting muscarinic antagonist, tiotropium, was superior to placebo for treatment failure outcomes in adolescents and adults with low sputum eosinophil levels. Tiotropium is approved in children as an add on therapy to ICS in children ≥ 6 years with asthma. But, this combination of treatment would still expose children with nonatopic asthma to the risks (but potentially without the benefit) of ICS therapy. The objective of this study is to conduct a feasibility pilot safety study of 6-weeks treatment with tiotropium monotherapy vs. ICS in children ages 6 to 11 years old with nonatopic mild persistent asthma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate dexpramipexole as an add-on oral therapy in participants with inadequately controlled eosinophilic asthma to evaluate improvements in lung function, asthma control, and quality of life. In addition, the study will further evaluate the safety and tolerability of dexpramipexole in participants with eosinophilic asthma. Read Less

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of dexpramipexole as an adjunctive oral therapy in participants with inadequately controlled asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype and a history of asthma exacerbations. Read Less

The objective of this clinical study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of dexpramipexole in participants with inadequately controlled severe eosinophilic asthma. Read Less

The purpose of the ATHENA Project is to test a mobile health intervention to help African American young adults better manage their asthma. The program has four components: 1) a web-based, mobile asthma program delivered to participants' mobile device, 2) meetings with an asthma nurse via video conference, 3) text messaging, and 4) physical activity tracking. Participants will be randomly assigned to one or more of these components to better meet the needs of young adults with asthma. Read Less

The primary goal of this project is to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and adherence of a smartphone application for improving asthma self-management in a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT). The app is specifically designed to appeal to adolescents. Adolescents with persistent asthma will be randomized to receive: 1) standard-of-care or 2) the self-management app in addition to standard-of-care. Feasibility will be assessed by the ability to recruit and retain subjects, technical barriers to implementation, and the appropriateness of the intervention among adolescents and providers. The acceptability of the intervention will be determined by appraising perceived usefulness, entertainment, and ease of use of the app. Adherence to usage of the app over a 6-month period will be assessed by examining the frequency of app usage and the features that were used, and the extent of data regarding self-management that was entered. A secondary objective is to obtain preliminary estimates of effectiveness of the app on clinical outcomes (ACT score, spirometry, CHSA-C, exacerbations, and medication adherence) relative to standard-of-care. It is hypothesized that the app will result in a high level of adherence and will be a feasible and acceptable intervention to improve self-management among adolescents with persistent asthma.

The purpose of this open-label 12-month extension study is to continue to characterize the long-term safety, efficacy and immunogenic profile of GSK3511294 (Depemokimab) in participants with severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype following completion of clinical studies 206713 or 213744.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a potential type 2 signature, obtained through stimulation of cell lines with various allergens in vitro, correlates with an allergic or asthmatic disease state ex vivo. This type 2 signature will be multi-hierarchical in nature and will be comprised cell surface receptor expression, pathway activation, and gene upregulation. Read Less

The aim is to test the efficacy of AIM2ACT and long-term maintenance of treatment effects in a fully-powered randomized controlled trial with 160 early adolescents with poorly controlled persistent asthma, ages 12-15 years, and a caregiver Read Less

TARGET-RWE is a 10-year, international, longitudinal, observational study of patients with chronic disease designed to specifically address important clinical questions that remain incompletely answered from registration trials. The protocol will follow a master protocol design in which a shared study infrastructure supports progressive development of the registry across the spectrum of chronic diseases. Read Less
