Asthma Paid Clinical Trials in Maryland

Background: Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a severe type of sinus infection. People with AFRS develop heavy mucus and growths called polyps that apply pressure to the sinuses and block their breathing. Surgery can remove the polyps, but they often grow back. Researchers want to test an approved drug they believe may help people with AFRS. Objective: To test a drug (Dupilumab) in people with AFRS. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older with suspected AFRS who are scheduled to undergo surgery for nasal polyps. Design: Participants will have several tests before their surgery. They will have imaging scans of their sinuses. They will have an endoscopic exam: A tube with a camera and a light will be inserted into their sinuses. They may give blood and mucus samples. They will have standard treatment with nasal sprays for 2 to 6 weeks before their surgery. Excess nasal tissue removed during the surgery will be collected for research. Then they will begin treatment with the study drug. Dupilumab is injected under the skin. Some participants will receive the study drug. Some will receive a placebo injections. The placebo injections are just like the study drug but contain no medicine. Participants will not know which injections they are getting. All participants will administer the injections to themselves at home. They will do this every 2 weeks for 1 year after the surgery. They will have a clinic visit 16 weeks after surgery. Participants will have follow-up for 12 weeks after treatment ends. Read Less

A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of benralizumab administered subcutaneously in patients ≥ 6 to < 18 years of age with severe eosinophilic asthma, including a well-documented history of asthma exacerbations and uncontrolled asthma receiving high-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus at least one additional controller medication.

The CHRONICLE Study is a multi-center, non-interventional, prospective cohort study of adults with severe asthma who do not achieve control with high-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy with additional controllers and/or require systemic corticosteroid or monoclonal antibody therapy. Data will be collected from the healthcare provider in a uniform manner for every patient enrolled using an electronic case report form (eCRF). Data will be collected monthly from patients via web-based surveys. Patients will be followed until study discontinuation or the patient withdraws from the study or death, whichever occurs first. The expectation is that patients will be followed for a period of at least 3 years. Read Less

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of high dose and low dose fluticasone propionate (Fp)/albuterol sulfate (ABS) integrated electronic module multidose dry powder inhaler (eMDPI) compared to ABS eMDPI in decreasing severe clinical asthma exacerbation (CAEs). Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of Fp/ABS compared to ABS and the effect on systemic corticosteroid (SCS) exposure To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Fp/A BS The duration for each participant will be a minimum of 28 weeks including 2 weeks of screening, 2-4 weeks of run-in period and a double blind treatment period of minimum 24 weeks, however due to the event-driven nature of this study, the duration may range up to approximately 35 months depending on the timing when the participant was enrolled to the study, and when the study reaches its completion criteria.

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is a procedure which involves passing a pencil-thin tube into the lung in order to collect fluid and cells from the airways. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy can collect cells from the walls of airways by gently brushing them (bronchial brushing). In addition, squirting small amounts of sterile water in to the airway and gently suctioning it back into the bronchoscope (bronchoalveolar lavage) collects cells. In this study, researchers plan to perform these tests on patients with asthma and normal volunteers. This research may help to improve the understanding of the processes involved in airway inflammation and asthma.... Read Less

This is a 12-week study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of budesonide and formoterol fumarate metered dose inhaler relative to budesonide metered dose inhaler in adults and adolescents with inadequately controlled asthma. Read Less

This is a Phase 2b, global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, dose ranging study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of add-on therapy with SC lunsekimig in adult participants aged 18 to 80 years, (inclusive) with moderate-to-severe asthma.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate effect of benralizumab on structural and lung function changes in severe eosinophilic asthmatics. Changes will be assessed over 48 week treatment period in patients with persistent symptoms despite standard therapy of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) plus long acting B2-agonist (LABA) with or without additional controller medication. Patients who complete treatment will enter 4 weeks follow-up period. Read Less

This is a variable length study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol inhaler in adults and adolescents with severe asthma inadequately controlled with standard of care Read Less

This is a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to assess the efficacy and safety of Atuliflapon administered once daily over a 12-week treatment period to adult participants with moderate to severe uncontrolled asthma. Read Less

Background: - Asthma is a lung condition that causes difficulty breathing and decreased lung function. Some people with asthma have more severe disease symptoms. They may be less responsive to standard treatments such as steroids. Researchers want to compare severe asthmatics with mild or moderate asthmatics or people without asthma over a long period. This information may help identify new treatments for people whose asthma is not well controlled by standard medications. Objectives: - To compare severe asthmatics with mild or moderate asthmatics, and healthy volunteers, to study the progression and outcomes of the disease. Eligibility: Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with asthma for at least 1 year. Healthy volunteers at least 18 years of age. Design: This study will involve an initial visit to the NIH Clinical Center for all participants. Selected participants may be asked to return for repeat visits over a number of years. The test results from participants with asthma will be compared with those from the healthy volunteers. All participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Participants may (but will not necessarily) have the following tests at each visit: Complete medical history and physical exam Blood, urine, sputum, and nasal cell samples Breath tests and heart and lung function tests Six-minute walk test to measure ability to exercise Imaging studies such as chest x-rays, bone density scans, and sinus scans Allergy skin testing Vocal cord exam Overnight sleep study Participants may remain on the study for as long as they are willing to participate and do not develop health problems that will interfere with the study.
