Asthma Clinical Trials in New York, NY

The study is being conducted to evaluate the effect of 3 dosing regimens of povorcitinib on pulmonary function Read Less

This is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial of dupilumab adjunctive therapy for prevention of asthma exacerbations in urban children and adolescents with T2-high exacerbation-prone 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 this study is to assess the PD equivalence of the approved asthma combination therapy, BDA, delivered using the proposed replacement propellant HFO compared with BDA delivered using the currently approved propellant HFA in participants with asthma. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of budesonide/albuterol metered-dose inhaler (BDA MDI) with albuterol sulfate metered-dose inhaler (AS MDI), both administered as needed, on the annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations in adolescents with a documented clinical diagnosis of asthma and at least one severe exacerbation in the prior year.

Asthma affects 8% of the United States population ages \>60 years and causes considerable harm: older adults are 4 times more likely to die from asthma and have twice the risk of hospitalization. The burden of asthma is notably greater among minoritized older adults. Research suggests that perception of expiratory airflow limitation may be a major determinant of asthma outcomes in older adults, and that older adults are substantially less aware of airway obstruction than younger adults. These observations suggest that perception of airflow limitation is a potential target for improving outcomes of older patients with asthma. The research team completed a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an intervention that trains older adults with asthma to better perceive expiratory airway obstruction through feedback via peak expiratory flow (PEF) prediction and couples this feedback with motivational interviewing (MI) to promote change in asthma self-management behaviors. Compared to an attention control, the intervention improved PEF, perception of airflow limitation and asthma control. In this project, the research team will conduct a fully powered RCT to test the intervention's efficacy among 300 adults ages ≥60 years with uncontrolled asthma who are on controller medications (daily maintenance or as needed) recruited from underserved inner-city medical practices in New York City. Patients will be randomized to the intervention or a time and attention matched educational control. The intervention and control will be delivered in 3 sessions over 6 weeks. The study will test the impact of the intervention on perception of expiratory airflow limitation in older adults with asthma, examine the efficacy of the intervention for improvements in lung function (PEF), self-reported asthma control (Asthma Control Questionnaire \[ACQ\] scores), quality of life (Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire \[AQLQ\] scores), and emergency department and hospital use, and test the intervention's impact on mean daily ICS dose used (daily maintenance and as needed). Data will be collected at baseline, 1-month, 6-months (primary analyses of effectiveness) and 12-months post-intervention. In secondary analyses, the research team will test the sustainability of treatment effects with vs. without the booster treatment session (active booster vs. attention control booster) delivered immediately after the 6-month assessment on outcomes at 12-months.

This is a multi-center, non-interventional registry to create and maintain a database of participants to serve as a recruitment source for current and future DAIT NIAID-sponsored Childhood Asthma in Urban Settings (CAUSE) studies. Read Less

This is a one-year longitudinal, observational study of 250 urban children and adolescents with asthma and 60 without asthma, ages 6-17 years old. Participants with asthma will require daily controller therapy with inhaled corticosteroids ICS (at least Step 2 therapy). Those without asthma cannot have used asthma medications in the year prior to enrollment and cannot demonstrate bronchodilator reversibility at baseline. Phenotypic characteristics will be established at baseline, and the participants will be seen at scheduled visits over 12 months. Each participant will be asked to monitor and self-report cold symptoms and will be asked to complete up to three cold visits Read Less

Asthma affects 1 in every 12 persons in the U.S., resulting in 1.9 million ED visits annually; however, the impact of ED care on patient-reported outcomes after acute exacerbations is unknown. The proposed research will train a physician-scientist to develop a novel instrument to assess patient-reported outcomes after adult ED asthma visits, evaluate the association between ED clinical processes and patient-reported outcomes, and test the association between patient-reported outcomes and subsequent acute care utilization. The candidate will acquire skills in patient-centered research, instrument development and validation, and risk adjusted outcome measurement that will enable her transition to independence. Read Less
