Asthma Paid Clinical Trials in New York

To assess the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in pediatric participants with severe uncontrolled asthma on medium to high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and at least one additional asthma controller medication with or without oral corticosteroids. 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.

This is a prospective, real-world, single arm, global, multi-centre study to evaluate the effect of timely treatment with mepolizumab (NUCALA) to achieve clinical remission in adult participants with severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype (SA-EP). 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 study is an efficacy-implementation trial to: 1. evaluate systematically the efficacy of BREATHE in 200 Black adults receiving care at urban federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) for uncontrolled asthma; and 2. identify multi-level barriers and facilitators to the widespread adoption and implementation of BREATHE in FQHCs.

Children with asthma from communities that experience health inequities frequently do not receive guideline-based asthma care, and as a result, account for a disproportionate percentage of asthma exacerbations, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations. Project ASTHMA (Aligning with Schools To Help Manage Asthma) tests the effectiveness of school-based health centers as a delivery model to improve health outcomes by providing children with guideline-based asthma assessments and preventive medication management, directly observed therapy of their preventive medication to support adherence, and self-management support. If successful, this multicomponent intervention will represent a cost effective and sustainable model to reduce asthma morbidity in historically marginalized communities, and has the potential to impact communities throughout the United States where over 2,500 school-based health centers operate.

Respiratory signs and symptoms consisting of wheeze, cough, and breathlessness are obtained in a manual fashion through history taking and physical examination by the healthcare professional. Auscultation of the lung assesses airflow through the trachea-bronchial tree and is helpful in diagnosing various respiratory disorders. AeviceMD is a wearable device that can acquire and process lung sounds, thus assisting in the detection of abnormal lung sounds. The primary objective of this study is to determine if AeviceMD can detect wheeze of pediatrics and adults as accurately as a physician through auscultation. The secondary objective is to investigate if AeviceMD can be used for remote auscultation of breath sounds. Read Less

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

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Fluticasone Furoate (FF)/ Umeclidinium (UMEC)/ Vilanterol (VI) on lung function compared with FF/VI after 24 weeks of treatment. 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.

Patient Power is a patient research network and database (registry) to collect prospective information about demographics, self-reported diagnoses and medications, and willingness to participate in research from participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), other musculoskeletal conditions, chronic neurological conditions like migraine, chronic pulmonary conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, autoimmune dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, and other chronic inflammatory or immune-mediated conditions. In addition, since patients with chronic conditions often have other co-morbidities like cardiovascular health and obesity-related metabolic disorders, these conditions will also be included. Participants will provide information from their smartphones or personal computers. The information will be used by researchers and clinicians to help patients and their providers make better, more informed decisions about treatment of chronic conditions. Read Less
