C-mo System 1.0's Validation - Cough Monitoring
Cough is one of the most reported symptoms, especially associated with respiratory diseases. Additionally, cough contains extremely insightful information regarding the patient's health. It is a symptom full of physiopathological information, which can be extremely helpful in clinical practice. However, cough is not currently used as a clinical biomarker given …
Plant Stanol Esters and Preventing Asthma Symptoms
Plant stanols are known to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, studies have suggested that these compounds also influence the immune system. Asthmatic responses are predominantly T helper (Th)2 cell dependent, while plant stanols were previously found to activate Th1 cells and shift the immune response away from the Th2 cell …
Exploring the Utility of Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI in Healthy Volunteers and Patients With Lung Disease
This is a single centre exploratory study that aims to apply hyperpolarized xenon-129 (129Xe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods and measurements in individual patients with and without lung disease to better understand lung structure and function and evaluate response to therapy delivered as a part of clinical care.
Intragastric Balloon in Obese Patients With Uncontrolled Asthma
The aim of this project is to study the effect of an intragastric balloon (IGB) on asthma control in obese patients. Obese patients with uncontrolled asthma will be recruited and randomly assigned to two intervention arms : an intragastric balloon combined with diet and exercise versus diet and exercise alone …
The Airports, Air Quality, and Asthma (AAA) Study
For children with asthma, exposure to indoor air pollution increases the risk of a serious asthma exacerbation, which can be life-threatening. Interventions aimed at improving indoor air quality, including use of a portable air cleaner with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, can reduce this risk, but the effectiveness, feasibility …
BenRalizumab Effect on Airway Remodeling in Severe asTHma
Response to biologic therapies in severe asthma is variable, with patients being either non-responders, responders or super-responders. There is currently no explanation for this broad variation in response. It is important to examine whether these patients have distinct characteristics that could help the treating physician in making the correct diagnosis …
Cohort Multiple Randomized Controlled Trial in Pediatric Asthma
The overarching goal of this study is to optimize pediatric asthma care and to continuously evaluate variations/innovations of the care (including transformation to remote eHealth care). Primary Objectives within cmRCT cohort: Provide a framework for multiple randomized (eHealth) interventions for asthmatic children Generate short- and long-term data on Quality of …
Treating Exacerbations of Asthma With Oral Montelukast in Children
This research will establish a mg/kg dose for a future RCT to determine the efficacy of high-dose oral montelukast for children with moderate and severe acute asthma exacerbations. Aim: Perform an adaptive, double-masked randomized controlled trial (RCT) of high-dose oral montelukast, with escalating mg/kg dose levels determined by PK-guided dose …
Feasibility of a Smartphone Application for Asthma Self-management
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 …
Inspiratory Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Children With Obesity and Asthma
This is a single-center, randomized, SHAM-controlled, parallel assignment, double-masked,8-week interventional study among children aged 8-17 years (not yet 18 years old) of age with obesity and asthma. (n=60), recruited from Duke Health Center Creekstone, to test the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle rehabilitation (IMR) as an acceptable add-on intervention to reduce …
