This trial studies whether an early steroid treatment can lower the chance that children will go on to develop asthma after their first severe “wheezing” episode caused by a rhinovirus (a common cold virus). If you qualify, the goal is to prevent future asthma rather than just treat the current episode.
This study measures blood levels of high-dose steroid medicines (prednisolone or related steroids) to understand how the body processes them in different real-life situations. It may help improve how steroids are dosed and monitored for people needing short-term or longer-term anti-inflammatory treatment.
This study tests a slow-release form of the hormone DHEA as an add-on treatment for asthma. It aims to see if it can improve asthma control and reduce inflammation, possibly helping you breathe better.
This study tests a new medicine called depemokimab, given as an injection, to see if it can reduce asthma attacks in people with a specific type of asthma (type 2 high). If you have had asthma for several years and have had recent attacks despite using regular inhalers, this trial might be an option for you.
This study looks at whether a new approach can help more people get connected with asthma specialists after an emergency room visit. If you have asthma and recently went to the ER, this trial may help you get expert follow-up care to better manage your condition.
This trial tests if a different steroid (dexamethasone) is as good as the usual steroid for treating children with asthma attacks in the Emergency Department. It aims to make treatment easier for children.
