What is Albuterol Sulfate

SalbutamolThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummarySalbutamol is a medication used to treat asthma and COPD. It is 29 times more effective on the lungs than the heart, making it safer for pulmonary conditions. Salbutamol is a combination of two isomers, the R-isomer being 150 times more effective than the S-isomer. Levalbuterol, the single R-isomer of salbutamol, is more effective but more expensive than salbutamol. Salbutamol is usually used to treat sudden asthma attacks, chronic bronchitis, and COPD. It can also be used before exercise to prevent asthma symptoms.

Effectiveness

How Albuterol Sulfate Affects PatientsSalbutamol, also called albuterol, is a medicine used to relax airways and make it easier to breathe. It works by activating beta-1 and beta-2 receptors in the body. This causes the body to have a decreased blood pressure and relaxed muscles. It also may cause the body to produce more insulin and glucose. Taking salbutamol can lower potassium levels in the blood.
How Albuterol Sulfate works in the bodySalbutamol targets specific receptors in the airways and heart that cause the muscles to relax. It works by activating an enzyme, which increases the amount of a molecule called cyclic AMP. This molecule helps control the movement of ions in and out of cells, which reduces muscle tension. Salbutamol also prevents the release of mediators from cells in the airway, blocking the effects of irritants. When taken as medication, salbutamol usually starts to work within 5-15 minutes, and its effects can last for up to 6 hours.

MoblO2 for Chronic Lung Diseases

18+
All Sexes
Stanford, CA
Many patients with chronic lung disease (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease (ILD)) require supplemental oxygen (O2) at some point during their disease course. Practitioners prescribe O2 to patients with chronic lung disease in hopes of the following: 1) that it will limit desaturation events and combat breathlessness, thus preventing the frustratingly slow pace and numerous rest breaks patients are forced to adopt while doing even simple tasks; 2) that it will allow patients to be more active physically (perhaps increase their ability to exercise) and socially (perhaps leave the home more often); 3) that it will stave off putative complications of hypoxemia (e.g., cognitive dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension) and 4) that it will improve health-related quality of life (HRQL). However, despite the rationale for O2, and prescribers' good intentions, patients generally view O2 with frustration and fear - it threatens their HRQL, which is already impaired by having a condition that imposes itself on every aspect of their lives. Nasal cannulas and delivery devices call unwanted attention to patients when they are out in public. O2 users feel stigmatized and are often viewed as "smokers who get what they deserve, even if they never smoked a day in their lives" - or as disabled, sick or even infectious. O2 steals patients' independence, forcing them to plan their lives around it. The anxiety that patients and their caregivers experience around running out of oxygen, or not getting enough, immobilizes them and restricts participation in activities outside of the home. O2 disrupts the home environment, adding stress, and creating a burden for patients' caregiver-loved-ones who are often saddled with the responsibility of ensuring adequate equipment and supply of O2, and O2 is a constant reminder to patients they are living with a condition that could shorten their lives. O2 delivery equipment is typically heavy, unwieldy and intimidating. Different recommendations (e.g., insurance companies use 88% as a cut-off for SpO2, while many practitioners focus on 90%) make it confusing for patients, which almost certainly affects adherence. O2-requiringpatients are starving for things that can make their lives easier. An auto-adjusting O2 delivery device - one that automatically delivers the correct amount of O2 to maintain blood oxygen at desired, pre-set levels - would alleviate the need for patients to constantly (incessantly for many) monitor their peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and adjust O2flow to meet the demands as exertion levels vary . The MoblO2 device is a battery-operated, light-weight, closed-loop O2 delivery device that houses a regulator (which attaches to compressed gas O2 tanks) and adjusts O2 flow to meet a pre-set blood oxygen level. A pulse oximeter is worn on the ear and transmits via Bluetooth to the device, which adjusts an internal valve to control flow on a second-to-second basis. The user sets the dial to the highest flow of O2 needed to meet the demands of activities they might perform (up to 15 liters per minute), and the device adjusts flow, up to the pre-set level to maintain SpO2 at a preset level (e.g., \> 90%). To conserve O2 supply in the tank - and to avoid over-oxygenation (which could be problematic for a small percentage of patients with the most severe COPD) - the MoblO2 begins to limit O2 flow at a SpO2 of 93%. The device can be manually over-ridden by the user, and should the battery run out - or the device fail for some unforeseen reason - the default position is valve open, so the users receive whatever flow of oxygen has been set on the dial. Given the substantial burdens of O2 on patients and their families, the hassles patients describe with having to monitor their SpO2 and repeatedly adjust the flow of O2 to meet their needs, patients and experts around the world have called for improvements in O2 delivery equipment. The MoblO2 is just such a remarkable improvement and a giant step forward in helping to ease the burdens of O2 on patients who require it. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the MoblO2 O2 delivery device on a range of outcomes, including physical activity, amount (liters) O2 use; maintenance of adequate SpO2 levels; patient reported outcomes including symptoms, HRQL and satisfaction with the MoblO2 O2 device.

BPL-1357 for Flu

18 - 55
All Sexes
Bethesda, MD
Background: Influenza (flu) infections are a serious global health threat. Each year, between 3 and 5 million people get the flu, and up to 500,000 die from it. Current vaccines protect against seasonal flus, but broader vaccines are needed to protect against potential flu pandemics. Objective: To test an experimental flu vaccine. Eligibility: Healthy people aged 18 to 55 years. Design: The study will last 5 to 8 months and has 2 phases, A and B. The study vaccine will be given either as a shot in the arm or as a nasal spray. Participants will receive 1 of 3 combinations: (1) study vaccine in the nose and placebo in the arm; (2) placebo in the nose and study vaccine in the arm; or (3) placebo in the nose and placebo in the arm. A placebo is just like the real vaccine but contains no active ingredients. Phase A: Participants will have 5 clinic visits over 56 days. They will receive a shot and a nasal spray at 2 of the visits, 28 days apart. At each visit, they will have a physical exam, with tests of their blood, urine, and nasal secretions. They will check their temperature at home and record any symptoms for 7 days after each vaccine. Phase B: Participants will stay in the hospital for at least 9 days. They will be infected with a flu virus. They will provide blood, urine, and nasal fluid samples. They will have tests of their heart function. They will remain in the hospital until they test negative for the flu 2 days in a row. They will have 2 follow-up visits, 4 and 8 weeks after leaving the hospital.

High vs. Standard Dose Influenza Vaccines for Flu

18+
All Sexes
Nashville, TN
This will be a follow-up study to the "Comparison of High Dose vs. Standard Dose Influenza Vaccine in Lung Allograft Recipient" study (DMID Protocol Number 22-0014) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Lung transplantation is a life-saving therapy for patients with advanced lung disease, and is also associated with an improvement in quality of life. However, due to the need for life-long immunosuppression to prevent acute cellular rejection and chronic lung allograft dysfunction ("chronic rejection"), lung transplant recipients are at risk for developing major infections. In fact, one-year survival is 85%, with infection being the leading cause of death within the first year post-transplant. We will conduct a follow-up phase II, randomized, double-blind trial to assess the impact of subsequent administration of two doses of HD-IIV compared to two doses of SD-IIV among lung recipients during the early post-transplant period. Demonstration of improved immunogenicity from two doses of HD-IIV over consecutive influenza seasons would provide potential broad benefit in reducing influenza disease and its associated complications in lung transplant recipients. Moreover, studying vaccine immunogenicity and safety in the same participants over consecutive years can provide insight into the influence of immunosuppression levels and allograft aging on vaccine-mediated immune modulation. This proposed study design will contribute significantly to influenza vaccination guidance and policy for the highly vulnerable lung transplant population. This proposed study is designed to address several key knowledge gaps in vaccine-mediated protection of lung transplant recipients against influenza: * Is there increased immunogenicity with administration of one or two doses of HD-IIV or SD-IIV in the subsequent season compared to two doses of HD-IIV or SD-IIV in the first season? * What is the durability of the humoral and cellular immune response between influenza seasons and does two doses of HD-IIV or SD-IIV sustain higher HAI titers compared to two doses of HD-IIV or SD-IIV in the first season? * What is the impact of maintenance immunosuppression levels on influenza vaccine immunogenicity within the same participant? * Will the optimal immunogenic vaccination strategy be associated with an acceptable long-term safety profile over successive influenza seasons, including injection-site and systemic reactions, allosensitization, and organ rejection?

Part 1 Single Ascending Dose (SAD) will enroll 48 participants into six cohorts (S1-S6) to receive single oral doses of VNT-101 (100-1500 mg) or placebo under fasting or fed (S5 only) conditions. Part 2 Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) will enroll 30 participants into three cohorts (M1-M3) to receive multiple oral doses of VNT-101 (250-750 mg BID Days 1-5, QD Day 6) or placebo under fasting conditions. Dose escalation in both parts will proceed after Protocol Safety Review Team (PSRT) review. The primary objective for Part 1 is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending oral (SAD) doses of VNT-101 in healthy adult participants under either fasting or fed conditions. The primary objective for part 2 is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending oral (MAD) doses of VNT-101 in healthy adult participants.

Knoxville, TN
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of inhaled bronchodilators delivered via nebulizers vs. dry powder inhalers (DPIs) in symptomatic participants with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who have airflow obstruction (FEV1/FVC ≤ 70%) and show significant air trapping (RV ≥ 120% of predicted). The investigators hypothesize that, in patients with symptomatic COPD, therapy with a long-acting anti muscarinic agent/long-acting beta agonist (LAMA/LABA) combination administered by nebulizer will improve hyperinflation (increase in inspiratory capacity and reduction in residual volume) and reduce symptoms related to COPD to a greater extent than LAMA/LABA therapy given by a DPI. The study aims to demonstrate the following: 1. Compare the values of inspiratory capacity (IC) and residual volume (RV) in patients receiving LAMA/LABA by DPI with those receiving LAMA/LABA by nebulizer 2. Compare patient reported outcomes (COPD Assessment Test (CAT score), Baseline/Transition Dyspnea Index (BDI/TDI) and the St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) in symptomatic patients with COPD receiving LAMA/LABA by DPI with those receiving LAMA/LABA by nebulizer
