Theo-24

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and potential efficacy of ENV-294 in adults with moderate to severe asthma who are receiving background treatment with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting beta₂-agonists (LABA). Participants will take oral ENV-294 or placebo once daily for 12 weeks. The study includes a screening period of up to 28 days before randomization to confirm eligibility. Study visits and assessments will be conducted to monitor safety, measure drug levels in the blood, and evaluate effects on asthma control and lung function.

The purpose of the study is to enroll participants with uncontrolled asthma to evaluate the large and small airways and drug delivery utilizing two study drugs: * Beclometasone dipropionate/Formoterol fumarate dihydrate/Glycopyrronium bromide (BDP/FF/G) or Trimbow * Fluticasone furoate/Umeclidinium/Vilanterol (FluF/UMEC/VI ) or Trelegy Ellipta

This study aims to compare the efficacy of a one-time IM dose of dexamethasone versus a 5-day course of prednisone in adult ED patients presenting with asthma exacerbations. This is a randomized, controlled, double-blind, non-inferiority trial conducted at two urban EDs within the Montefiore Health System.

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.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of brenipatide at different dose levels compared with placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe asthma. Study participation will last approximately 65 weeks, including screening, treatment, and follow-up periods.

This is a pilot study to evaluate the role digital inhaler technology on patients with obstructive lung disease in preventing admissions and exacerbation, as well as improving symptom control. The primary objective is to evaluate feasibility of study protocol, patient recruitment, and patient retention with goal recruitment of 20 participants, 60% recruitment success, and 60% retention rate for 6 months duration. The secondary objectives are the evaluation of patient admission rate, exacerbation rates, and symptoms control with use of digital inhaler technology The subject population will be patients with physician diagnosed obstructive lung disease.

This is a parallel, Phase 2/Phase 3, 3-arm study to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) treatment with lunsekimig compared with placebo in adult participants (aged 40 to 80 years, inclusive) with inadequately controlled Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype. Participation to the study consists of 3 periods: * Screening period of up to 4 weeks * Randomized intervention period of approximately 48 weeks * Follow-up period: Approximately 8 weeks The study duration will be up to 60 weeks.

The goal of this study is to learn whether patients who have a genetic mutation in the genes that cause alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency also have genetic variation in nearby genes that can increase risk for reduced immune function and respiratory infections. To investigate this hypothesis, we will compare immune responses to the 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20, Pfizer) between participants who have one abnormal copy of the SERPINA1 gene and either no COPD exacerbations, vs those with 2 or more COPD exacerbations in the past year.

Although COPD self-management treatment programs are effective in reducing COPD-related hospitalizations and increasing quality of life, there is a limited understanding of 'how and why' they work. The proposed research will use an engineering-inspired study design to identify effective COPD self-management treatment components and guide its 'real world' implementation. The long-term goal of this line of research is to build an optimized COPD self-management program, and scale the program up to reduce the burden of COPD at a population health level.

This study is testing the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of GB-0895.

The purpose of this randomized study is to demonstrate direct clinical benefit, i.e., observed benefits in how humans with COPD feel in terms of symptoms (e.g., cough frequency, shortness of breath, and other respiratory symptoms) and function (e.g., lung function, and six-minute walking test \[6MWT\]) after switching to THS compared to continuing to smoking cigarettes.
