Study of Safety of Foradil in Patients with Persistent Asthma
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the risk of serious asthma-related events (asthma-related hospitalizations, asthma related intubations, and asthma related deaths) in adolescents and adults (12 years of age and older) taking inhaled formoterol fumarate/fluticasone propionate combination is the same as those taking inhaled fluticasone propionate alone.

Registry of Asthma Patients Initiating DUPIXENT®
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to characterize the patients who initiate treatment for asthma with DUPIXENT® in a real-world setting to understand the attributes of treated patients in real life. This includes characterization of patient demographics, and patient baseline characteristics (eg, prior medications and procedures, medical history, asthma history, weight, height). T
Additionally to characterize real-world use patterns, safety, and long-term effectiveness of DUPIXENT® for asthmam and to assess effectiveness on comorbid type 2 inflammatory conditions in asthma patients treated with DUPIXENT® .

A Study to Develop and Implement the Asthma-Guidance and Prediction System to Improve Management of Asthma Symptoms in Children
Rochester, MN
Asthma is the most common chronic condition in children and one of the five most burdensome diseases in the United States. However, research and care for childhood asthma is limited by an inefficient use of electronic medical records to assist with large-scale studies and care. The purpose of this study is to test the use and effectiveness of the asthma-Guidance and Prediction System (a-GPS) within the Asthma Management Program, a current care coordination program for the asthma care of children aged 5-17 years at Mayo Clinic.

A 12-week, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of QAW039 When Added to Standard-of-care Asthma Therapy in Patients With Uncontrolled Asthma
Rochester, MN
A randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo- controlled parallel-group study to determine the efficacy and safety of QAW039, compared with placebo, when added to standard-of-care (SoC) asthma therapy in adult and adolescent (≥ 12 years) patients with uncontrolled asthma with respect to change from baseline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at the end of 12 weeks of treatment.

Excretion of Mast Cell Mediators in Children with Allergic Disorders
Rochester, MN
The aim of this study is to examine the role of mast cell mediators in children with allergic disorders in a two part study. Part 1 of the study will prospectively obtain the values of mast cell mediators, including 2,3 dinor 11β-PGF2α, n-MH, and LTE4 in the urine of a healthy pediatric reference population. Part 2 of the study will prospectively evaluate the urine concentrations of mast cell mediators in a cohort of pediatric allergic disorder patients including asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, eczema, urticaria, systemic anaphylaxis, and mast cell disorders, as well as POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). Comparisons of these ...
