A Translational Study to Describe Asthma Patient Clinical Characteristics, Treatment Patterns, Biomarkers and to Identify Phenotypes and Endotypes associated with Differential Outcomes that may Support Future Development of Personalised Treatment Strategies in Chinese Population

The purpose of this clinical study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called tilrekimig) for the potential treatment of severe asthma. Asthma is a condition that makes it challenging to breathe, which negatively impacts the quality of life of people who are affected. The study is seeking participants who: * Have a history of severe asthma for at least 12 months * Have had at least 2 asthma attacks (also known as exacerbations) within the last 12 months All participants will be given shots of study medicine or a placebo at the study clinic. The study will compare the experiences of people receiving tilrekimig to those people who receive the placebo. This will help determine if tilrekimig is safe and effective.

To assess the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in pediatric participants with severe uncontrolled asthma on medium to high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and at least one additional asthma controller medication with or without oral corticosteroids.

Despite the overwhelming focus on genetic and genomic causes of human disease over the past two decades, it has been estimated that genetics is currently known to explain only 20% and 40% of the etiology of common disease. Thus, it is becoming increasingly apparent that human disease is a consequence of both genetic susceptibility and environmental exposures. Importantly, while individuals cannot change their genetic composition, we do have the ability both personally and as a society, to influence our environment, promoting health and decreasing the risk of disease. The Personalized Environment and Genes Study (PEGS) aims to determine how the environment and gene-environment interactions can inform our understanding of human health and disease. As science has evolved, so too has the science of this project. This evolution was reflected in a change in the title of this project from the Environmental Polymorphisms Registry (EPR) to the Personalized Environment and Genes Study (PEGS) to more accurately reflect the science that can be conducted. PEGS is a unique resource because of the depth of environmental phenotyping which includes extensive information from exposome surveys, as well as whole genome sequencing on a significant number of participants in the cohort. While it is small relative to genomic cohorts, none of these have the extensive environmental data that is present in PEGS. In addition, other cohorts with deep environmental data lack the depth of genomic data that is present in PEGS. Importantly, PEGS has already provided important analytic advances that are of great interest to and can be confirmed in larger cohorts such as All of Us. The Personalized Environment and Genes Study (PEGS) aims to provide a resource for environmental health translational research by examining gene-environment interactions in health and disease. PEGS is an extension of two previous efforts where it began as a pilot study, the Environmental Polymorphisms Study (EPS; IRB# 02E9004) and was approved subsequently as a full protocol titled the Environmental Polymorphisms Registry (EPR) (IRB #04-E-N0053 and transitioned to its current ID# 04-E-0053). The EPR was envisioned as a phenotype-by-genotype registry of participants who had donated DNA samples, and who had agreed to be contacted for follow-up clinical translational studies based on their DNA genotypes. At the time, the only information available was a participant s age, sex, race, and ethnicity. Further phenotyping of a participant and/or any biospecimens obtained were investigated during a follow-up translational clinical study on participants recruited based on their genotype (hence phenotype-by-genotype) and the PEGS was the first recruit-by- genotype study at the NIH. Following a period focused on recruiting approximately 15,000 participants to enable genotyping of rare (approximately 1% minor allele frequency) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the PEGS Consortium Project was undertaken in 2010- 2011 to examine, using the DNA of nearly 4,000 participants, approximately 700 SNPs in approximately 80 environmental response genes that work in concert with environmental exposures to elicit a phenotype. Several clinical follow-up studies, genotype-phenotype association studies, and publications have resulted from the PEGS Consortium Project. To expand phenotype information available to researchers, the Health and Exposure Questionnaire was administered between 2013-2014. In 2017, a more detailed Exposome Questionnaire which includes questions relating to the external and internal exposome was administered. This was an important resource through which to integrate exposures with genotype-phenotype association studies. Whole genome sequencing has now been performed on approximately 4700 participants who were reconsented for this purpose, as indicated above. Questionnaire data was fully adjudicated and combined in a robust and searchable database. With the increased power of the data available, the project was renamed as the Personalized Environment and Genes Study (PEGS) and rolled out in Sept. 2021. ...

The main aim of the study to describe the characteristics of participants with asthma across the spectrum of disease severity, including sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, treatment and disease burden, biomarkers, and both disease-specific and generic health-related quality of life. The study consists of two parts: a cross-sectional study, and a prospective follow-up evaluate changes in disease trajectories in participants with asthma.

ARES is a multi-centre, retrospective-prospective, non-comparative and non-interventional (observational) cohort study involving primary and secondary data collection within real-world settings of participants who have initiated tezepelumab (no more than 4 weeks before inclusion) for treatment of CRSwNP (with or without comorbid asthma).

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of budesonide/albuterol metered-dose inhaler (BDA MDI) with albuterol sulfate metered-dose inhaler (AS MDI), both administered as needed, on the annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations in adolescents with a documented clinical diagnosis of asthma and at least one severe exacerbation in the prior year.

Background: \- Innate immunity is the process by which white blood cells and other parts of the immune system sense and respond to potential infections by causing an inflammation. Researchers are interested in studying how the body responds to certain environmental factors, and whether the body s response can contribute to chronic illnesses or diseases such as asthma and certain types of cancers. Objectives: \- To examine how specific genes and proteins in blood cells respond to environmental exposures. Eligibility: \- Healthy volunteers between 18 and 45 years of age. Design: * The study will involve one visit of 45 to 60 minutes. * Participants will be screened with a brief physical examination and finger stick to determine if they are eligible to donate blood for the study, and will complete a questionnaire about any medications or other drugs (e.g., cigarettes) they may be taking. * Participants will provide a blood sample for research purposes.

The purpose of this study is to assess how well JNJ-95597528 works when compared to placebo in adult participants with moderate to severe asthma (long-term condition that affects the airways in your lungs).

Asthma affects the lower respiratory tract (bronchi), whereas chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) involves the upper airways. Despite this anatomical distinction, the upper and lower airways form a continuous respiratory tract and share common pathophysiological mechanisms. Consequently, asthma and CRSwNP frequently coexist, and several therapeutic strategies are effective for both conditions. Given these overlaps, we hypothesize that a multidisciplinary consultation involving both a pulmonologist and an ENT specialist could be more effective than separate consultations for patient care. We also believe that this innovative organization that would benefit the healthcare system. To test this hypothesis, we are conducting a study whose primary objective is to assess whether joint consultations lead to a reduction in oral corticosteroid need over the year following the initial consultation, by enabling more personalized treatment strategies. Secondary outcomes will include the frequency of asthma exacerbations, frequency of ENT-related events, respiratory symptoms, quality of life, and healthcare ressources utilization. We will compare outcomes between two patient groups: one receiving joint consultation from both specialists, and the other managed through standard, separate consultations as per current clinical practice.

This study will evaluate the effect of triple ICS/LAMA/LABA therapy with a BDP/FF/GB 100/6/12.5 µg on asthma control outcomes relative to ICS/LABA therapy with BDP/FF 200/6 μg in a population with asthma poorly controlled.
