NCT00071552	Efficacy of QVAR vs Flovent Diskus on Small Airways in Poorly Controlled Asthmatic Adolescents/Adult Patients	Terminated	Teva Branded Pharmaceutical Products, R&D Inc.	Phase 4	The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of Beclomethasone dipropionate HFA on small airways compared to Fluticasone propionate powder for inhalation administered twice daily to poorly controlled asthmatics.
NCT00120978	Can Advair and Flovent Reduce Systemic Inflammation Related to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)? A Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Trial	Unknown status	GlaxoSmithKline	Phase 4	Large population-based studies suggest that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are 2 to 3 times at risk for cardiovascular mortality, which accounts for a large proportion of the total number of deaths. How COPD increases the risk of poor cardiovascular outcomes is largely unknown. However, there is growing evidence that persistent low-grade systemic inflammation is present in COPD and that this may contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease among COPD patients. Inflammation and more specifically, C-reactive protein (CRP), has been linked with all stages of atherosclerosis, including plaque genesis, rupture and subsequent thrombo-fibrosis of vulnerable vessels. Recently, our group has demonstrated in a relatively small study that short-term inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy can repress serum CRP levels in stable COPD patients. Conversely, withdrawal of ICS leads to a marked increase in serum CRP levels. Although very promising, these data cannot be considered definitive because the study was small in size and scope (N=41 patients). Additionally, this study did not address the potential effects of combination therapy with ICS and long-acting β2 agonists (LABA). This is an important short-coming because combination therapy of ICS and LABA have been shown to produce improved clinical outcomes over ICS monotherapy and is commonly used by clinicians in the treatment of moderate to severe COPD. We hypothesize that inhaled fluticasone (Flovent®) reduces systemic inflammation and that combination therapy (Advair®) is more effective than steroids alone in reducing systemic inflammation in COPD. In this proposal, we will implement a randomized controlled trial to determine whether ICS by themselves or in combination with LABAs can: 1. reduce CRP levels in stable COPD patients and 2. reduce other pro-inflammatory cytokines, which have been linked with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)

NCT00452348	A 12-Month Study Comparing Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol (ADVAIR) DISKUS Combination Product 250/50mcg Twice Daily To Fluticasone Propionate (FLOVENT) DISKUS 250 mcg Twice Daily In Symptomatic Patients With Asthma	Completed	GlaxoSmithKline	Phase 4	This purpose of this study is to show the superiority and long term safety and efficacy of adding a long acting beta agonist (salmeterol) to constant dose of an inhaled corticosteroid (fluticasone propionate) in symptomatic subjects with asthma. The 12-month assessment of asthma control will provide key information on the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy. The safety measure will be an assessment of adverse events
NCT00452699	A 12-Month Study Comparing Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol (ADVAIR) DISKUS Combination Product 250/50mcg BID To Fluticasone Propionate (FLOVENT) DISKUS 250 mcg BID In Symptomatic Subjects With Asthma	Completed	GlaxoSmithKline	Phase 4	This purpose of this study is to show the superiority and long term safety and efficacy of adding a long acting beta agonist (salmeterol) to constant dose of an inhaled corticosteroid (fluticasone propionate) in symptomatic subjects with asthma.

NCT00705341	MethaCholine Bronchoprovocation Study (MeCIS)	Completed	Baylor College of Medicine	Phase 4	The purpose of this research is to evaluate the methacholine challenge test as an accurate indicator of asthma in patients receiving treatment for asthma. Phase 1 on the study compares methacholine challenge test results from asthma patients to those from people who do not have asthma. In phase 2, test results for people with asthma on low dose inhaled corticosteroid will be compared to results on high dose inhaled corticosteroids. Both males and females with stable asthma (asthma participants) and without asthma (controls) enrolled. Participants will be between 12 and 69 years of age.
