Although commonly diagnosed using physiological measures of airflow and bronchial hyperreactivity, asthma pathophysiology is related to chronic inflammation of the airway.\n\nCurrent diagnostic evaluation and monitoring are inadequate for proposed practice guidelines. The most commonly used test for evaluation of asthma is the measurement of airflow obstruction by spirometry. The National Asthma Education Prevention Program (NAEPP) and Expert Panel Reports set forth grading of asthma severity based on the frequency of symptoms, airflow, and the need for inhaled beta-agonists. Practice guidelines outline that the goals of therapy for asthma are to: maintain normal activity with near normal parameters of lung function, prevent exacerbations that lead to tissue injury, and avoid medication toxicity. In order to facilitate these goals, NAEPP defines key components for management including disease monitoring and stepped care pharmacotherapy. Unfortunately, there is no optimal plan for monitoring inflammation, which causes us to fail in key components in management of asthma. Limited options for anti-inflammatory treatments to control asthma likewise often lead to substantial morbidities due to treatment with high doses of corticosteroids. Our AIR program plans to develop novel asthma monitoring tests and design targeted therapeutics, which altogether may reduce toxicities and improve the long-term health of patients.\n\nImpact on broad scientific advancement. Our cumulative studies provide fundamental information on the molecular mechanisms that contribute to unresolving and excessive inflammation that leads to tissue remodeling. This mechanistic knowledge is of broad scientific importance as nearly all chronic human diseases are defined by prolonged and active inflammation, with tissue destruction, and failed attempts at healing. Thus, our investigations will provide comprehensive knowledge and consequent translational deliverables that may be widely applicable as diagnostic strategies and therapies in other chronic inflammatory diseases.",[18,19,20],"Asthma","Allergic Asthma","Non-allergic Asthma",[18,19,20],"INTERVENTIONAL",[24],"EARLY_PHASE1",{"count":26,"type":27},60,"ESTIMATED",[29,38,43],{"type":30,"name":31,"description":32,"armGroupLabels":33,"otherNames":36},"DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT","Nutritional approach for asthma","participants will be provided a medium chain triglyceride supplement or placebo",[34,35],"Nutritional Approach for Asthma","Standard American Diet",[37],"MCT supplement",{"type":30,"name":39,"description":40,"armGroupLabels":41},"Low Caloric Shake","participants will be provided a low caloric dietary shake",[42],"Alternate Day Diet",{"type":44,"name":45,"description":46,"armGroupLabels":47},"BIOLOGICAL","whole lung allergen challenge","inhalation of allergens by allergic patients with or without asthma, will be used to define mechanisms underlying the development of airway inflammation",[48],"Whole Lung Allergen Challenge",[50],{"measure":51,"description":52,"timeFrame":53},"Maintaining a tolerance to Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT) additive for Asthmatics","Tolerability of the MCT will be assessed by maintenance of use of MCT by 20% or more participants over the 3 months of the study.","24 weeks",[55,58,61,64],{"measure":56,"description":57,"timeFrame":53},"Improvement of lung function by spirometry testing","Quantitative data will be collected to evaluate any improvement mechanistically in the lungs using breathing tests",{"measure":59,"description":60,"timeFrame":53},"Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire","Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire will be evaluated for any decrease in asthma symptoms by a 7 point scale. 7 is not impaired and 1 is severely impaired.
