Ventilation and Perfusion in Individuals With Asthma
University of Miami
Summary
Assess regional changes to perfusion and ventilation from inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and Fast-acting beta-antagonist (FABA) among adult asthmatics using radiographically derived estimates of regional ventilation (V-distribution), ventilation defect percentage (VDP), and ventilation heterogeneity (VH).
Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria: * Physician diagnosis of asthma * Baseline Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) \< 80% of predicted, with reversibility (10%) on post-bronchodilator spirometry * Adults, 18-75 years of age * Long-term inhaled controller medication consisting of or including an Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) at a steady dose for at least 3 months before enrollment Exclusion Criteria: * Current cigarette smoking or a past history of \>10 pack-year smoking * Current nicotine vaping * Pregnant and breast-feeding women * Respiratory infection within 4 weeks of proposed study date * Forc…
Interventions
- DrugAlbuterol Sulfate
Visit 1: Albuterol Sulfate (90mcg) two puffs will be administered via metered-dose inhaler (MDI) with spacer during the baseline study visit to obtain baseline imaging values.
- DrugAlbuterol-Budesonide
Visit 2: AIRSUPRA (Albuterol/Budesonide) (90mcg/80mcg) two puffs will be administered via MDI with spacer during this study visit. This intervention is used to evaluate its effect on ventilation defect percentage (VDP), ventilation heterogeneity (VH), and perfusion metrics derived from XV LVAS imaging
