Limited data suggests that early initiation of combination therapy within 2 years of symptom onset may prevent lung function loss with asthma.\u00a0Dr. Subbarao\u2019s team has developed tools that can earlier detect obstructive lung disease in infants and preschool children.\u00a0 She has shown that although Lung Clearance Index (LCI) is responsive and improves with recovery after acute exacerbation; abnormalities in LCI can persist in 50% of children who have fully recovered and are asymptomatic clinically. It is unclear whether these changes are fixed or reparable with appropriate therapy.\u00a0To assess the utility of LCI as a clinical objective measure for preschool asthma clinical trials, Dr. Subbarao will conduct a pilot randomized controlled study of a combination inhaled steroid\/long-acting bronchodilator in preschool children with LCI abnormalities after recovery from acute wheezing exacerbation.\u00a0She will validate this model using a known therapeutic and then use this model to test other more novel biologic therapies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: smaller\"><span style=\"color: #c73d56\"><strong>Anticipated impacts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: smaller\"><b>Clinical<\/b>:\u00a0The generation of a preschool asthma clinical trial model will revolutionize our ability to evaluate novel therapeutics in young children objectively.\u00a0This will increase our therapeutic options for this age group.

It has already generated many <a href=\"https:\/\/childstudy.ca\/portfolio\/key-discoveries\/#asthma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insights into early-life factors influencing the development of asthma<\/a>.\u00a0 To date, more than a dozen CIHR team projects are dependent on this cohort&#8217;s data and biorepository.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: smaller\">CHILD researchers are actively following the Study participants over time as they grow and develop\u2014from mid-pregnancy into childhood and adolescence. CHILD is designed this way so it can collect information at time points that are considered to be especially critical to the health and development of children. By following the children prospectively as they grow, as opposed to retrospectively, CHILD researchers are able to more accurately learn about how different early-life exposures relate to health and disease outcomes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: smaller\">Almost <strong>3500 families<\/strong> are participating in the Study, in <strong>four sites<\/strong> across Canada. Questionnaires, home environment assessments, clinical assessments, and biological sample collection are the main measures employed to explore the exposures that can lead to health and disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: smaller\">CHILD findings will influence medical practice, parenting choices, consumer product regulation and policy development\u2014from building codes and household purchasing behaviours to decisions about childbirth and delivery, diet , breastfeeding, cleaning products used in homes, owning a family pet and dealing with stress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: smaller\">CHILD is the largest multidisciplinary, longitudinal, population-based birth cohort study in Canada and is designed to be one of the most informative studies of its kind in the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: smaller\">The Toronto CHILD site investigators are especially interested in <strong>respiratory health<\/strong>\u00a0and the connection to other conditions such as allergy and eczema. As part of the on-site testing at The Hospital for Sick Children, several lung function tests are used to investigate quantitative measure of lung health. Earlier diagnosis of respiratory issues can lead to better health outcomes for children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #de4561;font-size: smaller\"><span style=\"color: #c73d56\"><strong>Research Methods<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\"><strong>Lung Function Tests:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller;margin-top: .5em\">Spirometry<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Multiple Breath Washout\u00a0(MBW)<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Exhaled Nitric Oxide\u00a0(eNO)<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Forced Oscillation Technique\u00a0(FOT)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Child\u2019s Biological Samples:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller;margin-top: .5em\">Blood<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Urine<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Stool<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Nasal swab<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Teeth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Questionnaires about:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller;margin-top: .5em\">Child\u2019s medical, behavioral, and nutritional health<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Parent physical and mental health<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Indoor and outdoor home environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Allergy skin prick test<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Clinical assessment by a health care professional<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"color: #de4561;margin-top: 1.5em;font-size: smaller\"><span style=\"color: #c73d56\"><strong>Anticipated impacts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Achieve<\/strong> a deeper understanding of the influence of indoor and outdoor environment on health and disease<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Inform<\/strong> personalized medical practice, parenting choices, consumer product regulations and policy development for healthy communities<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Contribute<\/strong> to the development of new diagnostics and therapies, and of better health management and prevention strategies for a variety of chronic diseases in young children<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-bea7053802659eb8a fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_bea7053802659eb8a\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"bea7053802659eb8a\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-95-2\" data-target=\"#bea7053802659eb8a\" href=\"#bea7053802659eb8a\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">DIVA Study<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"bea7053802659eb8a\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_bea7053802659eb8a\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p style=\"font-size: medium\"><strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/NCT03365687\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DIVA study<\/a> (Vitamin <span style=\"font-size: larger;color: red\"><u>D I<\/u><\/span>n the prevention of <span style=\"font-size: larger;color: red\"><u>V<\/u><\/span>iral-induced <span style=\"font-size: larger;color: red\"><u>A<\/u><\/span>sthma in preschoolers) is a 7-month intensive multicenter, triple-blind, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial of vitamin D3 supplementation and its effect on asthma.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: smaller\">Children aged 1-5 (&lt;6) years with physician-diagnosed asthma predominantly triggered by upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) will be screened for enrolment in paediatric asthma, respiratory or allergy clinics and the Emergency Department (ED) and randomized between Sept 1 to January 31, annually. Eligible participants enrolled in the study will receive a high dose of vitamin D or a placebo every 3.5 months during their usual clinic visit, and a daily supplement of vitamin D or a placebo. This study will test whether children in vitamin D group have less frequent and less severe asthma exacerbations compared with those receiving placebo. The study will also document the safety profile of this strategy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: smaller\">Participants will be followed for 7 months, with 3 visits every 3.5 months with repeated urine (for calcium:creatinine ratio) and blood samples. In addition, ten (10) days after each bolus, urine will be sampled for urinary calcium:creatinine ratio. In case of elevated urine calcium:creatinine ratio, a blood sample may be needed primarily for markers of calcium metabolism and exploratory outcomes. There will be 6 follow-up phone calls, at week 1 and then monthly, to inquire about exacerbations and URTIs, remind parents to complete questionnaires and to collect a nasal swab at each exacerbation and screen for adverse events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: smaller\">The main outcome is the number of courses of rescue oral corticosteroids (OCS) per child during the study period. Several secondary outcomes will be documented using biological samples and validated questionnaires to determine laboratory-confirmed respiratory infections, intensity and severity of exacerbations, mean number of ED visits, parents&#8217; functional status during exacerbations, de-intensification of preventive asthma therapy, cost effectiveness, and safety profile.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #de4561;font-size: smaller\"><span style=\"color: #c73d56\"><strong>Research Methods<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\"><strong>Lung Function Tests:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller;margin-top: .5em\">Forced Oscillation Technique\u00a0(FOT) \u2013 only in children &gt;3 years of age<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Child\u2019s Biological Samples:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller;margin-top: .5em\">Blood<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Urine<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Nasal swab<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Questionnaires about:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller;margin-top: .5em\">Child\u2019s health<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Asthma control<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Parental impact of illness<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Dietary intake (particularly calcium and vitamin D)<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: smaller\">Sun exposure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"color: #de4561;margin-top: 1.5em;font-size: smaller\"><span style=\"color: #c73d56\"><strong>Anticipated impacts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Inform<\/strong> whether vitamin D supplements given during the fall and winter months can reduce the frequency and severity of asthma flare-ups triggered by colds in preschool-aged children<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Influence<\/strong> the management of URTI-induced asthma in high-morbidity preschoolers<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Enable<\/strong> identification of children with greatest benefit and understanding of vitamin D modulation of immune\/inflammatory response<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 1em;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Add<\/strong> to accumulating safety data in preschoolers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\" style=\"--awb-font-size:20px;--awb-text-color:#0046ad;--awb-margin-top:80px;\"><h3>Past Studies<\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"accordian fusion-accordian\" style=\"--awb-border-size:1px;--awb-icon-size:13px;--awb-content-font-size:17px;--awb-icon-alignment:left;--awb-hover-color:#f9f9f9;--awb-border-color:#cccccc;--awb-background-color:#fcfcfc;--awb-divider-color:#e0dede;--awb-divider-hover-color:#e0dede;--awb-icon-color:#ffffff;--awb-title-color:#000044;--awb-content-color:#000044;--awb-icon-box-color:#358cc6;--awb-toggle-hover-accent-color:#5949e5;--awb-title-font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;--awb-title-font-weight:700;--awb-title-font-style:normal;--awb-title-font-size:20px;--awb-content-font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;--awb-content-font-style:normal;--awb-content-font-weight:400;\"><div class=\"panel-group fusion-toggle-icon-boxed\" id=\"accordion-95-3\"><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-7df8005cf48794e58 fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_7df8005cf48794e58\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"7df8005cf48794e58\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-95-3\" data-target=\"#7df8005cf48794e58\" href=\"#7df8005cf48794e58\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Wheezy ER<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"7df8005cf48794e58\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_7df8005cf48794e58\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p style=\"font-size: medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/NCT02743663?term=Wheezy&amp;cntry1=NA%3ACA&amp;draw=1&amp;rank=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Wheezy ER <\/strong><\/a><strong>was a prospective study with a cohort of preschool children with severe asthma.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: smaller\">Study participants were all seen in the Emergency Department (ED) at The Hospital for Sick Children due to acute wheeze. The Wheezy ER study team strove to better comprehend the unique characteristics of this severe asthma and wheeze cohort to better prevent and treat this population. A main objective of this study was to determine which lung function tests and clinical parameters can distinguish healthy preschool children from those with severe wheeze.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: smaller\">The Wheezy ER team completed on-site visits at SickKids within 5 days of the child being discharged from the ED. The measurements collected when the child was ill were compared to those of the same child 3 months later, allowing the unique ability to better understand, define, and predict when and why these acute wheeze episodes occur.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: smaller\">The Wheezy ER Study completed follow-up in November 2018. The study demonstrated that pulmonary function test (PFT) outcomes are abnormal in a significant number of preschool children with wheezing three months post-ED visit for acute wheeze exacerbation. This suggests that PFT outcomes could provide additional insight into preschool asthma control beyond symptom assessment alone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #de4561;font-size: smaller\"><strong>Research
