Acceptability of an orodispersible film compared to syrup in neonates and infants: A randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: Reliable pediatric pharmacotherapy in all age groups requires the availability of age-appropriate drug administration. Orodispersible films (ODF) are a promising pediatric oral dosage form. ODFs would meet relevant targets: one dosage form matching the full range of pediatric patients, a minimum of non-toxic excipients, a stable drug formulation easily to be produced.

ProKaSaRe Study Protocol: A Prospective Multicenter Study of Pulmonary Rehabilitation of Patients With Sarcoidosis.

Background: Available data assessing the efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with chronic sarcoidosis are scant; for Germany, there are none at all.

Objective: To gain information about the benefit of in-house pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with chronic sarcoidosis and for the health care system, we intend to collect data in a prospective multicenter "real-life" cohort trial.

Methods: ProKaSaRe (Prospektive Katamnesestudie Sarkoidose in der pneumologischen Rehabilitation) [Prospective Catamnesis Study of Sarcoidosis in Pulmonary Rehabilitation] will assess a multimodal 3-week inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program for adult patients with chronic sarcoidosis over a 1-year follow-up time.
