The Corning Center for Clinical Research is an affiliate of Smith Allergy & Asthma Specialists of Central NY. The Center was founded by Dr. Christopher Smith to assist with the evaluation of new investigational medications, treatments and protocols for pulmonary diseases and other medical conditions.
Participating in clinical trials is a valuable way to advance medical research. As a volunteer, you help researchers find new treatments and improve existing ones while ensuring participant safety. You’ll gain access to advanced healthcare and join a community dedicated to impactful medical solutions. Your involvement could lead to breakthroughs that benefit many, so consider joining a clinical trial today.
Children’s Rescue Inhaler Asthma Study
This study is researching how well Fluticasone Propionate and Albuterol Sulfate work together as a rescue inhaler in children and adults with asthma. Adding an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) such as Fluticasone Propionate into rescue inhalers helps to relieve asthma symptoms and prevent flare-ups. Albuterol is a bronchodilator, which works to open the airway to help you breathe better. Fluticasone Propionate and Albuterol are FDA approved medications for ages 4 and older to control asthma symptoms.

What is Perennial Allergic Rhinitis or PAR?
Perennial allergic rhinitis causes typical allergy symptoms like nasal congestion and a runny nose. However, unlike some other allergies, symptoms are present year-round and not just during certain seasons or months of the year.

Lyme Vaccine Study:
What to expect
- If your child or teen is interested in participating, the study team may schedule a pre-study visit to determine if this study is a good fit for him/her.
- Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive the study vaccine or placebo (an injection that looks like the study vaccine but does not contain any active ingredients).
- Participants are 3 times more likely to receive the study vaccine than placebo. Participants, parents, and doctors will not know which has been assigned.
- Participants will receive 4 shots in the upper arm: 3 in the first 6 months, and a booster 1 year later.
- Participants will be enrolled for about 2 years, including 6 planned in-office visits and 2 follow-up phone calls.
- Participants may be reimbursed up to $1,276 for study-related expenses like travel.
