Active clinical trials for "Respiratory Tract (Lung and Bronchial) Diseases"

Recent advances have been made in prevention of the viral infection via vaccines but there is still need for effective treatment options for patients. Novel therapies need to be developed to further improve clinical outcomes. The biggest medical challenge in the response to COVID-19 is ARDS requiring hospitalization in an intensive care setting and ventilator dependence. Intravenously administered umbilical cord derived exosomes and stem cells have been reported in literature to alleviate pulmonary distress in such patients. The purpose of this study is to explore the safety and benefits of intravenous administration of WJPure and EVPure in the treatment of COVID-19 patients with moderate to severe ARDS. .

Olfactory dysfunction is a defining symptom of COVID-19 infection. Studies have demonstrated improved olfaction in patients with post infectious olfactory dysfunction after an olfactory training (OT). The aim of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes of olfactory training (12 weeks) therapy in the treatment of persistent olfactory dysfunctions after COVID-19. Specially, we aim to compare the effectiveness of two different olfactory training (different odors) with a placebo group. A group will train themselves with 4 scents (rose, orange, clove and eucalyptus) and another group with 4 different scents (cheese, coffee, strawberries and lemon). The placebo group will train themselves with an odorless substance. Olfaction sensory evaluation will be performed by using different olfaction tests (Sniffin' Sticks and UPSIT) and complete questionnaires to assess olfactory perception and particularly parosmia and phantosmia.

HS-10375 is an oral, highly selective, small molecular inhibitor of EGFR C797S. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of HS-10375 in Chinese advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

This study is a Phase I/II open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and an anti-tumor activity of JIN-A02, a 4th generation EGFR-TKI agent for oral administration, in EGFR mutant-positive, advanced NSCLC subjects who showed disease progression after receiving standard anticancer therapy, including approved EGFR-TKI therapy and/or no more than a single platinum-based anticancer chemotherapy. In Part A of the study, dose escalation is carried out where MTD is evaluated using Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design in subjects with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR-mutation of C797S or T790M. In Part B, dose exploration is carried out to further evaluate the safety of JIN-A02 and to determine the RP2D using 2 preliminary effective dose levels and with the help of a safety review committee (SRC) in advanced NSCLC subjects harboring EGFR mutant C797S or T790M. In Part C dose expansion study, subjects with EGFR mutant who show disease progression after receiving standard anticancer therapy, including approved EGFR-TKI therapy with activity against T790M such as Osimertinib and/or no more than one platinum-based anticancer chemotherapy, are divided into 5 different cohorts based on the EGFR mutation and the anti-tumor activity of JIN-A02 is evaluated. Before enrollment in the study, the EGFR mutant profile is determined using either tumor tissue and/or plasma ctDNA. The profile is determined locally through a test method approved by the sponsor. The sponsor reviews and approves each potential subject for enrollment. Study eligibility evaluation will utilize local test(s).

This study is being done to understand body's response to hybrid home-based and on-site rehabilitation program utilizing individually tailored exercises throughout a total of 18 sessions with 12 of them occurring onsite, in people with and without chronic respiratory diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and in individuals recovered from COVID-19. Exercise training programs vary widely for people with COPD, OSA, and during prolonged recovery from COVID infection. This study will help identify if this program is helpful to address muscle loss and fatigue specifically in populations with and without chronic respiratory diseases.

This is a Phase 1b, single center study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSK3923868 following repeat doses in mild asthmatics during experimental human rhinovirus 16 (HRV-16) infection. The study will be conducted in two parts. Part A will determine the efficacy of GSK3923868 administration after viral inoculation (i.e., therapeutic treatment) and Part B may be undertaken to determine the efficacy of GSK3923868 administration before viral inoculation (i.e., prophylactic treatment). The purpose of this study is to establish proof-of-mechanism that GSK3923868 treatment can reduce symptoms of Human Rhinovirus (HRV) infection in a controlled setting.

A Randomised, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Placebo-Controlled 28-week Phase 3 Efficacy and Safety Study of Tezepelumab in Reducing Oral Corticosteroid Use in Adults with Oral Corticosteroid Dependent Asthma

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the most important infectious disease in the world. A major barrier to tuberculosis control is poor adherence to long-term and complex treatment regimens. This is a multicenter prospective, non-inferiority randomized controlled study. The purpose of our study is a) to evaluate the tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of the high-dose rifapentine, b) to evaluate whether the high-dose rifapentine-containing regimen has the potential to treat the rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis and shorten the course of treatment to 17 weeks. This study is of great significance for shortening the course of treatment, reducing the adverse reactions and economic burden of patients' treatment in rifampicin-sensitive tuberculosis patient.

Different studies have suggested that COPD is associated with elevated alveolar NO and increased expression of NOS2 in alveolar walls, small airway epithelium and vascular smooth muscle. Furthermore, arginase activity in COPD is shown to correlate inversely with total NO metabolite in sputum and with pre- and post- bronchodilator FEV1; at the same time ADMA levels in serum is shown to be correlated with airway resistance and ADMA in COPD airways was documented to be able to shift the L-arginine metabolism towards the arginase pathway. As demonstrated in a guinea model, the arginase inhibition can shift the L-ornitine:L-citrulline ratio towards L-citrulline, preventing neutrophilia, mucus hypersecretion and collagen synthesis. Thus, increasing substrate availability for NOS by arginase inhibition or supplementation of L-arginine or L-citrulline or a combination thereof, may represent a window of opportunity in patients with COPD. Our study was constructed in order to investigate as a primary objective whether in symptomatic patients with COPD, daily bioarginine on top of chronic inhaled therapy can improve respiratory symptoms and dyspnea during daily life activities. The secondary objective of this study is to determine whether there is any correlation between improvement in respiratory symptoms and distance walked at the 6MWT and lung function parameters. In order to do so, we designed a multi center, interventional, prospective, randomized, controlled vs placebo, proof of concept study: COPD patients will be randomized to receive BioArginine twice daily on top of chronic inhaled therapy or to continue their chronic Inhaled therapy plus placebo for 6 weeks. In order to evaluate the impact on respiratory symptoms and dyspnea the CRQ (Chronic Respiratory disease Questionnaire) and the LCADL (London Chest Activities of daily Living) Scale, as well as the 6MWT, will be used.
