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

The purpose for this study is to determine if the study drug baricitinib is effective and safe in hospitalized pediatric participants with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID -19) and to confirm the dose.

This this study is for individuals who have treatment-naïve extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (small cell lung cancer that wont respond to treatment). Doctors leading this study hope to learn if combining durvalumab, carboplatin and etoposide with hyofractionated ablative radiation therapy (radiation focused on certain parts of the body) will help treat your cancer and improve how long you can live with extensive-stage small cell cancer without it getting worse (progression-free survival). Your participation in this research will last about 48 months. Durvalumab along with chemotherapy has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of small cell lung cancer along with chemotherapy. This study is testing the addition of radiation to durvalumab and chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of FWD1509 MsOH in advanced NSCLC patients and establish the maximum tolerable dose (MTD), recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) in advanced NSCLC patients.

IPF is a progressive scarring lung condition causing coughing and breathlessness. IPF patients often have reflux disease meaning stomach acid may be breathed into the lungs, potentially damaging them. Medicines which stop stomach acid production, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), can be used to reduce reflux symptoms including heartburn. Some researchers suggest PPIs also reduce IPF progression. This research aims to see if IPF progresses slower if treated with PPIs. Based on the results, we will be able to recommend whether or not IPF patients should take PPIs. This trial will involve 298 IPF patients from approximately 37 UK hospitals. At the beginning of the study, we will ask patients to start performing weekly breathing tests at home using equipment provided, and ask those with a cough to use a device to count the number of times they cough in 24hours. We will ask them to answer two questions rating their coughing and breathlessness, and complete questionnaires on their coughing, IPF, sleep habits and general condition. People will be given a PPI, called lansoprazole, or dummy tablets, twice per day for 12 months. They will be given a leaflet telling them what to do about reflux symptoms. At the end of the study, we will repeat these tests and analyse the results. We will record any side effects people may get. If people suffer side effects, they can reduce the dose. People taking medicines that interact with PPIs or have other serious medical conditions won't be able to participate. People receiving PPIs will only be able to participate if they can stop taking their medication without their heartburn returning.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an IgE mediated chronic inflammatory disease of the upper airways characterized by symptoms of sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal itching, and nasal obstruction . However, not only this disease is difficult to cure, but also its relapse rate is high, therefore exerting a certain impact on their daily life, work and study. Nowadays, the main treatment for allergic rhinitis is the use of western medicine, such as steroids and antihistamines. However, many clinical studies have found that the curative effect of western medicine is often not ideal. Allergic rhinitis belongs to the category of "Rhinitis" in Chinese medicine. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, this disease is resulted from the deficiency of Qi and Yang Qi in the lungs, spleen and kidneys. Therefore, according to Chinese medicine theory, tonifying lung and spleen qi is the treatment principle for AR patients. Among different Chinese herbal formulae for AR, Yupingfeng san is commonly used for allergic diseases and in AR patients, due to its warm nature and able to improve the functions of the lungs and spleen. Yupingfeng san can improve symptoms and quality of life, as well as decrease the levels of interleukin and IgE in AR patients. This study will use Yupingfeng Powder with variation to evaluate its effectiveness and safety in treating AR. Hence, this study would be able to provide evidence on the efficacy and safety of Yupingfeng Powder with variation for AR.

Parkinson's patients suffer from respiratory distress for different reasons. It is thought that physiotherapy methods that have an indirect effect on the diaphragm can improve respiratory functions. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of spinal mobilization and diaphragmatic breathing techniques on respiratory function.

This phase II trial investigates the side effects of tocilizumab, ipilimumab, and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, or urothelial carcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Tocilizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the immune system to decrease immune-related toxicities. Giving tocilizumab, ipilimumab, and nivolumab may kill more tumor cells.

The aim of the study is to investigate effects of brain stimulation-assisted cognitive training in patients with persistent subjective or objective cognitive impairment after polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-positive COVID-19 disease.

This is a Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sotatercept versus placebo in adults with Cpc-PH due to HFpEF. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of sotatercept versus placebo in adults with Cpc-PH due to HFpEF. Efficacy is measured by change from baseline in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR, primary endpoint) and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD, key secondary endpoint).

The study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy, and safety of camrelizumab combined with famitinib malate vs. pembrolizumab in treatment naïve subjects with programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1)-positive recurrent or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
