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

Cough is the most common presenting symptom to family physician. Chronic Cough affects approximately 10-12% of the general population and is one of the commonest reasons for referral to secondary care. Unfortunately, there are no licensed treatments for this debilitating condition, which is associated with a poor quality of life, affecting the social, physical and psychological well-being of patients. The aim of this single-centre proof-of-concept study is to investigate whether mepolizumab reduces objective cough frequency in patients with eosinophilic asthma and non-asthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis presenting with chronic cough. Secondary outcomes including the effects on quality of life, the intensity of irritant sensations, airway hyper-reactivity and inflammatory cells and their progenitors will also be evaluated. The investigators hypothesize that in patients with asthma and non-asthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis, eosinophils are involved in sensitizing airway nerves and thereby increasing spontaneous objective coughs. The investigators predict that treatment with mepolizumab will reduce airway eosinophilia in patients with chronic cough due to eosinophilic asthma and non-asthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis, thereby causing a reduction in objective cough frequency.

Chiauranib , which simultaneously targets against VEGFR/Aurora B/CSF-1R, several key kinases involved in tumor angiogenesis, tumor cell mitosis, and chronic inflammatory microenvironment.

The current initial therapy for CPA is with six months of oral itraconazole. However, the response with six months of therapy has a response rate of 65-70% and has a relapse rate after stopping treatment of up to 50%. Voriconazole is a third-generation azole and a theoretical advantage of lower MICs compared to itraconazole. Also, oral voriconazole has good availability (95%) in fasting state. This is likely to improve the response rate and reduce the chances of relapse of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. There is no head to head comparison of oral itraconazole with oral voriconazole. In this study we intent to compare the clinical outcomes with six months of therapy with oral itraconazole versus oral voriconazole for management of treatment naïve subjects with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis

This study will test the safety of MSLN-targeted CAR-T cells at different doses to find the safest dose to give to people with MPM. The researchers want to see what effects, if any, the study treatment has on people with this type of cancer. This study is the first time that an MSLN-targeted CAR-T cell treatment with an anti-PD1 component is being given to people.

The Multi-arm trial of Inflammatory Signal Inhibitors for COVID-19 (MATIS) study is a two-stage, open-label, randomised controlled trial assessing the efficacy of ruxolitinib (RUX) and fostamatinib (FOS) individually, compared to standard of care in the treatment of COVID-19 pneumonia. The primary outcome is the proportion of hospitalised patients progressing from mild or moderate to severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Patients are treated for 14 days and will receive follow-up assessment at 7, 14 and 28 days after the first study dose. Patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 pneumonia will be recruited. Initially, n=171 (57 per arm) patients will be recruited in Stage 1. Following interim analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of the treatments, approximately n=285 (95 per arm) will be recruited during Stage 2.

The purpose of the trial was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR-1701 combined with fluzopar as a first-line treatment maintenance therapy for advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma. Patients with advanced or metastatic (stage IV) lung squamous cell carcinoma have not received systemic chemotherapy and have measurable lesions (RECIST 1.1) ECOG PS 0-1. The patient received SHR1701 +fluzoparib

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction intervention (MBSRI) on the reduction of stress, anxiety, and depression in people with COPD and their family caregivers. The experimental group will receive the MBSRI and the control group an informational intervention on stress management.

This phase II trial finds out the effect of local consolidative therapy and durvalumab in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that has 3 or fewer lesions of progression (oligoprogressive) and greater than 3 lesions of progression (polyprogressive) after chemoradiation and anti-PD-l1 therapy. Local consolidative therapy, such as surgery and/or radiation, after initial treatment may kill any remaining tumor cells. Immunotherapy with durvalumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving local consolidative therapy and durvalumab may help to control the disease.

A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Prospective, Multicenter Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Subcutaneous Immunotherapy in Patients With Rhinitis With or Without Mild to Moderate Asthma Sensitized to cupressaceae and grasses.

Prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of efficacy and safety with subcutaneous immunotherapy in patients with mild to moderate rhinitis / rhinoconjunctivitis with or without mild to moderate asthma sensitized to grasses and olive
