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

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of ELX/TEZ/IVA in CF subjects 12 to less than (<) 24 months of age.

This is a open lable, single-center phase Ib/IIa study for patients with local advanced or metastastic NSCLC or ES-SCLC, who failed with previous anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. The aim is to observe and evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of LK101 injection combined with pembrolizumab or durvalumab respectively in the incurable NSCLC and SCLC.

Main objectives: To evaluate the benefit of SI-B001+ docetaxel on overall survival (OS) of bidotaxel. To evaluate the benefit of SI-B001+ Docetaxel over Docetaxel's progression-free survival (PFS) based assessment. Secondary objectives: To evaluate the investigator-evaluated progression-free survival (PFS) benefit of SI-B001+ Docetaxel against docetaxel; To evaluate the difference of objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and duration of response (DOR) between SI-B001+ docetaxel and bidocetaxel. To evaluate the type, frequency and severity of adverse events (TEAE) and drug-related adverse events (TRAE) during treatment with SI-B001+ docetaxel in comparison with docetaxel. The pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of SI-B001 will be evaluated. The immunogenicity of SI-B001 will be evaluated. Subject quality of life.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate a new drug, HTL0039732, that will be administered on its own (as a monotherapy) and in combination with atezolizumab or with other approved anti-cancer therapies, in participants with advanced solid tumours.

Following a thyroidectomy, voice and swallowing alterations, which more frequently would appear to be caused by lesions of the laryngeal nerve, may occur. But, voice and swallowing changes can also occur in the absence of lesions of the inferior laryngeal nerve or the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve, defining a condition called central compartment syndrome or functional post-thyroidectomy syndrome. It has been demonstrated that, in the presence of the aforementioned syndrome, the quality of the voice undergoes a deterioration immediately after thyroidectomy surgery with a lowering of pitch. The purpose of this study will be to verify the effects of early speech therapy, including pre-operative speech therapy counseling (during which the patient will be provided with indications to be implemented in the immediate post-operative period).

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of VSL#3® in reducing Fatigue and other symptoms in Long Covid Syndrome compared to placebo.

The research aims to compare the efficacy of topical Pridocaine cream (lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) and the standardized local lidocaine infiltration in pain management before pleurocentesis.

The goal of this multicentre, randomized and controlled cross-over trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a programme of Inspiratory Muscle Training in subjects with Late On-set Pompe Disease (LOPD). The main question is to: verify changes in Forced Vital Capacity, Postural Drop, Maximal Inspiratory Pressure, Maximal Expiratory Pressure, Peak expiratory cough pressure, Maximal Inspiratory Capacity, six- minute walk test and or 6-minute pegboard ring test.- measure changes in some questionnaries investigating dispnoea and quality of life (Short-Form 36, Individualized-Neuromuscular-Quality-of-Life, Maugeri-Respiratory-Failure 28, Borg scale, Dispnoea 12, Mulditimensional Dispnea Profile, modified Medical Research Council, Fatigue Severity Scale, Epsworth Scale, Visual Analogue Scale). Measurement will take place at baseline and after one, three, four, six and twelve months. Participants will undergo a specific treatment consisting of aerobic exercise and Inspiratory Muscle Training with Powerbreathe device or Air-Stacking. Researchers will study if Powerbreathe device is more effective than Air-stacking maneuvres

Based on preclinical data, investigators hypothesize that apoptosis resistance in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) have a decisive role in the development of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Specifically, macrophages from subjects with IPF have increased expression of Bcl-2 in mitochondria. In preclinical models of IPF, a conditional deletion of Bcl-2 in MDMs reverses established fibrosis by inducing apoptosis. Additional evidence to suggest that Bcl-2 expression in MDM mitochondria is a therapeutic target for IPF as administration of the Bcl-2 inhibitor, ABT-199 (Venetoclax), showed marked efficacy in preclinical models of IPF by inducing apoptosis of MDMs and reversing established fibrosis. ABT-199 is an orally available mimetic of the BH3 domain of Bcl-2, which is the domain the anchors Bcl-2 in the mitochondria to inhibit apoptosis. ABT-199 has shown therapeutic efficacy and good safety and tolerability in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Investigators anticipate that treatment with ABT-199 could result in significant benefit for IPF patients that have a life expectancy of 3-5 years. As there is no curative therapy for IPF, this clinical trial has the potential to substantially alter treatment approaches in patients with IPF.

The investigators are doing this research study to compare whole body aerobic training with isolated leg training (with weights) and its impact on effectiveness in symptoms and quality of life in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).
