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

When administering clinical trial drugs to patients with house dust mite allergic rhinitis, safety/tolerance is comparatively evaluated as the primary outcome, and symptom improvement and immune activity of the disease are comparatively evaluated as secondary outcome.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is highly effective in treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, this treatment modality relies heavily on patient adherence, and poor adherence to the treatment limits its effectiveness in treating OSA. Strategies to augment adherence are needed in the management of OSA. The smart watch and linked app provide various health information, including sleep, snoring or oxygen saturation during sleep, exercise, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram. The smart watch and linked app could potentially improve adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to examine whether the use of smart watch and app can increase PAP adherence in patients with OSA.

The goal of this proof-of-concept clinical trial is to determine whether cardiac rehabilitation improves exercise capacity and chronotropic (heart rate) response to exercise among people with Long COVID. The study will include individuals with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, symptoms not present prior to COVID-19 that are persistent for at least 3 months after acute infection ("Long COVID"), and who have reduced exercise capacity less than predicted and reduced heart rate response during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). In addition to the primary outcome of change in peak VO2, secondary outcomes will include change in symptoms including autonomic symptoms (COMPASS-31), anxiety (GAD-7), depression (PHQ-9), endothelial function with brachial artery flow-mediated dilation, and satisfaction (net-promotor score).

COVID-19 is currently one of the serious public health challenges worldwide, and there is a great need to develop effective treatments. Paxlovid is a Pfizer-developed oral new drug for the treatment of COVID-19. Paxlovid, which is used to treat adult patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 who have high-risk factors for progression to severe disease, was conditionally approved for marketing in the United States and China in December 2021 and February 2022, respectively. Clinical trials have shown that this drug can significantly reduce the progression from mild to severe disease and the rate of hospitalization and mortality. However, due to the limitations of clinical trials in the subject selection, there is still insufficient knowledge about the efficacy and safety of Paxlovid in a real-world population. Relevant studies on this drug in real-world people, especially in Chinese populations, have not been reported. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of Paxlovid on sufferers of COVID-19 through a retrospective, real-world analysis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Pharmacodynamic, Efficacy and Safety of SHR-1703 in Asthma Patients with Eosinophil Phenotype.

Background: Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is an immune system disorder that can occur in people who have had a stem cell transplant. cGVHD can affect multiple organs and increase risk of disability and death. New treatments are needed to treat cGVHD after stem cell transplant. Objective: To test a drug (pacritinib) in people with moderate or severe cGVHD that has not responded to previous treatment. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with moderate or severe cGVHD that has not responded to 2 or more lines of previous treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have blood and urine tests. They will have tests of their heart and lung function. They may also have a CT scan. Some may have other specialized tests. Participants will take the study drug at home every day. Pacritinib is a capsule taken by mouth. The study doctor will determine the dosage and schedule. Participants will keep a medication diary. They will record the date and time of each drug dose and any missed doses. Participants will visit the clinic every 2 weeks for the first 4 months. Then they will visit the clinic once every 4 weeks. They will have blood and urine tests. During some visits, other screening tests will be repeated, and participants will fill out questionnaires about their quality of life. Photographs may be taken of skin rashes and joints affected by cGVHD. Participants will give saliva samples. Optional biopsies may be taken of the skin and mouth. Participants will take pacritinib for 6 to 12 months if no side effects develop. Follow-up visits will continue for up to 2 years. ...

Jinzhen oral liquid and Jinhuaqinggan Granules were used in the treatment and the control group for 14 days, respectively, to evaluate the effect of Jinzhen oral liquid in treating children with novel coronavirus infection.

This is a US study comparing the efficacy and safety of BDA MDI [Budesonide/Albuterol Sulfate (BDA) metered dose inhaler (MDI)] with AS [Albuterol Sulfate] MDI, both are administered as needed for up to 12 months.

Pleural antiseptic irrigation (PAI) is used in conjunction with open drainage for treating adults with chronic post-thoracotomy empyema. The antiseptic povidone-iodine can safely be instilled into the pleural cavity for the purpose of pleurodesis and has recently been described for pleural irrigation in the acute management of paediatric pleural infection with good outcomes. A recent case report demonstrated the safe use of povidone-iodine pleural irrigation in a patient with complex pleural empyema with successful medical management. In a previous pilot study, antiseptic irrigation led to less referral to surgery and shorter length of hospital stay in comparison to no irrigation. This study aims to investigate the effect of antiseptic pleural irrigation (using povidone iodine) on the inflammatory response in adults patients with pleural infection in comparison to irrigation with normal saline alone. A reduction in the systemic inflammatory response can be inferred to correlate with reduction in the infection burden in the pleural space.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm, Phase 3 study of BLU-5937 in participants with Refractory Chronic Cough (RCC).
