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

This is a non-randomized single-arm, two cohorts, phase II study of iadademstat in combination with weekly paclitaxel in patients with relapse/refractory SCLC or extrapulmonary G3 Neuroendocrine Carcinomas. A total of 42 patients with SCLC (21 patients) and G3 NEC (21 patients) will be enrolled (including those enrolled in the safety lead-in portion).

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in catastrophic infections and fatalities across the nation. Many older Veterans with comorbidities are especially vulnerable to complications and poor recovery. This award will investigate the effect of a novel, home-based, supervised, group exercise tele-rehabilitation in Veterans recovered from COVID-19 on cardiopulmonary and physical function.

MIST+ is studying a nasal spray to see if it will reduce the need for surgery for snoring. Children aged 3-12 are invited to take part. Snoring affects up to 10% of children and can cause sleeping problems and concentration or behavioural issues in the daytime. Currently the most common treatment for snoring is surgery to remove the tonsils and/or adenoids, however many children wait a long time to see a specialist. This research is trying to find if nasal sprays can help children with snoring, and whether this can reduce the need for surgery.

This study is a phase Ib/II clinical trial conducted in Chinese adult asthmatic subjects to evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of MG-K10 humanized monoclonal antibody injection in the treatment of asthma.

The purpose of the study is to simplify amivantamab intravenous administration and to reduce dose times, by assessing a new formulation of amivantamab, amivantamab subcutaneous and co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase (SC-CF), for subcutaneous administration. This formulation has the potential to enhance both the patient and physician experience with amivantamab by providing easier and accelerated administration.

Still many advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients do not benefit from PD-(L)1 inhibition or will eventually develop progression through secondary resistance. Inhibition of CTLA-4, application of radiotherapy together with PD-1 inhibition showed synergistic effects and is deemed safe.

Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the nasal passage and paranasal sinuses that places significant burden on affected patients and global healthcare systems. Current treatments for CRS such as long-term antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and surgery often reduce symptoms and signs of disease temporarily, however long-term results are much less satisfactory. Recently, the theory of a damaged microbiome (dysbiosis) as a cause or promoting factor behind CRS has gained increasing evidence from the scientific community. A condition of the gut with microbial dysbiosis (c.difficile) has previously employed microbiota transplant treatment with great success in long-term health outcomes. Such treatments are shown to repopulate bacterial microenvironment and restore protective commensal bacterial load. A pilot study conducted by this study team trialed a novel intervention of a Nasal Microbiota Transplant in a small group of participants. Preliminary results suggested significantly improved CRS symptoms after treatment with a healthy donor microbiota transplant, compared to the pre-transplant baseline. The addition of a randomized-control trial with inclusion of a placebo group is the next step. In this study, investigators aim to perform a two-arm, double-blinded, phase II randomized controlled clinical trial in order to assess the efficacy of a Nasal Microbiota Transplant against a placebo in a cohort of CRS patients without Nasal Polyps (CRSsNP).

Open-label, non-randomised, exploratory, phase II, multi-centre clinical trial. 43 unresectable stage III (IIIA-N2, IIIB, IIIC) KRAS p.G12C non-small cell lung cancer patients will be enrolled in this trial to evaluate the efficacy of induction treatment of AMG510 (Sotorasib) plus AMG510 (Sotorasib) treatment post-induction as measured by Progression Free Survival at 12 months.

This phase II clinical trial evaluates the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Atezolizumab in addition to standard of care chemotherapy (Platinum/Etoposide) in LCNEC.

Numerous studies in recent years have shown that the use of opioid-free analgesia can reduce opioid use and length of stay in the recovery room, as published in the journals Anesthesia & Analgesia1. Compared with traditional opioid analgesic anesthesia, opioid-free analgesic anesthesia can be used to reduce postoperative respiratory complications, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and postoperative opioid needs. During surgery, opioid analgesics may have immunosuppressive effects, but different anesthesia/analgesia methods will change the individual's stress response, affect the human body's cellular immunity, and may even lead to changes in angiogenesis growth factors associated with cancer recurrence, so it is likely to affect the prognosis of cancer patients. In addition, Dexmedetomidine, a highly selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, can replace opioids for pain relief during surgery, providing superior analgesia and reducing opioid use while reducing the need for general anesthetics amount, thus avoiding suppression of immune system function. A study in the Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology pointed out that Dexmedetomidine can be used to replace opioid analgesics in surgical anesthesia, and there was no difference in the use of rescue opioid analgesics during and after surgery5. Several clinical studies have shown that opioid-free anesthesia is significantly associated with a lower incidence of respiratory complications and postoperative nausea and vomiting. Therefore, general anesthesia combined with Dexmedetomidine can be regarded as an opioid-free anesthesia strategy.
