Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

GSK2269557 is being developed as an anti-inflammatory and anti-infective agent for the treatment of inflammatory airways diseases. This is the first study using a new formulation of GSK2269557 in healthy subjects and will evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of a single dose of GSK2269557. Data derived from this study will inform on the PK profile and systemic exposure expected during Phase 2b. Approximately twelve healthy subjects will be randomized to receive a single dose of GSK2269557 750 micrograms (µg) or a single dose of GSK2269557 500 µg via the ELLIPTA® dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulated in a blend containing 0.4 percent magnesium stearate (MgSt) in 1:1 ratio. This randomized, parallel group study will be carried out in 3 phases, including screening phase, treatment phase and follow-up phase. The total study duration for each subject will be up to 6 weeks. ELLIPTA is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline group of companies.

Aim of this study is to compare the effects of whole-body Vibration Training versus conventional Balance Training on Balance performance, gait quality and exercise capacity in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Patients will be recruited during a 3-week inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program and will be randomized into one of two intervention groups. On top of a standardized endurance and strength Training program (5 days per week) patients in both groups will perform an additional Balance Training (on 3 days per week). Patients in both Groups will perform the same 4 different Balance exercises (2x1 Minute each): dynamic squats with closed eyes, heel raise, semi-Tandem stance and single leg stance but on a different surface. The Vibration Training Group will perform the exercises on a side-alternating Vibration platform (Galileo) at frequencies between 15 to 26 Hertz and the control Group will perform exercises on instable objects like Balance pads. The degree of difficulty in both Groups will be individually adjusted and will be progressively increased, if possible.

This is an open-label study to evaluate the PK of FF/UMEC/VI in dose combinations of 100/62.5/25 mcg after single and repeat dose administration from a DPI in healthy Chinese subjects. This study will evaluate the systemic pharmacokinetics (PK), of FF/UMEC/VI in Chinese healthy population when administered using dry powder inhaler (DPI)as a blended combination of UMEC/VI in one strip and FF in the second strip in dose combinations of 100/62.5/25 mcg. The triple, fixed dose combination product Fluticasone furoate(FF)/ Vilanterol (VI) /Umeclidinium bromide (UMEC) with new configuration enables the delivery of inhaled long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), Long-acting beta2 agonist (LABA) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) from a single device. Approximately 16 subjects will be enrolled in the study. After taking into account the allowable time windows for screening, treatment and follow-up, a subject will be in the study for a maximum duration of 6-7 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to obtain additional data on efficacy and safety of Rengalin in the treatment of cough in patients with stable obstructive pulmonary disease

The overall objective is to assess the effect of once daily tiotropium + olodaterol fixed dose combination compared to 5 µg tiotropium (both delivered with the Respimat® inhaler) on moderate to severe COPD exacerbation in patients with severe to very severe COPD.

A second sub-analysis of the BACE trial will include a detailed cost-effectiveness study.

The aim of this multi-centre, double blind, randomised, controlled trial (DBRCT) is to assess the effect of low dose theophylline, singly and in combination with low dose oral prednisone, on COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) exacerbations, quality of life and secondary clinical outcomes compared with usual therapy and placebo over 48 weeks of treatment. 1670 symptomatic patients with COPD will be recruited in China for comparison of low dose theophylline versus placebo and low dose theophylline + low dose prednisone The primary end-point for this study is the annualised COPD exacerbation rate between the treatment groups. Secondary outcomes included time to first severe exacerbation requiring hospitalisation or death, health status, and pre- and post-bronchodilator spirometry.

Study to investigate the effect of 14-day treatment with BIIL 284 BS on sputum neutrophils and specific inflammatory markers in patients with clinically well-defined moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Study to assess the safety of two-week administration of 80 and 160 mcg of ipratropium bromide as delivered by the RESPIMAT® device and as determined by 24 hours ambulatory ECG monitoring in COPD patients. To assess the overall safety of the two doses of ipratropium bromide as delivered by the RESPIMAT® device when administered over a two-week period.

Study to investigate the efficacy and safety of Ba679BR powder inhalation during the continuous once/day administration to the patients with COPD using oxitropium bromide (Tersigan® aerosol) as the comparator drug.
