Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of XEN-D0501 over placebo in reducing the daytime cough frequency in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The effectiveness of XEN-D0501 placebo in reducing capsaicin cough responses, objective 24-hour cough frequency, hourly change in cough frequency, cough severity (via visual analogue scale [VAS]), urge to cough (via VAS), global rating of change scale, Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ), Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ), and St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ-C) will be evaluated.

GSK961081 is a novel bifunctional molecule that combines muscarinic antagonism and beta2-agonism in a single molecule and is in development for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is a randomised, open-label, six-way crossover, single dose study. This study evaluates the drug delivery and systemic pharmacokinetics of GSK961081 following concurrent administration of GSK961081 and fluticasone furoate via dry powder inhaler (DPI) in comparison to GSK961081 DISKUS. There will be six treatment periods and 7 days washout period in the study. Subjects will attend the unit in the morning for dosing and will be resident until 12 hours post administration. All subjects will receive six treatments.

This is a long-term safety trial of 48 weeks. Eligible subjects will enter the 48-week, open-label treatment period to receive one of two treatments (SUN-101 given as 50 mcg twice a day or Spiriva® [tiotropium] given as 18 mcg once a day).

The primary objective of this trial was to establish non-inferiority of lung function response to 25 μg salmeterol, administered as the xinafoate salt, in an inhalation powder delivered from hard polyethylene (PE) capsules via the HandiHaler® 2 compared to Serevent® Diskus® (salmeterol 50 μg, administered as the xinafoate salt) following single dose inhalation in patients with COPD. The secondary objectives were to characterize the pharmacokinetics of salmeterol inhalation powder delivered by HandiHaler® 2 from the PE hard capsule and salmeterol xinafoate delivered by Serevent® Diskus®, and to compare the safety of the two pharmaceutical forms.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of nocturnal oxygen therapy during a stay at moderate altitude on exercise performance of patients with chronic obstructive lung disease.

The investigators combine traditional medical care with an integrative modality - Music Therapy specifically including wind playing, singing, and music visualizations- to study the effects on physical function and quality of life for adults with COPD. The primary goals are to increase respiratory function and reduce respiratory symptoms and hospitalizations in order to improve breathing, functional capacity for activities of daily living, psychological well-being and quality of life in adult age 45 and above who are diagnosed with COPD

The objective of this study was to compare the bronchodilator efficacy and safety of ipratropium bromide HFA-134a inhalation aerosol and marketed, Atrovent® CFC Inhalation Aerosol in COPD patients

A phase I randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of single and repeated ascending doses in healthy volunteers to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of inhaled chf 6001.

The purpose of this study is to measure the effectiveness and safety of TD 4208, an investigational drug being developed to treat people with moderate to very severe COPD, compared to placebo, a treatment without activity.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of four times daily Positive Expiratory Pressure (oPEP) (Aerobika ®) maneuvers over three weeks in individuals with bronchiectasis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with chronic sputum production. The investigators hypothesize that four times daily positive expiratory pressure using the Aerobika ® will significantly improve dyspnea, movement of mucus, St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) score, and six-minute walk distance (6MWD) after three weeks of four times daily administration.
