Active clinical trials for "Bronchiolitis"

A European multi-centre, randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled trial of Pirfenidone in bronchiolitis-obliterans-syndrome grade 1-3 in lung transplant recipients. Randomized double blinded, placebo controlled study. Eligible patients are to be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Pirfenidone 2403 mg/d or the matching placebo treatment for 6 months. Primary objective To evaluate the effect of Pirfenidone on the change in FEV1 in liters over 6 months in lung transplant recipients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.

To assess the efficacy of nebulized 3% hypertonic saline in improving clinical severity scores among children aged 6 weeks to 24 months with bronchiolitis.

The purpose of this study is to look at the preliminary safety profile of an investigational drug in children 1 to < 3 months of age with bronchiolitis.

The usual treatment for obstructive airway disease (OAD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) , which is related to graft versus host disease (GVHD), consists of intensification of systemic immunosuppressive therapy.

We looked for the effectiveness of low-dose long-term prescription of erythromycin in mustard-induced bronchiolitis obliterans

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of etanercept in the treatment of patients with sub-acute lung injury following a bone marrow transplant. This study will also examine the toxicity of treatment with etanercept as well as whether there is an improved quality of life in these patients.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical response of children diagnosed with acute bronchiolitis, relative to a chest physiotherapy protocol. Comparing this treatment with standard care of the nursing staff and auxiliaries of infants patients aged 1 month to 2 years.

The objective of this study is to detect BOS in an early stage by using the outcome parameters generated by Functional Respiratory Imaging (FRI). Robust and automated segmentation algorithms will be developed for these parameters, focusing on quantitative computed tomography (CT) image analyses to provide the physician a more sensitive diagnostics tool. The evolution of rejection over time will be monitored using non-rigid image registration methods.

Bronchiolitis is a leading cause of acute illness and hospitalization in the first year of life. Most children with bronchiolitis have mild disease and are managed at home with support from primary care providers, while children with more severe symptoms require supportive therapy with oxygen and fluid administration. Neonates may be obligate nasal breathers until they are at least 2 months old and nasal obstruction may play a relevant role in respiratory resistances throughout the first months of life, whereas nasal passages may exhibit as much as 50% of the total airway resistance. Some guidelines recommend to clear the nostrils of secretions to improve airway patency but no controlled trial on the efficacy of nasal irrigation in infants with bronchiolitis was carried out. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare normal saline and hypertonic solution for nasal irrigation versus simple supportive care in infants admitted to Emergency Department with bronchiolitis and mild desaturation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of two airway clearance techniques; Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation and Assisted Autogenic Drainage in hospitalized infants under the age of 2 with acute viral bronchiolitis.
