Active clinical trials for "Bronchitis"

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether addition of Omalizumab enables a reduction in the dose of prednisone in patients with asthma and eosinophilic bronchitis. This will be a double-blind placebo-controlled, 3-centre, randomized parallel group trial divided into two sequential study periods. Period 1: After establishing the minimum dose of prednisone to maintain asthma control and maintain sputum eosinophils <3%, subjects will be randomized to either placebo or Omalizumab for 16 weeks (either once monthly for 4 months or every 2 weeks for 4 months). Period 2: standardised prednisone reduction at intervals of 4-weeks until there is a clinical and eosinophilic exacerbation or bothersome steroid withdrawal effects. If patients have an exacerbation, they will be treated with prednisone. This patient will continue on Omalizumab or placebo during the entire duration of the study but not continue the phase of steroid reduction.

This is a multi-center, double-dummy, double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, parallel group phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KALOMIN™ Tab. in patients with acute bronchitis. The aim of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that KALOMIN™ Tab. is clinically non-inferior to Umckamin syrup, as assessed by BSS(Bronchitis Severity Score), in the treatment of acute bronchitis after 7 days.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of azithromycin to produce a significant change in the cough-related health status, measured with the Dutch version of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire in patiënts with COPD gold classification 2-4 and chronic productive coughing.

This study investigates the role of azithromycin treatment for lymphocytic bronchitis/bronchiolitis after lung transplantation.

To compare the efficacy of a 5-day course of clarithromycin extended-release tablets (2 x 500 mg QD) with that of a 7-day course of clarithromycin immediate-release tablets (1 x 500 mg BID) in the treatment of acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis.

The objective of the present study is to establish the safety and efficacy of multiple administrations of Prochymal™(ex-vivo cultured human adult mesenchymal stem cells) in participants with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The aim of this family practice based study is to determine the long-term treatment effects of two drugs that are presumed to modify the course and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), oral N-acetylcysteine and inhaled corticosteroids.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of levofloxacin, an antibiotic, compared with cefuroxime axetil, another antibiotic, in the treatment of adults with chronic bronchitis experiencing rapid onset of worsening of symptoms caused by bacteria.

ABSTRACT CONTEXT: Inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions for acute bronchitis is a major public health concern because of antibiotic resistance. Effective therapies for managing the symptoms of acute bronchitis are lacking, however. OBJECTIVE: Determine if patients with acute bronchitis have better symptom control when treated with inhaled ipratropium. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS: COUGH STOP was a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial comparing ipratropium with placebo in acute bronchitis. Subjects were referred by their primary care provider or from urgent care clinics at a single institution. Subjects had been diagnosed with acute bronchitis and had no significant co-morbidities. INTERVENTION: Subjects received ipratropium or placebo inhalers, administering 2 puffs four times daily. A structured telephone interview took place 2, 4, and 8 days after enrollment. Medical records were reviewed at 60 days. OUTCOME: The primary endpoint was improvement in cough symptomology; secondary endpoints included subsequent antibiotic prescriptions and "well being."

The purpose of this study is to assess the bronchodilator effect and safety of multiple daily doses of arformoterol administered for 12 weeks as maintenance treatment in patients with COPD
