Active clinical trials for "Bronchitis"

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of e-cigarettes and continued smoking on pulmonary and cardiac outcomes in a population with established pulmonary disease.

To evaluate the relationship between airway structure and function in patients with chronic bronchitis treated with metered cryospray (MCS).

This is a prospective, randomized, parallel group, double-blind, sham-controlled, multicenter clinical trial following patients to 2 years. The objective is to assess the safety and effectiveness of Bronchial Rheoplasty for the treatment of the symptoms of chronic bronchitis in adult COPD patients with moderate to severe chronic bronchitis. A total of 270 patients will be randomized at up to 40 study centers in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

An early feasibility study (EFS) to assess the safety and clinical utility of RheOx on patients with chronic bronchitis in the United States.

This is a research study to determine the efficacy and safety of investigational drug MEDI3506 for the treatment of adult subjects with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Chronic Bronchitis.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of montelukast sodium in the treatment and prevention of recurrent obstructive bronchitis in children. The investigators examined 80 children aged 1 to 7 years with recurrent obstructive bronchitis, who were randomly divided into 2 groups.

Plastic bronchitis (PB) is a rare, most often pediatric disease characterized by the formation of obstructive airway casts primarily composed of fibrin. There is presently no FDA-approved pharmacotherapy for PB, but acute exacerbations of the illness are often treated with inhaled tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). To date, this is done somewhat anecdotally because there has been no safety or efficacy testing of this treatment. In addition, there is presently no reliable surrogate marker of adverse drug events. Nevertheless, in the absence of inhaled tPA treatment, PB-induced respiratory distress can be severe, often warranting urgent or emergent bronchoscopy for cast removal, or can sometimes result in respiratory failure. As such there is a significant unmet need for safety and efficacy testing of inhaled tPA and for biomarkers of drug response. Objectives and Endpoints: The objectives of this protocol are to: 1) test the safety and efficacy of an inhaled tPA regimen in children with PB; and 2) identify potential candidate biomarkers of inhaled tPA drug response. Safety endpoints will consist of the development of new, active bleeding that is systemic and/or pulmonary and/or new hematuria (defined as gross hematuria). Secondary endpoints of efficacy will also be measured (e.g., frequency of cast production). Urine and blood will also be collected for the development of potential biomarkers of inhaled tPA drug response. Funding source- FDA OOPD

Patients treated at the Hôpital Nord de Marseille for at least one smoking-related pathology (atheroma, chronic bronchitis, non-progressive cancer > 5 years) or with eligibility criteria for lung cancer screening (inclusion criteria in the NLST or NELSON studies or American recommendations) Interventional study with minimal risks and constraints, with evaluation of lung cancer prevalence; immunological, blood inflammatory and microbiota profile Determine the maximum clinical, radiological, and biological phenotyping completeness rate following the implementation of a new lung cancer screening care pathway with multidimensional clinical, radiological, and biological phenotyping capabilities

The purpose of this study is to test if visualizing the heart with cardiac MRI/echo will be important in the understanding cardiac function and prediction of cardiopulmonary symptoms, physical effort tolerance, and outcomes in COVID-19 survivors. If successful, the research will allow us to identify the causes of lasting cardiopulmonary symptoms and begin developing cardiac and lung directed therapies accordingly.

The protocol, in accordance with the objectives of ORCHESTRA project - Work Package 2, aims at investigating the characteristics and determinants of COVID-19 long-term sequelae. This goal will be reached through the harmonization of follow-up strategies across the participating cohorts to allow a standardized collection of data on COVID-19 long-term sequelae. The result will be a platform including a set of data and biomaterials from large scale international cohorts, that will be uniformly recorded, prospectively tracked and analysed. The ultimate goal will be that of providing evidence to contribute to the optimization and improvement of the management and prevention of COVID-19 sequelae. The follow-up will be organized in multiple levels of tests, according to the capability of each cohort, and will include questionnaires to collect demographic, epidemiological and clinical data, physical examination, radiological exams and biological sampling. The long-term follow-up will also allow the assessment of long-term immunological response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and its association to the vaccination and to different treatment strategies, including monoclonal antibodies.
