Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

This study is a 2 treatment period, single dose crossover, gamma scintigraphy study investigating the deposition in the lungs of a Budesonide, Glycopyrronium and Formoterol Fumarate Metered Dose Inhaler. This study will be investigating how the drug (known as PT010) is distributed in the lungs following a 10 second or 3 second breath hold. The study will involve the following visits: 1 screening visits, 2 treatment visits, each separated by around 7 days (each with 1 overnight stay; from the evening before dosing until a minimum of 4 hours post-dose on the morning of Day 1) and a post-study follow up phone call. The study population will be 10 healthy males, aged between 28 and 50 years of age.

Purpose: to evaluate the immediate effect of automated oxygen titration compared to usual fixed-dose oxygen treatment during exercise in patients with COPD on long-term oxygen treatment. Methods: The study will be conducted as a double blinded randomized crossover trial with two arms. 40 ambulatory patients with COPD and home oxygen treatment will be included from AHH Hospital's catchment area. The patients will conduct two Endurance Shuttle Walk Tests (ESWT) in a crossover design using an O2matic device to deliver a variable oxygen dosage set at an SpO2-target of 90-94% and an O2-flow of 0 - 15 liters/min and using the patients´ usual fixed-dose oxygen delivery, in a randomized order. In both arms O2matic will monitor pulse rate and SpO2 continuously during the test, but only in the automated oxygen titration arm will O2matic adjust oxygen flow. The patient and the physiotherapist supervising the tests will be blinded to the oxygen dose. Primary outcome is the changes in perceived dyspnea intensity using Borg CR10 scale between walking with automated titration compared to fixed-dose treatment. Secondary outcomes are differences in walking time, the average oxygen consumption between automated oxygen titration and fixed-dose treatment and difference in time spent within acceptable SpO2-interval.

COPD; it is a common, preventable and treatable disease that is associated with increased chronic inflammatory responses in the airways and lungs against harmful gases and particles, and that it manages progressive airflow. The definition of exacerbation is defined as an acute onset with a change in where daily differences in the main symptoms occur and which may occur with the presence of drugs. The number of exacerbations in the course of the disease is between 1-3 years on average. Routine physiotherapy treatment in COPD exacerbation is expected to increase lung volume and effective removal of airway secretions. The concept of physiotherapy programs is vibration, thoracic expression exercise, positive expiratory pressure therapy and gait programs. An incentive spirometer is a simple, inexpensive device to adjust lung tissue re-expansion by increasing lung volumes and diaphragmatic mobility, providing maximal inspiration with termination control without a resistive loading. In COPD patients, the use of incentive spirometry is to increase alveolar ventilation and oxygenation in lifestyle. There are a limited number of studies in the literature regarding the results of the use of incentive spirometry in COPD patients. The results of postoperative results of incentive spirometry in COPD patients were tried and established on pulmonary complications, diseases, postoperative dyspnea perception and lifestyle. The importance of the investigator's research; this is the first study to evaluate hemodynamic responses and hospitalization plans of incentive spirometer and routine physiotherapy program in COPD exacerbations.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by dyspnea, as well as musculoskeletal and systemic manifestations. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) with use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and/or light emitting diode therapy (LEDT) is an electrophysical intervention that has been found to minimize or delay muscle fatigue. The aim of this study is to evaluate the acute effect of PBMT with combined use of lasers diodes, light emitting diodes (LEDs), on muscle performance, exercise tolerance and metabolic variables during the 6-minute stepper test (6MST) in patients with COPD. Twenty-one patients with COPD will completed the 6MST protocol over 2 weeks, with 1 session per week. PBMT or placebo (PL) will be performed before each 6MST (17 sites on each lower limb, with a dose of 30 J per site, using a cluster of 12 diodes: 4 × 905 nm super-pulsed laser diodes, 4 × 875 nm infrared LEDs, and 4 × 640 nm red LEDs; Multi Radiance Medical™, Solon - OH, USA). Patients will be randomized into two groups before the test according to the treatment they will receive. Assessments will be performed before the start of each protocol. The primary outcomes are oxygen uptake and number of steps, and the secondary outcome are perceived exertion (dyspnea and fatigue in the lower limbs).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Fixed Combination of Beclomethasone Dipropionate + Formoterol Fumarate + Glycopyrronium Bromide Administered Via Dry Powder Inhaler in COPD

Nemiralisib is a potent anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other inflammatory lung diseases. The Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is a major route of clearance for nemiralisib. The co-administration of drug therapies, which modulate CYP3A4, may alter the exposure of nemiralisib. Hence, this clinical drug interaction study with itraconazole (a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor) is required. The study will evaluate the PK, safety and tolerability of nemiralisib when administered alone and when administered concomitantly with repeat doses of itraconazole in healthy males and females. Subjects will receive treatment with nemiralisib alone in Period 1 and itraconazole followed by nemiralisib in Period 2 in single sequence crossover manner. Approximately 20 subjects will be enrolled such that approximately 16 evaluable subjects complete the study. Each subject will participate in the study for approximately 7 weeks including screening visit, 2 treatment periods and a follow up visit.

CHF6366 is a novel bifunctional compound displaying both muscarinic receptor antagonist and β2-adrenergic receptor agonist properties (MABA), with the potential to deliver optimal bronchodilation after inhalation dosing via two validated mechanisms in one molecule. The study will consist of three parts: Part 1 will consit of two cohorts of healthy male subjects to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of Single Ascending Dose (SAD) of CHF 6366 Part 2 will consist of four cohorts of asthmatic subjects to assess the saftey, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) of CHF6366 Part 3 will consist of one cohort of COPD patients to asess safety, tolerability of a single dose of CHF6366 in an active and placebo controlled design

The purpose of this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study is to assess the safety and efficacy of orally administered DS102 capsules versus placebo in the treatment of adult patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

The purpose for this study is to determine safety and effectiveness of the oxyhydrogen generator with nebulizer through a therapy for improving symptoms in patients with acute exacerbations of copd.

Researchers have found a link between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart disease; however, a link is all they have found. Cardiovascular health in COPD is controlled by different mechanisms including vascular health and systemic inflammation. The investigators have collected preliminary data to support that concentrations of Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1), a protein that plays a key role in cardioprotection, may be involved in cardiovascular health in patients with COPD. Resveratrol, an over the counter natural polyphenol found in a variety of food, is a direct activator of Sirt1 and has been used to improve cardiovascular health in different cohorts. The current project is an attempt to expand previous findings and explore the effects of the sub-chronic use of resveratrol in sustaining the improvements in cardiovascular health in COPD.
