Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

This study examines the implications of providing remote physician care to home hospitalized patients compared to usual home hospital care with in-person/in-home physician visits.

This study compares the cardiac safety of inhaled indacaterol with that of placebo and oral moxifloxacin.

This is a phase III multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GSK573719/GW642444 Inhalation Powder, GSK573719 Inhalation Powder, GW642444 Inhalation Powder and Placebo when administered once-daily via a Novel Dry Powder Inhaler over a 24-week treatment period in subjects with COPD. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria at Screening (Visit 1) will complete a 7 to14 day run-in period followed by a randomization visit (Visit 2) then a 24-week treatment period. There will be a total of 9 clinic study visits. A follow-up phone contact for adverse event assessment will be conducted approximately one week after the last study visit (Visit 9 or Early Withdrawal). The total duration of subject participation in the study will be approximately 27 weeks. A subset of subjects at selected sites will also perform 24-hour serial spirometry and Holter monitoring during the study and provide serial blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis. Sparse pharmacokinetic sampling for population pharmacokinetic analyses will be obtained from non-subset subjects. The primary measure of efficacy is clinic visit trough (pre-bronchodilator and pre-dose) FEV1 on Treatment Day 169. Safety will be assessed by adverse events, 12-lead ECGs, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, and 24 hour Holter monitoring (subset only).

The purpose of this study is to determine if fluticasone furoate/vilanterol improves survival in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with a history of or increased risk of heart disease.

The purpose of the present study is to determine the effects on health status and spirometric values of Foster® 100/6 (two puffs b.i.d.) versus Seretide® 500/50 (one inhalation b.i.d.), over a 12-week treatment period in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients.

The purpose of this study is to further characterize the dose response of GSK573719 at doses of 15.6 micrograms (mcg) to 125 mcg once daily in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Treatment with doses of GSK573719 dosed twice daily will also be included to further evaluate dosing frequency. Treatment with tiotropium (18 mcg) once daily via the Handihaler will be included as an active control. A placebo treatment will be included in order to evaluate absolute treatment effect of the different doses of GSK573719.

Given the importance of the correct use of inhalers by patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) for the appropriate treatment of the disease, the self-care programme which will be assessed will consist of an educational intervention on the correct use of inhalers. For this aim, we have designed this study to assess the influence of both individualized and collective self care programmes about the correct use of inhalers improves the functional state of patients with COPD compared to when there is no educational intervention.

The study assessed the safety and efficacy of the fixed combination product QVA149 versus the component products QAB149 and NVA237, administered concurrently, in patients that have moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

This is a randomized, placebo controlled, four period incomplete block,crossover thorough QT study to estimate the effect of repeat dose GSK573719/GW642444M (Vilanterol) combination and GSK573719 monotherapy on the QTc interval in healthy male and female subjects compared with placebo. At least 100 subjects will receive, four of five possible, 10-day repeat dose treatments. Treatments are placebo with a moxifloxacin placebo on day 10, placebo with moxifloxacin (400mg) on day 10, GSK573719/Vilanterol combination (125/25μg) with moxifloxacin placebo on day 10, GSK573719/Vilanterol combinatio (500/100μg) with moxifloxacin placebo on day 10, or GSK573719 (500μg) with a moxifloxacin placebo on day 10. All treatments are double blind except for moxifloxacin (400mg) and moxifloxacin placebo controls, given as a single-blind single dose on Day 10 of the appropriate treatment period. Primary endpoints are individual time-matched changes from baseline QTcF for GSK573719/Vilanterol combination (125/25μg) and GSK573719 (500μg), 0-24 hours after dosing on Day 10. Secondary endpoints will include individual time-matched changes from baseline in QTcF for GSK573719/Vilanterol combination (500/100μg) and moxifloxacin (400mcg) 0-24 hours after dosing on Day 10. Also changes from baseline in QTci, QTcB, QT, QRS, RR, PR and ventricular rate at each time point after 10 days dosing of each GSK573719 and GSK573719/Vilanterol treatment and single dose moxifloxacin (400mg). Maximal change from baseline 0-24hours after dosing on day 10 will be derived for QTcF, QTci and QTcB for each treatment. Plasma concentrations on Day 10 (0-24 hours) and pharmacokinetic parameters of GSK573719 and Vilanterol will also be derived. Key assessments: 12- lead electrocardiogram (ECG), pharmacokinetics. Safety will be assessed by blood pressure, heart rate, clinical laboratory safety tests and collection of adverse events (AEs).

PH-797804 is an oral ant-inflammatory drug that may reduce the inflammation that is associated with COPD. PH-797804 will be dosed to patients with COPD to evaluate its potential safety and efficacy profile in COPD.
