Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

The purpose of this study is to determine the triple combination of beclometasone dipropionate+Formoterol fumarate+Glycopyrrolate bromide is effective for the treatment of severe COPD patients (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

This study will assess preliminary parameters of safety and efficacy of a single dose of BCT197 in patients with a Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbation.

This will be a two-period, open-label study conducted at a single site. Six healthy male subjects will participate in the study to ensure at least four fully evaluable subjects. Each subject will receive a single 1000 μg (microgram) oral dose containing 50 μCi (Micro Curie) of [14C]-GSK573719 and a 65 μg intravenous infusion containing 7.1 μCi of [14C]-GSK573719. Whilst subjects are in-house, urine and faecal samples will be collected for a minimum of 168 hours (7 days) after dosing or for up to 240 hours (10 days) depending on the amounts of radioactivity still being excreted after Day 5. Faecal sample collection may continue at home for up to 14 days. Bile samples will be collected using Entero-Test string sampling of duodenal bile. Whole blood and plasma samples will be collected at various sample times after dosing to measure parent drug (plasma only) and total radiolabelled drug related material (blood and plasma). Urine and faeces aliquots will be taken to measure total radiolabelled drug-related material. Samples of urine, faeces and plasma will be transferred into a separate study to characterize and, where possible, quantify metabolites in these matrices.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effect of multiple doses of suvorexant (MK-4305) on respiratory function in participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is a crossover study, so all participants will receive both suvorexant and placebo while on study. The primary hypothesis of this study is that multiple doses of suvorexant do not produce a clinically significant reduction of mean oxygen saturation (SaO2) during total sleep time in participants with COPD, as compared to placebo.

Pulmonary administered anticholinergic agents have shown their importance in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management to reduce morbidity, disability and mortality. To date, the recommended treatment of moderate to severe COPD patients consist in the combination of ß2 agonist and long acting antimuscarinic compounds. There is still a medical need in new product that could exhibit both anti-inflammatory and strong bronchodilation potency. V0162 is a compound with a potent anticholinergic activity. Secondary PD properties of V0162 could enhance the efficacy of this antimuscarinic compound and could bring new option in the treatment of this life-threatening disease.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate efficacy of PT003 MDI relative to its individual components (PT001 MDI and PT005 MDI) in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

This is a crossover Study to investigate the effect of Formoterol versus Salmeterol on small airways physiological parameters in COPD patients.

Primary objective: To investigate bronchodilator effect and safety of single doses of BI 1744 CL inhaled via Respimat inhaler, Secondary objective: to characterize pharmacokinetics of BI 1744 CL. Olodaterol dose 40 mcg was investigated only in the open-label extension part for additional PK assessments which are not defined as primary or secondary endpoints.

The overall objective of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of 12 weeks, once daily, orally inhaled co-administration of olodaterol 5 µg (delivered by the Respimat® Inhaler) and tiotropium (delivered by the Handihaler® as Spiriva Handihaler®), compared to tiotropium (Spiriva Handihaler®) monotherapy on lung function in patients with COPD.

The objective of this study is to assess the daily variation in bronchodilator response to an inhaled short acting beta2-agonist (albuterol/salbutamol) and an inhaled short acting anticholinergic (ipratropium) individually and when used in combination in subjects with COPD.
