Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

The main goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glycopyrronium bromide and indacaterol maleate and glycopyrronium bromide fixed dose combination (FDC) in patients with moderate COPD who switch from their current COPD therapy. This study aims to provide data on how non-exacerbating, but still symptomatic patients with moderate COPD switching from their current COPD treatment to glycopyrronium bromide or indacaterol maleate and glycopyrronium bromide FDC maintain or improve their symptoms. Another purpose of this study is to increase awareness and usage of validated COPD symptoms tools and dyspnea questionnaires in order to facilitate clinical assessment and improve early diagnosis of symptomatic patients.

The study is performed to characterize the pharmacokinetics of glycopyrrolate bromide after single administration of CHF 5993 pressurised Metered Dose Inhaler (pMDI) in subjects with different level of renal impairment in comparison with matching healthy volunteers. Moreover, the safety and tolerability of the study drug will be also evaluated.

This study evaluates whether individualized dosing schedule of inhaled bronchodilator is more effective than fixed dosing in reducing airway resistance of intubated COPD patients.

This is a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, two way cross-over, 12 weeks noninferiority study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of FSC 250/50 mcg capsule-based inhaler and a multi-dose inhaler administered BID in adults with COPD. The primary objective of this study is to establish the non-inferiority of the efficacy of the FSC 250/50 mcg capsule-based inhaler compared to the FSC 250/50 mcg multi-dose inhaler administered BID. The study consists of 6 phases: Pre-screening, Screening/Run-in (3 weeks), Treatment Period 1 (12 weeks), Washout (minimum 4 weeks), Treatment Period 2 (12 weeks) and Follow-up (1 week). The total duration of the study for each subject will be at least 32 weeks.

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of 12 weeks once daily treatment with orally inhaled tiotropium + olodaterol FDC (delivered by the Respimat inhaler) compared with tiotropium and placebo in patients with COPD.

To evaluate in patients with stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) the efficacy of statins (simvastatin) on: (1) endothelial function; (2) systemic inflammation; (3)BODE (B: body mass , O: bronchial obstruction, D: dyspnea and, E: exercise tolerance) index; (4) Uric acid; and, (5)vascular growth factors. Design: a 12 weeks randomized (1:1), double-blind, placebo control study. Population: 18 males with stable COPD between 40-80 years of age, exsmokers, with Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) between 30 and 80% predicted post-bronchodilation.

This study will investigate the effects of interval walking training versus continuous walking training in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Patients will be recruited during a 3-week inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program and will be randomized to one of the two intervention groups. All walking training sessions will be performed on the same treadmill. Walking intensity in the continuous walking group will be 60 percent of the average speed of the 6-minute walking test. Patients in the interval training group will perform high intensity intervals at 120% of the 6-minute walking test speed for 60 seconds alternating with 60 seconds of rest. The total exercise duration will be progressively increased from 10 to 32 minutes.

A first sub-analysis of the BACE trial will address physical activity levels in a subgroup of the intervention study with portable validated activity monitors.

The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose, pilot study of orally-administered ivacaftor in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Subjects will be administered the study drug ivacaftor 150 mg (or placebo) twice daily (BID).

This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of once and twice daily TD-4208 and placebo when administered using a jet nebulizer for 7 days in a cross-over design to patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
