Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

Targeted Lung Denervation (TLD) Therapy will be a safe method to ablate the airway nerve trunks that travel parallel to and outside of the main bronchi and into the lungs to achieve targeted lung denervation and potentially improve breathing and quality of life for patients suffering from COPD. Use of the IPS System will be technically feasible in accessing the target treatment location and delivering RF energy to the target treatment location.

This will be a Phase IIIb multicentre, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, 12-week parallel group study evaluating the effects of once daily in the morning treatment of FF/VI Inhalation Powder versus Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol Inhalation Powder twice daily on lung function in COPD subjects. Subjects will be screened and will enter a 2-week, single-blind (placebo), Run-In Period to evaluate the subject's adherence with study treatment, study procedures and assessment of disease stability. At the end of the Run-In Period, subjects will return to the Clinic and who meet all of the Randomization Criteria will be randomized to double-blind study medication (12-week treatment period). Subjects will be randomized to receive either FF/VI 100/25 via NDPI or Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol 250/50mcg via ACCUHALER/DISKUS. Matching placebos will be available in NDPI and ACCUHALER/DISKUS. Each morning (approximately 6-10 AM) subjects will take 1 inhalation from the NDPI followed by 1 inhalation from the ACCUHALER/DISKUS. Each evening (approximately 6-10 PM), approximately 12 hours after the morning dose with blinded study medication, subjects will take 1 inhalation from the ACCUHALER/DISKUS. Subjects will return to the clinic at the end of the treatment period. A follow-up phone contact will be performed approximately 7 days after the last clinic visit. The overall study duration (Screening to Follow-up) for each subject is approximately 15 weeks.

The primary objective of the study is to test the hypothesis that lung hyperinflation contributes to cardiac dysfunction in COPD and that the treatment of lung deflation with FF/VI Inhalation Powder 100/25 mcg administered once daily (QD) will result in the reversal of this cardiac dysfunction compared with placebo. This will be assessed by measures of right and left global and regional systolic and diastolic cardiac function as assessed using a 30 minute CMR. A secondary objective will be to investigate the effect of FF/VI inhalation powder 100/25mcg QD on measures of arterial stiffness in the form of pulse wave analysis and distensability in the pulmonary and systemic circulation.

This trial in healthy subjects will assess PUR118's effect on attenuating ozone induced airway inflammation. This trial will establish the tolerability of PUR118 in healthy normal volunteers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of ASM-024 administered as a dry powder for inhalation formulation to patients with GOLD 2 or GOLD 3 COPD.

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of aclidinium bromide/formoterol fumarate and salmeterol/fluticasone propionate in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of JNJ 49095397 in participants with symptomatic moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The objective of this study is to confirm that chronic dosing of 20 mcg and 40 mcg of ipratropium bromide, administered via the RESPIMAT device, demonstrates clinical comparability and similar safety profiles to the 36 mcg dose of ATROVENT® Inhalation Aerosol (containing chlorinated fluorocarbons (CFC)) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The efficacy and safety profiles of the two doses administered via the RESPIMAT device will also be compared to their respective placebo groups

This pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic dose-ranging study aims to determine the optimal dose of tiotropium inhaled as a solution from a Respimat device once a day for three weeks in patients with COPD.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the efficacy of the combination product QVA149 is similar to the efficacy of the combination product umeclidinium/vilanterol on a pre-specified endpoint of FEV1 AUC0-24h while maintaining an acceptable safety profile.
