Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

GSK2269557 is being developed as an anti-inflammatory and anti-infective agent for the treatment of inflammatory airways diseases. This is the first study using a new formulation of GSK2269557 in healthy subjects and will evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of a single dose of GSK2269557. Data derived from this study will inform on the PK profile and systemic exposure expected during Phase 2b. Approximately twelve healthy subjects will be randomized to receive a single dose of GSK2269557 750 micrograms (µg) or a single dose of GSK2269557 500 µg via the ELLIPTA® dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulated in a blend containing 0.4 percent magnesium stearate (MgSt) in 1:1 ratio. This randomized, parallel group study will be carried out in 3 phases, including screening phase, treatment phase and follow-up phase. The total study duration for each subject will be up to 6 weeks. ELLIPTA is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline group of companies.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of our developed week-treatment program GAPP, on strength, balance, speed, functionality and cognition, with the main goal to achieve a better independence for activities of daily living (ADL). Each day of the week an exercise program of 45 minutes is given assigned to a specific aspect of the rehabilitation; strength, balance, speed, functional training and one day is for testing or group therapy. Participants will be followed for four weeks, with testing on day one, after two weeks and at the last day of the four-week program.

This is an open-label study to evaluate the PK of FF/UMEC/VI in dose combinations of 100/62.5/25 mcg after single and repeat dose administration from a DPI in healthy Chinese subjects. This study will evaluate the systemic pharmacokinetics (PK), of FF/UMEC/VI in Chinese healthy population when administered using dry powder inhaler (DPI)as a blended combination of UMEC/VI in one strip and FF in the second strip in dose combinations of 100/62.5/25 mcg. The triple, fixed dose combination product Fluticasone furoate(FF)/ Vilanterol (VI) /Umeclidinium bromide (UMEC) with new configuration enables the delivery of inhaled long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), Long-acting beta2 agonist (LABA) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) from a single device. Approximately 16 subjects will be enrolled in the study. After taking into account the allowable time windows for screening, treatment and follow-up, a subject will be in the study for a maximum duration of 6-7 weeks.

A placebo-controlled trial to determine whether recent ex-smokers with COPD who successfully stop smoking after taking varenicline are less likely to relapse back to smoking if they continue using varenicline for a further 12 weeks

This phase IIb randomized trial studies how well cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) supplementation works in strengthening inspiratory muscles in cholecalciferol-deficient patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cholecalciferol supplementation may help reduce the risk of developing lung cancer and strengthen the diaphragm in cholecalciferol-deficient patients with COPD.

Study to investigate the effect of 14-day treatment with BIIL 284 BS on sputum neutrophils and specific inflammatory markers in patients with clinically well-defined moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Study to assess the safety of two-week administration of 80 and 160 mcg of ipratropium bromide as delivered by the RESPIMAT® device and as determined by 24 hours ambulatory ECG monitoring in COPD patients. To assess the overall safety of the two doses of ipratropium bromide as delivered by the RESPIMAT® device when administered over a two-week period.

The aim of this multi-centre, double blind, randomised, controlled trial (DBRCT) is to assess the effect of low dose theophylline, singly and in combination with low dose oral prednisone, on COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) exacerbations, quality of life and secondary clinical outcomes compared with usual therapy and placebo over 48 weeks of treatment. 1670 symptomatic patients with COPD will be recruited in China for comparison of low dose theophylline versus placebo and low dose theophylline + low dose prednisone The primary end-point for this study is the annualised COPD exacerbation rate between the treatment groups. Secondary outcomes included time to first severe exacerbation requiring hospitalisation or death, health status, and pre- and post-bronchodilator spirometry.

The overall objective is to assess the effect of once daily tiotropium + olodaterol fixed dose combination compared to 5 µg tiotropium (both delivered with the Respimat® inhaler) on moderate to severe COPD exacerbation in patients with severe to very severe COPD.

The study assessed the safety and ability of several doses of an orally inhaled medicine [ie, Glycopyrrolate Inhalation Solution = GIS] to improve airflow in the lungs when delivered with an electronic eFlow nebulizer system in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The study was conducted in 12 patients in 2 parts. Part 1 was designed to find the once-a- day GIS dose that produced the highest improvement in lung airflow. Part 2 tested the GIS dose with the highest improvement in lung airflow and a placebo (ie, no drug) delivered by a general purpose nebulizer. The airflow improvements of the same GIS dose were compared between the two nebulizer systems to determine what effect the device had on GIS delivery.
