Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

The effectiveness of β2-agonists in the treatment of exacerbations of COPD is already established. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the β2-agonists alone in nebulization with the association β2-agonists + Ipratropium bromide in the treatment of an acute exacerbation of COPD consulting the emergency departement based on the clinical and arterial blood gas.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group study. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of umeclidinium/vilanterol (UMEC/VI) and fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (FSC) in subjects with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria at Screening will complete a 7 to 14 day Run-in period. At the end of the run-in period, approximately 710 eligible subjects will be equally randomized (to complete at least 568 evaluable subjects) to one of the 2 treatment groups for 12 weeks: 1. UMEC/VI 62.5/25 micrograms (mcg) administered as one inhalation once-daily in the morning via the Novel dry powder inhaler (NDPI) + placebo administered as one inhalation each morning and evening via single multidose powdered inhaler (ACCUHALER/DISKUS) or 2. FSC 500/50 mcg administered as one inhalation each morning and evening via ACCUHALER/DISKUS + placebo administered once-daily in the morning via NDPI. A safety Follow-up assessment will be conducted approximately 7 days after the end of the study treatment (Early Withdrawal, if applicable). The total duration of subject participation will be approximately 15 weeks.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Transcription Factor and Cytokine Study.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of BCT197 when added on to standard of care in adult subjects with acute respiratory exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease requiring hospitalization. Additionally, the study will characterize the pharmacokinetics of BCT197 in adults with COPD. The total duration of the study will be 26 weeks. Subjects will receive study treatment administration over a period of 5 days after randomization. It is expected that approximately 255 subjects will complete the study and follow-up.

GSK2269557 is a potent and highly selective inhaled Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase delta inhibitor being developed as an anti-inflammatory and anti-infective agent for the treatment of inflammatory airway diseases. The study will be conducted at a single centre and in 3 Parts. The aim of Part A and B of the study are to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) single and repeat doses of a new formulation of GSK2269557 administered via the ELLIPTA dry powder inhaler (DPI) to healthy subjects. This is the first study in which GSK2269557 will be administered via the ELLIPTA DPI. Part C of the study will investigate the proportion of the systemic exposure that post inhalation is due to the swallowed fraction of the inhaled dose. Part C will also be conducted using the ELLIPTA device and magnesium stearate formulation. Part A will be conducted first. Part B and Part C may be run sequentially or in parallel. Part A is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, single dose, dose escalating incomplete block 2-period crossover study in healthy subjects. Subjects will be randomized to receive either one dose strength of GSK2269557 and placebo utilizing placebo replacement, or will receive both active dose strengths. Part B is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, repeat dose study in healthy Subjects. Subjects will be randomized to receive either repeat doses of GSK2269557 or placebo for 10 days. Part C is a, randomized, open-label, crossover design to assess the systemic exposure of single doses of GSK2269557 administered via the ELLIPTA DPI to healthy subjects, with and without ingestion of activated charcoal. ELLIPTA is the registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline groups of companies.

The study will assess the long-term safety of the fixed combination product QVA149 versus placebo and a standard of care treatment (tiotropium) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients with moderate to severe airflow limitation.

In MediciNova's clinical development plan for MN-221, it was recognized that treatment of COPD exacerbations may necessitate more than one single i.v. infusion and that patients in this population may have more co-morbidities (and concomitant medications) than has been generally studied so far. Thus, the primary objective of this clinical study is to determine the repeated administration safety and tolerability of intravenous (i.v.) MN-221 compared to placebo with repeated administration over several days in moderate to severe COPD patients who may also have co-morbidities and concomitant medications (CM) common in this population. Secondary outcomes include pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary efficacy (FEV1). This Phase 1b trial follows naturally upon a Phase 1b COPD trial completed last year (MN-221-CL-010) and is additionally well-supported by relevant animal safety data and human clinical trial information.

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).

The overall objective of this study is to determine an optimal dose and dosing regimen of PT001 MDI for further evaluation in later stage studies.
