Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

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 investigates the effects of targeted re-treatment of patients who do not recover from an exacerbation of COPD. Half of the patients will receive ciprofloxacin while the other half will receive a placebo.

The investigators are looking at whether a new type of nebuliser (a machine used to deliver drugs to the airways) is better at delivering drugs to the lungs of people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), compared with the current nebulisers used in Emergency Departments. The investigators will randomly allocate patients who come into the Emergency Department with an acute episode of the COPD into either the standard nebuliser group or the new nebuliser group. Both groups will receive the same medications, it is only the method of delivering them which will be different.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of aclidinium bromide 400 μg BID compared with placebo on COPD symptoms in a symptomatic patients population with moderate COPD and chronic bronchitis, and particularly assess the effects in cough by using specific tools to assess the occurrence and impact of this relevant COPD symptom.

This study assessed the effect of QVA149 on patient-reported dyspnea in moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of MEDI8968 on the rate of moderate or severe acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in adult subjects with symptomatic, moderate to very severe COPD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease - GOLD stage II-IV) receiving standard maintenance therapy for the underlying disease condition.

In the current study GSK961081 and fluticasone propionate will be administered in a blended formulation from a single device and compared with GSK961081 and fluticasone propionate administered alone and concurrently. This is a single centre, randomized, double-blind, double dummy, single dose, four way cross-over study investigating the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of GSK961081 and fluticasone propionate when administered alone, concurrently and as a combination blend in healthy subjects.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether different types of breathing therapies in patients with COPD III-IV decrease dyspnea and increase activity.

dose-finding study to assess the optimal dose of glycopyrrolate daily dose on top of BDP/FF in COPD patients.
