Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

This is a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind 3-way crossover study in which PUR1800, or placebo is dosed daily for 14 consecutive days in adult subjects with stable COPD over three discrete TPs. Subjects will be randomised to one of the following 3 treatment sequences: Sequence Period 1 Period 2 Period 3 Placebo PUR1800 250 μg PUR1800 500 μg PUR1800 250 μg Placebo PUR1800 500 μg PUR1800 250 μg PUR1800 500 μg Placebo Since this is the first study in humans in which the iSPERSE formulation is being administered, the 3 treatment sequences are designed in order to ensure that the lower dose of PUR1800 (250 μg) is administered prior to the administration of the higher dose of PUR1800 (500 μg).

Increasing Physical activity (PA) is considered to be an important factor in an efficient management of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The successful methods required to achieve improvements in PA following Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR), however are sparsely reported. Therefore, the investigators conduct this trial to evaluate the effectiveness of using a COPD management program delivered to the patient through a mobile medical application Kaia COPD-App, after the completion of a PR.

The goal of observational study is to evaluate effectiveness of predicting the integrity of interlobar fissures based on chest image AI technology in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease who will undergo lung volume reduction surgery with endobronchial valve implantation. The main question it aims to answer is: evaluation of the effectiveness of predicting the integrity of interlobar fissures based on chest image AI technology. Participants will be evaluated by lung CT (quantitative analysis based on chest image AI technology and artificial analysis) and imported Chartis detection system.

The research objective for this pilot study is to design the first care pathway to implement COPD care in a community oncology clinic. Using a mixed-methods user-centered design process, investigators will ensure the feasibility of evidence-based practices in this setting. The results of this pilot study will directly inform a randomized controlled trial to measure whether COPD control reduces hospitalization risk.

This is a 6 week crossover study in smokers with and without COPD to evaluate whether 2 weeks of dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin 81mg and clopidogrel 75mg) improves pulmonary perfusion (i.e. blood flow in the lungs measured on a contrast CT scan) compared to placebo.

This study aims to assess the effect of EP395 against an induced inflammation of the lung. In addition, further data about the safety and tolerability of EP395 will be collected. To investigate the efficacy of EP395 at the end of the treatment with EP395 or placebo (dummy), all participants will inhale a lipopolysaccharide (a molecule composed of sugar and fat) that artificially induces an acute inflammation of the airways. It is assumed that participants who received EP395 will show less inflammation of the airways than participants who received placebo.

The purpose of this study is to examine if educational intervention in high risk patients can lead to decreased hospital readmissions when compared to patients who are not in the intervention program. Additionally, to determine patient satisfaction with the educational program.

COPD is characterized by an airflow limitation, which is not fully reversible, usually progressive and accompanied by chronic cough, sputum production and dyspnea, which can be a major cause of disability and anxiety associated with the disease. In addition, COPD is associated with poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Pharmacologic therapy is used to improve lung function, reduce symptoms, reduce the frequency and severity of exacerbations, and also to improve health status and exercise tolerance. This is a multi-center, randomized, double blind, double dummy, 3-arm parallel group study to compare umeclidinium/vilanterol (62.5/25 microgram [mcg], once daily), umeclidinium (62.5 mcg, once daily), and salmeterol (50 mg, twice daily) in male and female subjects with COPD. The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate improvements in lung function for subjects treated with UMEC/VI compared with UMEC for 24 weeks. Approximately 2424 subjects will be randomized across 3 parallel arms in 1:1:1 ratio. Subjects will be stratified based on long-acting bronchodilator usage during the run-in period (none, one or 2 long-acting bronchodilators per day). Subjects will receive either UMEC/VI inhalation powder (62.5/25 microgram [mcg] once daily) administered via the ELLIPTA® dry powder inhaler (DPI) and placebo twice daily via DISKUS® DPI; or UMEC (62.5 mcg once daily) administered via the ELLIPTA DPI and placebo twice daily via DISKUS DPI or salmeterol (50 mcg twice daily [BID]) administered via the DISKUS DPI and placebo once daily via ELLIPTA DPI. The duration of the study will be 29 to 31 weeks including a pre-screening period of 2 weeks, run-in period of 4 weeks, treatment period of 24 weeks and follow-up period of 1 week.

Danirixin (DNX) is a selective CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR2) antagonist being developed as a potential anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of COPD. This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind (Sponsor Open) study. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical activity and safety of danirixin compared with placebo in participants with COPD. Following baseline assessments collected over a 7 day period participants will be randomized (1:1:1:1:1:1) to receive one of five dose strengths of danirixin (5 milligram [mg], 10 mg, 25 mg, 35 mg and 50 mg) or placebo. Study treatment will be administered orally twice daily for 24 weeks. Participants will continue with their standard of care inhaled medications (i.e. long acting bronchodilators with or without inhaled corticosteroids) while receiving study treatment. Follow up will continue up to 28 days post last dose. Approximately 700 participants will be screened with a target of 540 participants completing 24 weeks of treatment and key study assessments.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of tiotropium + olodaterol fixed-dose combination (FDC) (5 μg/ 5 μg) delivered by the RESPIMAT inhaler after single dose and at steady state in Chinese patients with COPD. The secondary objective is to assess the safety of tiotropium + olodaterol FDC (5 μg/ 5 μg) delivered by the RESPIMAT inhaler after 3 weeks once daily treatment in Chinese patients with COPD.
