Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

The MACH Study trial will examine the impact on high complexity COPD patients of a multidimensional approach (moderate-intensity physical activity program and clinic-therapeutic re-evaluation of the participants)

This trial will study the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of Pulmonary Diseases

Study is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group study evaluating efficacy and safety of revefenacin vs. tiotropium in adults with severe to very severe COPD and suboptimal PIFR.

As protocol NCT04223050. This substudy furthermore investigates the role of oxidative stress in the administration of oxygen in COPD patients.

Eccentric muscle work is defined as lengthening of a muscle while applying force. It was shown that with eccentric work, muscles are able to perform four times as much power compared to usual concentric work, which results in huge training gain with a highly decreased oxygen demand and thus lower cardiovascular load. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a chronic condition associated with significant reduced exercise capacity and increased morbidity and mortality, resulting in reduced quality of life. Physical training has been shown to be beneficial in PH, even in severely limited patients. However, due to cardiopulmonary constraints in PH, training intensities may be very low, so that many patients are physically almost unable to perform exercise on a high enough level to maintain muscle mass. A low body muscle not only feeds the vicious cycle of decreasing exercise capacity, but also has many deleterious metabolic and immunological consequences which further increase disability and decrease quality of life in PH. Thus, eccentric training, which allows to gain muscle mass with a low stress to the cardiopulmonary unit may to be highly beneficial for patients with PH and allied cardiopulmonary disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure. Therefore, the aim of the study is to compare differences in oxygen uptake (peak VO2 [l/min]) and other physiological measures during similar cardiopulmonary exercise test protocols of eccentric- vs. concentric cycling in PH- patients and comparators with or without other cardiopulmonary diseases.

The goal of the trial is to establish a method, material, and patient-specific stent design that will last longer, fit better, and cause less trauma to the airway and the patient.

This is a double-blind randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of perioperative dual bronchodilator therapy on post-operative pulmonary function and health-related quality of life (QoL) in mild-to-moderate less symptomatic COPD patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. Investigators hypothesized that dual bronchodilator, as compared with placebo, would prevent reduction of pulmonary function after surgical resection and improve postoperative health related QoL.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a public health problem: high prevalence; increasing morbidity and mortality; impact on health costs. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a multidisciplinary intervention combining exercise training, therapeutic education, psychosocial and behavioral interventions. Its effects are beneficial in the short and medium terms but are limited in time, between 6 and 12 months, for patients who do not pursue regular physical activity (PA) in post-rehabilitation and who do not adopt behavioral changes for health, by loss of motivation. Maintaining the long-term benefits acquired during a short-term PR program is therefore a major issue in the management of COPD. The recent development of remote rehabilitation is a promising approach that has been studied in few studies. In a randomized, controlled and multicenter study, we propose to test the hypothesis that the use of a mobile telerehabilitation solution will allow COPD patients to mainain at long-term the benefits acquired during a short-temr programm and therfore improve their quality of life.

TQC3721 suspension for inhalation is a PDE3/4 inhibitor developed by Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co., LTD., which can simultaneously achieve bronchial smooth muscle relaxation and anti-inflammatory effects. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-parallel, phase II trial of the efficacy and safety of inhaled TQC3721 suspension/placebo at different doses in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Objective To evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of TQC3721 inhalation suspension in the treatment of moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Main objective: To compare the level of physical activity (PAL) at 12 months in patients with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) between those who completed a health education program and those who did not. Study patients. Subjects older than 35 years; diagnosis of moderate to very severe COPD (FEV1 <80% predicted), established at least 3 months; current or former smoker with an accumulated consumption >10 packs x year; and hospital admission for COPD exacerbation. Design. Randomized, parallel and open-label clinical trial, controlled with conventional treatment. Intervention: During hospitalization, selected patients will receive conventional treatment. At discharge, they will be randomized (1:1) to control group [treatment and follow-up according to conventional clinical practice] or intervention group [in addition to conventional treatment and follow-up, the patients will be referred to a nursing consultation for perform two health education sessions, at 15 and 30 days after hospital discharge]. Measurements. At 15 days and 12 months after discharge, the following determinations will be made: anthropometric characteristics; clinical evaluation (smoking history, date of COPD diagnosis, comorbidities, current medication; health care utilization; moderate or severe COPD exacerbations); questionnaires (mMRC, Charlson, COPD-specific co-morbidity test (COTE), COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and LCADL), spirometry and six-minutes walking test; and evaluation of daily physical activity using an accelerometer.
