Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

Menthol inhalation (MI) is a novel and promising treatment option for acute relief of dyspnea, however, the underlying ventilatory and/or neural related mechanisms for this relief in symptoms remain unknown. The overall aim of this research project is to systematically examine the mechanisms of dyspnea relief from MI in healthy individuals and those with COPD.

This is a phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQC3721 Suspension for Inhalation in patients with moderate to severe Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and to explore the efficacy of astegolimab in participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have completed the 52-week placebo-controlled treatment period in parent studies GB43311 or GB44332.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by nonreversible airway obstruction. A diagnosis of COPD is determined by clinical assessment of airflow limitation and symptoms such as cough and wheeze; however, the detrimental effect of COPD symptoms on a patient's quality of life is often underestimated. Rehabilitation exercise can lessen the possibility of the progressive exacerbation of the patient's condition, exerting an active role in improving their lung function and the quality of the patients' life .Therefore, Active cycle breathing techniques (ACBT) is a cycle of techniques consisting of breathing control, lower thoracic expansion exercises and the forced expiration technique modifiable for every patient to reduce condition . The effect of ELTGOL on mucus clearance of right and left lungs, especially of peripheral lung areas, in stable patients with COPD . A couple of relaxed breaths and when you are ready go on to your huff. Repeat the huff two or three times until you have the urge to cough. Once you have cleared your chest have a few normal relaxed breaths and start the cycle over again with deep breaths and huffs. A Randomized clinical trial, subjects with age group between 4O-70 years. In Group -A subjects (n=15) were treated with Active Cycle of Breathing Technique where Group-B subjects (n=15) received ELTGOL training . This study is to compare the effectiveness of ACBT and ELTGOL on improving the Quality Of Life and increasing Functional Capacity in subjects with COPD . Assessment will be done before and after intervention and result will be analyzed using statistical package for social sciences SPSS 20.

This study was designed in order to evaluate the compliance of a pulmonary rehabilitation program using a wearable device and the application effect of the program according to the characteristics of each patient, in COPD patients.

This is a Phase 1b, single center study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSK3923868 following repeat doses in mild asthmatics during experimental human rhinovirus 16 (HRV-16) infection. The study will be conducted in two parts. Part A will determine the efficacy of GSK3923868 administration after viral inoculation (i.e., therapeutic treatment) and Part B may be undertaken to determine the efficacy of GSK3923868 administration before viral inoculation (i.e., prophylactic treatment). The purpose of this study is to establish proof-of-mechanism that GSK3923868 treatment can reduce symptoms of Human Rhinovirus (HRV) infection in a controlled setting.

The purpose of this study is to test whether breathing control exercises embedded in occupational therapy sessions have an impact on quality of life and dyspnea in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The purpose of this Phase III study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tozorakimab Dose 1 and Dose 2 administered subcutaneously (SC) in adult participants with symptomatic COPD and history of ≥ 2 moderate or ≥ 1 severe exacerbation of COPD in the previous 12 months. Participants should be receiving optimised treatment with maintenance inhaled therapy (ICS/LABA/LAMA triple therapy, or dual therapy if triple is not considered appropriate) in stable doses throughout at least 3 months prior to enrolment.

Chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (CHRF) in the context of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) is associated with increased mortality. The availability and effectiveness of domiciliary Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) treatment (when indicated) is key as this treatment can improve quality of life and reduce health-care costs from associated burden of disease. The emerging obesity epidemic means that there is now increased home mechanical ventilation set-ups in patients with obesity related respiratory failure (ORRF), yet there are no alternative treatments for patients struggling with domiciliary NIV. Domiciliary NHF has been shown to improve health related quality of life in stable CHRF in patients with COPD and improve cost effectiveness yet there are no current studies looking at the use of domiciliary NHF and its outcomes in ORRF. The study aims to deliver a pre and post intervention study evaluating patient reported and clinical outcomes in patients using NHF over twelve weeks, who have either COPD or OHS and have been unable to use domiciliary NIV. The study wishes to address key outcomes such as quality of life, clinical effectiveness, compliance and acceptability with the use of domiciliary NHF in both of these patient populations.

Living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease (ILD) imposes enormous daily challenges, especially at advanced stages, not just to patients but also to informal caregivers. Their needs are not fully addressed by disease-modifying treatments. A key strategy to improve their well-being is the early integration of palliative care into routine management of COPD and ILD. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), one of the most well-established and cost-effective interventions in chronic respiratory diseases may be a suitable venue for this approach. The main goal of this randomised controlled study is to explore the effects of palliative care education as part of PR in people with COPD or ILD and informal caregivers. The primary question to be addressed is: "Does integrating education about palliative care in PR improve knowledge on this subject?". The investigators will compare PR with palliative care education (experimental) with traditional PR (control) in people with COPD or ILD and informal caregivers. The intervention will include an education session about palliative care, a "Peer-to-peer session", a "Get-apart session" and online sessions. A mixed-methods approach will be used to evaluate the outcomes. This study will provide an evidence-based insight into personalised PR with palliative care education for people with COPD or ILD and informal caregivers.
