Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases"

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, preventable, and treatable disease, that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs that causes persistent obstructive airflow limitation. Acute exacerbation, especially frequent exacerbation, is associated with an increased risk of death in COPD patients. The most common causes of acute attacks are viral and bacterial infections. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of sitafloxacin, a quinolone antibacterial drug, in participants with AECOPD.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses of CHF6001 (Tanimilast), as add-on to maintenance triple therapy in the target patient population.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common pulmonary manifestation of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). The overall 5-year mortality is 50%. The prognosis is poor and the treatment is challenging.At present, according to the consensus of IIM-ILD experts, glucocorticoids as first-line treatment are often used in high doses and have a variety of adverse reactions. Previous studies have shown that cyclophosphamide (CYC) is effective for IIM-ILD and tends to be used in rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease（RP-ILD）or refractory ILD. However, CYC is an alkylating agent with many toxic and side effects. It is prone to gonadal inhibition, infection, tumor, hemorrhagic cystitis and other risks. At present, Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) has been widly used in the treatment of IIM, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), ANCA associated vasculitis (AAV). The observational research on MMF in the treatment of IIM-ILD shows that it can delay the progress of pulmonary fibrosis and can be used as the first-line treatment of IIM-ILD. Moreover, immune tolerance caused by defects in the number and/or quality of regulatory T cells (Treg) is considered to be a key source of autoimmune diseases. However, it is unclear whether MMF can improve the immune status of IIM-ILD by increasing Treg cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of MMF for IIM-ILD and its effcts on Treg through a prospective open single arm study, and provide a theoretical basis for the individualized treatment of IIM-ILD, which has important clinical significance.

This research study is evaluating the effectiveness of escalating doses of Amitriptyline and Duloxetine in reducing cough frequency in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD)-related cough.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of a real time video telehealth pulmonary rehabilitation intervention with standard of care in patients hospitalized for an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to determine the impact on hospital readmissions and respiratory morbidity, and to investigate the cost-effectiveness of the intervention.

The purpose of the MK-2225-002 (A1334-02) study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK-2225 (ACE-1334) plus standard of care (SOC) in participants with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) following multiple doses.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide with the characterization of obstructed airflow. In a large number of patients, diffusion function is impaired along with the progression of disease. REGEND001 Autologous Therapy Product, made from bronchial basal cells with ability to regenerate lung tissue, is promising to COPD treatment. In this study, a multicenter, randomized, single-blind, placebo-parallel-controlled trial is performed to assess the efficacy and safety of REGEND001 Autologous Therapy Product in treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with pulmonary diffusion dysfunction.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate exercise strategies that motivate and relive stress in adults with chronic lung conditions. The goals of this study are as follows: To explore the feasibility (how easily it can be done) of using self-selected music during exercise training for adults with chronic lung conditions. To assess patient satisfaction of self-selected music with exercise for adults with chronic lung conditions. To explore the immediate effects of self-selected music on mood and symptoms (shortness of breath and fatigue) compared with listening to a podcast during their exercise training session Participants will: Select 3-4 songs and 1 podcast to listen to during their treatment session Walk on the treadmill while either listening to a podcast or music for 10 minutes Fill out surveys about their mood, symptoms (shortness of breath and fatigue), music/podcast, and exercise

We are conducting this study to check the effects of active cycle of breathing technique with or without acapella on airway clearance, dyspnea and pulmonary function test in COPD patients. Study design will be randomized controlled trial. Research will be conducted at Aziz Bhatti Shaheed Teaching Hospital and National Hospital Gujrat. Written informed consent will be obtained. Patients will be allocated randomly in two groups. Subjects will meet the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Questionnaire used as subjective measurements of dyspnea and sputum will be given and pulmonary function test values will be obtained prior to any intervention. One group will receive active cycle of breathing technique and the other group will receive active cycle of breathing technique with acapella device. Every subject will perform supervised ACBTs with and without acapella for four weeks. Three sessions per week will be given with 20 repetitions in two sets. At the end of 4 weeks treatment session, pulmonary function test values will be monitored and questionnaire will be obtained for dyspnea and sputum. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 25

This investigator-initiated, prospective, single center, randomized, controlled clinical trial enrolled patients with stable Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease stage II-IV chronic obstruction pulmonary disease. The primary outcome was 2-year acute exacerbation rates.
