Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases"

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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LUM/IVA combination therapy in subjects 12 years and older with CF and advanced lung disease and who are homozygous for the F508del CFTR mutation

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.

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.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of Targeted Lung Denervation Therapy (or TLD TherapyTM) in patients suffering from COPD. Technical feasibility of the IPS SystemTM will also be evaluated through confirmation of successful application of TLD Therapy.

COPD is a progressive disease characterized by increasing obstruction to airflow and the progressive development of respiratory symptoms including chronic cough, increased sputum production, dyspnea and wheezing. Once-daily triple therapy of an Inhaled Corticosteroid/ Long-acting Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists/ Long Acting Beta-Agonist (ICS/LAMA/LABA) that is combination of FF/UMEC/VI in a single device is being developed with the aim of providing a new treatment option for the management of advanced COPD. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate lung function and health related quality of life (HRQoL) after 84 days of treatment with a single inhaler triple therapy combination of FF/ UMEC/VI once daily via the ELLIPTA® dry powder inhaler (DPI) compared with tiotropium once daily via HANDIHALER®, in subjects with COPD. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive FF/UMEC/VI or tiotropium in the morning for 84 days. Subjects will also receive albuterol/salbutamol as a rescue therapy throughout the study. Approximately 848 subjects with advanced COPD will be enrolled in the study. The total study duration will be approximately 17 weeks including, 4-week run-in period, 12-week treatment period and a 1-week follow-up period.

AZD8871 is a new chemical entity possessing long-acting effect in a single molecule which presents a novel treatment approach to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD] and potentially also asthma (in combination with an inhaled corticosteroid [ICS]). The therapeutic goal for AZD8871 is a treatment with greater efficacy than single mechanism bronchodilators, with an equivalent or superior safety and tolerability profile. The primary purpose of this study is to check the safety and tolerability of AZD8871 at steady state. A multiple ascending dose (MAD) design has been selected for this study following the first time in man (FTIM), single ascending dose (SAD) study. Three dose levels will be tested in an ascending manner. The first dose to be administered will be 300 μg and the 2 subsequent doses will be decided based on safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) data generated in the previous dose. The aim of this study is to also enable further investigations in healthy subjects to evaluate and develop AZD8871 as a dual action bronchodilator with an acceptable side-effect profile compared to other inhaled bronchodilators on the market as a treatment for COPD and asthma.
