Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical features and long-term outcome of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-positive interstitial lung disease (ILD) and assess the difference between microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) associated ILD and isolated ANCA-positive idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.

To explore the HRCT phenotype of the combined COPD assessment staging system

The primary objectives of the study are to use US and UK data to describe the characteristics of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients according to various demographic, lifestyle, clinical, and medication use.

The primary objective of this non-interventional study (NIS) is to evaluate changes within 3 months in quality of life according to health status evaluated with the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) in COPD patients who have recently switched (within one week) from tiotropium monotherapy (Spiriva® Handihaler®) to dual therapy with tiotropium bromide plus olodaterol (Spiolto® Respimat®), in the Greek private and public sector pulmonary offices and clinics.

Secondary data analysis will be performed as our approach to complete the study. A nationally representative dataset (BRFSS, 2017) will be used to answer the above hypotheses.

A retrospective analysis study in COPD patients for an exact follow-up period of 12 months (in subgroup analyses: 24 and 36 months); censoring of patients will only be done in case a patient died during the respective follow-up period.

The intention with the study is to have a better understanding of what happens to COPD patients' symptoms, lung function and markers of inflammation over 12 weeks. This information will increase the understanding of COPD and how to design new treatments for COPD in the future.

HYPID study is an observational and prospective study of patients with interstitial lung disease and pre capillary hypertension diagnosed by right heart sided catheterization. The primary aim of the study is to identify prognostic factors.

This is a cross-sectional validation study, designed to evaluate the discriminative validity of the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test translated in a local language in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of pulmonary embolism in our population of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients admitted to hospital with dyspnea. The patients will undergo investigation for pulmonary embolism, according to current guidelines.
