Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases"

The aim of this study to evaluate clinical efficacy of tiotropium in patients with airflow obstruction due to Tuberculosis (TB) destroyed lung.

This is a prospective, longitudinal observational study to provide data regarding the natural course of hypercapnia in premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia using both available blood pCO2 and measured capnography, as well as relate the degree and trend of hypercapnia to later respiratory outcomes.

Listening to breath sounds with the stethoscope/auscultation is used by pulmonary physicians in conjunction with pulmonary function, signs and symptoms, oxygen saturation and diagnostic testing to admit, follow and discharge patients from hospital. Of these, only auscultation routinely ceases upon discharge from Hospital. Healthcare utilization statistics have shown that for more than a decade, readmission after discharge for an exacerbation of COPD or severe asthma (or chronic heart failure) remains a major problem. The Strados RESP Biosensor has been designed to extend the range of lung sound recording both geographically and temporally to improve the standard of care when access to continuous monitoring has been replaced by periodic or no monitoring. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the associations between RESP Biosensor-acquired lung findings and subjective measures of respiratory symptoms as measured by validated measurement tools, and objective measure of respiratory physiology as determined by home spirometry

This Expanded Access Program in Belgium is open to people with different lung diseases. This program provides a medicine called nintedanib to people who have no alternative treatment options. They can participate if they have a type of lung disease called non-IPF ILDs (chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases with a progressive phenotype other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). Participants take 2 capsules of nintedanib a day. The treating physician checks the health of the participants and notes health problems that could have been caused by nintedanib. Participants receive nintedanib as long as they benefit or until nintedanib becomes commercially available in Belgium. For a patient to participate in this program, their treating physician should apply to Boehringer Ingelheim.

This is an Expanded Access Program (EAP) for eligible participants with Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD) designed to provide access to Inhaled Treprostinil. Availability will depend on territory elegibility.

This Expanded Access Program (EAP) is intended to facilitate the availability of OFEV® (nintedanib) to children and adolescents with chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) on top of current standard of care treatment and for whom no satisfactory authorized alternative therapy exists and who cannot participate in the ongoing 1199-0378 trial.

This Expanded Access Program is intended to facilitate the availability of OFEV to patients suffering from non Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis-Interstitial Lung Disease (non IPF-ILD) with a progressive clinical course despite Standard of Care treatment and for whom no satisfactory authorised alternative therapy exists or who cannot enter a clinical trial.

For patients with emphysema, lung volume reduction by insertion of endobronchial valves could be an expedient approach to improve the diaphragm function and the strength of breathing muscles. Therefore in the present study investigators intend to examine, whether the lung volume reduction by valves might improve the physical capacity and the quality of life.
