Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases, Obstructive"

This study assessed the efficacy and safety of indacaterol (150 µg once daily [od]) when combined with tiotropium (18 µg od) versus tiotropium (18 µg od) treatment alone in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The purpose of this study is to compare differences in oxygen delivery between portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) and liquid oxygen (LOs) portable units, pose a question if POCs are equally effective as LOs in reducing exercise-induced hypoxaemia. DESIGN: Randomized, single-blind clinical trial.

This is a four month exercise training program for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)with a 12 month follow-up.

A randomised controlled trial will be performed to evaluate the effects of lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in patients with COPD on systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial function, arterial stiffness and blood pressure. We hypothesize that LVRS will lead to a reduction of systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, arterial stiffness and blood pressure and to improved endothelial function. For this purpose 30 patients with severe/very severe COPD (GOLD III-IV) and pulmonary emphysema who are to undergo LVRS will be randomised to one of two groups: group 1 receiving immediate LVRS and group 2 receiving LVRS after a delay of 3 months. Measures of systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial function, arterial stiffness and blood pressure will be measured at baseline and 3 months after surgery and no surgery, respectively (group 2 receiving surgery only after a delay of 3 months will serve as control group) to investigate the effects of LVRS on the described outcomes.

The main purpose of this study is to assess the long term bronchodilator efficacy, safety and tolerability of inhaled aclidinium bromide at two dose levels compared to placebo in COPD patients and the benefits of the product in disease-related health status, COPD symptoms and COPD exacerbations.

This study compared the effects of a single dose of indacaterol with that of a single dose of tiotropium on inspiratory capacity.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary performance of the ROX Anastomotic Coupler System (ACS), with standard of care (as defined per GOLD) in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as compared to standard of care alone.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of OPC-6535 in COPD patients, using the measurement of trough FEV1 over time as the primary endpoint.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on exercise tolerance, lung function and symptoms after treatment with Symbicort, Oxis or placebo in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine if SYMBICORT® delivered via a pressurized metered-dose inhaler, referred to as a pMDI, is effective in preventing COPD exacerbations.
