Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases, Obstructive"

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of automated oxygen titration compared to the usual fixed dose oxygen on the patient's ability to perform activities of daily living.

The purpose of this Phase III study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tozorakimab administered subcutaneously (SC) in adult participants with symptomatic COPD with a history of ≥ 2 moderate or ≥ 1 severe exacerbations of COPD in the 12 months prior to enrolment. Participants should be receiving optimised treatment with inhaled maintenance therapy (ICS/LABA/LAMA triple therapy, or dual therapy if triple is not considered appropriate) throughout at least the last 3 months prior to enrolment.

The primary objective of the current randomized controlled trial is to assess feasibility of integrating digital remote patient monitoring (dRPM) with the an enhanced Breathe Easy Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program for Individuals with COPD and Comorbidities (BEPR+), including aspects such as recruitment, retention, patient adherence, technology acceptability, adverse events, and staffing resources. The secondary objectives include comparing clinical outcomes (such as functional capacity, health status, quality of life, self-management, psychosocial health, physical activity and self-efficacy) between those who receive dRPM and BEPR+ (dRPM+) vs. those who receive BEPR+ alone.

Background： Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) mode is a new mode of ventilator, using electronic potential of diaphragm to adjust tidal volume. At the same time, this mode can trigger and cycle-off inspiratory time by high sensitivity of electronic potential of diaphragm, increase patient-ventilator synchrony, reduce sedative drug, improve oxygenation, shorten mechanical ventilation day and reduce the rate of diaphragm atrophy. It can improve survival rate and hospital day of patients. Both the animal and human experiment have the effect of lung and diaphragm protection Effect： The results of this trial are expected to obtain electronic potential of diaphragm in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease. Reviewing the current literature, few related literatures have such data presentation. This trial hopes to evaluate whether the use of NAVA can reduce mechanical ventilation day by analyzing electronic potential of diaphragm in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease. Investigators expect that participants with obstructive pulmonary disease using NAVA mode will have significantly less mechanical ventilation day than using conventional mode

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of oxygen therapy delivered by systems using oxygen-saving valves or not (continuous oxygen). We aim to determine if systems using oxygen-saving valves are equally effective as continuous oxygen delivery systems in reducing exercise-induced hypoxemia in patients with COPD.

Parallel, randomized and controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of 12 months of noninvasive mechanical ventilation versus conventional treatment in hypercapnic patients with stable COPD. Main objective: To evaluate the effect of 12 months of noninvasive ventilation on c-reactive protein concentration and daily physical activity in hypercapnic patients with stable COPD. Secondary objectives: To compare the plasmatic concentration of other inflammatory biomarkers between COPD patients with conventional treatment and wich noninvasive ventilation. To determine the response of breathlessness, health-related quality of life and lung function to noninvasive ventilation. To identify the COPD patients with a higher gasometric and clinic response to noninvasive ventilation.

Purpose of research:to explore a reasonable programmed withdrawal process of noninvasive ventilation and thereby reduce the duration of noninvasive mechanical ventilation in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The ELVIS study compares the nasal high-flow to non-invasive ventilation in treatment of acute acidotic hypercapnic exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Cardiovascular health is a critical problem in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Existing literature suggests oxidative stress from the mitochondria c driving some of the poor health outcomes in COPD. MitoQ is a mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant that has shown promise in improving cardiovascular outcomes in similar populations. Thus the purpose of this study is to test if MitoQ can improve cardiovascular health in COPD.

This study aims to compare nutritional outcomes in terms of percentage of weight gain between a new planted-based high-energy ONS and a standard high-energy ONS with animal protein (cow's mil protein) in patients at malnutrition according to Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria.
