Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases, Obstructive"

A two-phase research study is being conducted. In Phase 1 of the study, the cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for insomnia was implemented in a small (n = 5) group of people with moderate to severe COPD and insomnia. The intervention was pilot-tested to determine feasibility and acceptability, and the intervention will be refined as needed. In Phase 2 of the study, a two-group randomized controlled study (n = 20) will be conducted to test the effects of the cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia intervention on the primary outcomes of sleep quality and fatigue and the secondary outcomes of mood and functional performance. It is hypothesized that people with COPD receiving cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia will demonstrate significant improvements in sleep quality, fatigue, mood and functional performance as compared to people with COPD who receive a wellness program. This research will yield valuable information regarding effective interventions aimed at mitigating problems such as poor sleep quality, fatigue and reduced ability to perform valued daily activities. This information will be used to increase the likelihood of long-term successful outcomes such as the ability to maintain productive roles in society for people with COPD.

This study compared the safety and efficacy of indacaterol 150 µg taken once daily (o.d.) versus salmeterol 50 µg taken twice daily (b.i.d) in patients 40 years old or older with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate structural changes effected by AD9668 in the airways of adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) by Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the budesonide+formoterol combination is effective in the treatment of exacerbations of COPD with a main emphasis on investigating the effects on inflammation and a secondary emphasis on clinical efficacy

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate equivalent efficacy between two different formulations of formoterol (pMDI using HFA-134 propellant and dry powder) on lung function in adult patients with partially reversible COPD.

Objectives of the study are to investigate the safety, tolerability and levels of ciprofloxacin in the lung after single and multiple inhalative administration to patients with mild to moderate COPD (stage I-II according to GOLD Criteria).

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy (effectiveness) and safety of aclidinium bromide doses as compared to placebo in the treatment of moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study will be 16 weeks in duration; 2-week run-in period, 12-week double-blind treatment, and 2-week follow-up phone visit.

A study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of NVA237 versus placebo in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Endorphins are released in response to breathing difficulty and can modify the perception of breathlessness. In this randomized placebo-controlled trial, resistive breathing loads are used to provoke breathlessness in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The hypothesis of the study is that intravenous (IV) administration of naloxone, a medication which blocks endorphin activity, will increase the perception of breathlessness experienced by patients while breathing through a resistance device, compared with IV administration of normal saline.

The Purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of three strengths of the FF/GW642444 Inhalation Powder in subject with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
