Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases, Obstructive"

The purpose of this extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inhaled aclidinium bromide at two dose levels in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study will be 54 weeks in duration; a 52-week double-blind treatment period and 2 week follow-up phone call, following a 12 week lead-in study. All patients will be randomized from the lead-in study at one of two doses of aclidinium.

The objective of this clinical study is to determine the safety of intravenous MN-221 compared to placebo when administered in subjects diagnosed with stable moderate to severe COPD.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 4-period, incomplete-block crossover, dose-ranging study comparing 2 fixed dose combinations (FDCs) of aclidinium bromide with formoterol fumarate or with placebo, aclidinium bromide and formoterol fumarate, all administered twice a day (BID) in patients with stable, moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) beginning with a 2-week run-in period and with a 7-10 day washout each between treatment period.

Primary objective is to evaluate time to onset of effect of formoterol, 9 μg single dose,compared with salmeterol, 50 μg single dose, in patients with moderate COPD.Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) measured by spirometry 5 minutes postdose. Secondary efficacy variables: Average FEV1 during the first 15 minutes (area under the FEV1 curve from 0 to 15 minutes), Average FEV1 during 120 minutes (area under the FEV1 curve from 0 to 120 minutes)

A 24 week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 18mcg of tiotropium inhalation capsules administered by Handihaler once daily plus Pro Re Nata (PRN) albuterol (salbutamol) vs. placebo plus PRN albuterol (salbutamol) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease subjects naive to maintenance therapy.

The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of manualized, short-term group cognitive behavioral therapy for COPD patients suffering from clinically significant symptoms of anxiety and/or depression.

This study is to assess the effects with two different inhaled respiratory medications with regards to improvement of lung function, symptoms and morning activities.

This study will assess the safety and tolerability of QAT370 compared to tiotropium in patients with COPD.

The purpose of this study is to study efficacy and safety of AZD1981 in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious respiratory disease in which the airways in the lungs are partially blocked, resulting in symptoms of chest tightness, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Currently, there are many available treatments for managing COPD symptoms and improving quality of life, including medications, lifestyle changes, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation. For people with severe COPD that is characterized by very low blood oxygen levels at rest, long term oxygen therapy can help to prolong life and promote feelings of well-being. However, the effectiveness of supplemental oxygen therapy for people with COPD that is characterized by only moderately low blood oxygen levels at rest or normal blood oxygen at rest and desaturation on exercise is not known. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of supplemental oxygen therapy in treating people with COPD who have moderately low blood oxygen levels at rest or who have normal blood oxygen levels at rest, but have low or very low blood oxygen levels during exercise.
