Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases, Obstructive"

The purpose of this study was to determine whether a fixed dose combination of indacaterol and glycopyrronium (QVA149) has an impact on night-time blood oxygen levels in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

The primary objective of this trial was to establish non-inferiority of lung function response to tiotropium 10 μg, formulated as inhalation powder in the polyethylene hard capsule and delivered via the HandiHaler® 2, compared to tiotropium 18 μg, formulated as inhalation powder in the hard gelatine capsule and delivered via the HandiHaler® (Spiriva®) following single dose inhalation in patients with COPD. A hard polyethylene (PE) capsule with half the strength (tiotropium 5 μg) was included to investigate a dose ordering effect. The secondary objectives were to characterize the pharmacokinetics of tiotropium inhalation powder hard PE capsule (delivered via HandiHaler® 2) and tiotropium inhalation powder hard gelatine capsule (delivered via HandiHaler®) and to compare the safety of the two pharmaceutical formulations.

This study will assess preliminary parameters of safety and efficacy of a single dose of BCT197 in patients with a Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbation.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effect of multiple doses of suvorexant (MK-4305) on respiratory function in participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is a crossover study, so all participants will receive both suvorexant and placebo while on study. The primary hypothesis of this study is that multiple doses of suvorexant do not produce a clinically significant reduction of mean oxygen saturation (SaO2) during total sleep time in participants with COPD, as compared to placebo.

Pulmonary administered anticholinergic agents have shown their importance in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management to reduce morbidity, disability and mortality. To date, the recommended treatment of moderate to severe COPD patients consist in the combination of ß2 agonist and long acting antimuscarinic compounds. There is still a medical need in new product that could exhibit both anti-inflammatory and strong bronchodilation potency. V0162 is a compound with a potent anticholinergic activity. Secondary PD properties of V0162 could enhance the efficacy of this antimuscarinic compound and could bring new option in the treatment of this life-threatening disease.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate efficacy of PT003 MDI relative to its individual components (PT001 MDI and PT005 MDI) in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The study serves to determine whether the treatment of patients with stable, symptomatic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with the investigational drug NVA237 is efficient and safe. The efficacy and safety of the drug will be tested against a placebo treatment. The primary criterion to assess efficacy will be the difference between the serial lung function measurements of patients who have been treated for 12 weeks with NVA237 versus those that have received placebo treatment for 12 weeks. A serial lung function measurement (FEV1 testing) will be conducted and the "area under the curve" will be the measure for the ability to breathe.

The study will be conducted in a respiratory specialist institute in Japan, with standardized techniques and data assurance checks to optimize data quality. The licensed dosage and administration of Adoair in Japan will be applied in this study. Each subject will receive treatment options in a randomized blinded fashion. Subjects will be randomized following a 4-week wash-out phase to take either Adoair 50/250mcg twice daily or placebo twice daily for 12 weeks.

This study assessed the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the co-administration of NVA237 plus indacaterol taken once daily versus indacaterol taken once daily in patients with moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

This study compared the efficacy and safety of NVA237 with tiotropium in patients with moderate to severe COPD. Tiotropium belongs to the same drug class as NVA237.
